Lalaloopsy Dolls review and giveaway

Posted on March 26, 2012May 16, 2013 by jenny

To be honest I hadn’t heard of the Lalaloopsy but when I heard it was perfect for any young girl, especially one interested in craft, fabric, sewing and friendship, I leaped at the chance to review it with my family. If you haven’t heard of them before, Lalaloopsy are magical ragdolls who come to life…

The Little Green Sheep sleeping bag review

Posted on March 22, 2012August 12, 2013 by jenny

Like many mothers I would love to clothe my children in organic clothes. Both suffer from eczema so we are really careful about the clothes we buy, the washing powder we use and cleaning products used around the house. I was offered some baby sleepwear from organic baby and bedding company The Little Green Sheep…

Elimination Communication?

Posted on March 22, 2012July 28, 2012 by jenny

I was reading the latest issue of Mother & Baby and there was an intriguing article about Elimination Communication. Basically it means not using nappies and just knowing when your child needs the toilet. Despite being a stay at home mum I just can’t imagine having the time to do this on top of everything…

Nippaz With Attitude review

Posted on March 22, 2012November 7, 2023 by jenny

Do you have a trendy toddler? I don’t. He seems happiest when he’s wearing head to toe Thomas the Tank Engine clothing which is why I was delighted to hear about Nippaz With Attitude. This is an online clothing store selling cool unique baby clothing, music and gifts for funky street cred kids and babies….

Review: Johnson’s Skin Perfecting Oil

Posted on March 18, 2012April 12, 2012 by jenny

According to research by Johnson’s, 70% of mums with children aged 0-3 months experience stretch marks (vs. 44% of the general population) and 53% of mums are concerned about their stretch marks. I can hold my hand up and say I have stretch marks, two pregnancies in two years didn’t give my poor skin much…

Vertbaudet – pretty clothes for girls

Posted on March 15, 2012November 25, 2025 by jenny

Vertbaudet kindly offered to send me some clothes for Little Sis to review. I didn’t need to be asked twice as I love dressing her up, boys clothes are so boring and practical! They sent us two outfits, perfect for the beautiful spring weather from their Spring/Summer collection. Both outfits were in pure breathable cotton…

Mum you’re fabulous!

Posted on March 14, 2012June 26, 2014 by jenny

This year I’ll be celebrating my second Mother’s Day with my little family. I’m totally immersed in my little bubble of motherhood and enjoy every second, well, most of the time. My toddler has always made lots of noise but the one word I really wanted to hear was “mummy”. His first word was “daddy”,…

Homes for London

Posted on March 14, 2012June 26, 2014 by jenny

I’m a proud Londoner and have lived all over the place since moving to London in 2001. I’ve lived south and north and even east! I’ve been lucky to live with friends, friends of friends and strangers who have become friends. My accommodation has ranged from damp basement flats in Tufnell Park, to roomy flats…

Toddler talk

Posted on March 11, 2012January 5, 2013 by jenny

I know I have a typical toddler. At 23 months he has a huge vocabulary and is starting to string words together. He understands most things I say but he gets frustrated easily when he can’t show or tell me what he wants. I’m really cross (with myself) that we stopped going to baby signing…
