I’ve wanted to create with Fimo (also known as polymer clay and modelling clay) since I was at middle school. There was a really talented creative girl who made me a little ornament (which I’ve still got!) and I really wanted to have a go myself but never got round to it. So when Merry…

DK’s My First Word Play app
Edward is a geek already! He loves playing with our iPhones and iPad so we’re always on the lookout for new apps to amuse him. At 20 months he’s learned how to unlock the home screen to look at photographs of himself. He’s equally happy to take photos too! We were asked to try out…
Be prepared!

There’s lots of inspiration for gifts in this handy Christmas Gift Guide and I recently found something which I thought he…
(Review) Gurgle Baby Milestones
As a first time mum not too many months ago I meticulously recorded everything Edward did on paper and through his online blog. I also used the electronic baby journal WellStart but to be honest didn’t find it very easy to use and quickly abandoned it. So I was really happy to hear about Gurgle…
Diary of a Sleep Deprived Mum
My biggest fear about our new addition is the sleep deprivation! I have awful memories of the first few weeks with Edward where I quite literally wanted to gouge my burning eyes out I was so tired! At least I know what to expect this time. The people behind BBC Dragons’ Den success, Magic Blackout…
