With Halloween just around the corner and me being the ‘any excuse for a party’ type that I am we are gearing up for a spooktacularly festive end of October! Florence loved it last year and was way more into it than I had thought she would be; she has continued to talk about it for the whole year so she’s thrilled that it’s coming around again and she’ll be even more thrilled when she finds out what I’ve got […]

Jimmy has grown up these past few weeks, sometimes almost like you could see it happening before your very eyes in just minutes! He was  a tiny, tiny baby such a short time ago and the now he’s almost on the move! His sister crawled when she was his age and I didn’t think he was going to do it but actually, he’s so almost there! He also sits for a little bit now too and I think is pretty […]

A friend of a friend is doing something amazing for charity and using her talents as a portrait illustrator in the process! The Willow Foundation, which was established in 1999 by Arsenal legend Bob Wilson and his wife Megs in memory of their daughter, organises special days for seriously ill people between the ages of 16 – 40! The charity wants to provide a little respite for people who are sick and their families; it believes spending time with loved ones […]

It’s competition time again! You may remember that a while ago, just after Jimmy was born in fact, we went to see Top Cat at the cinema and I’m happy to announce that the film is now out on DVD to buy! We loved the film when we saw it back in May (see what we thought here) and we’ve watched it countless times on DVD now too! It’s one of those films that’s entertaining for the whole family and not just the […]

As I’m sure any parent will testify, the search for that perfect toddler cup is a long, arduous and expensive one! I can’t even remember how many cups we’ve bought and binned, bought and then they’ve stayed at the back of the cupboard or bought and still use despite them not being very good because we need something, anything even if it’s a bit rubbish! The main problems we’ve found in our search have been leakage and ease of use […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! As this past weekend I saw my best friend get married I thought I’d say a little bit about what she means to me. I met Eve when we were 14 years old and her family and my Mum and I had all gone on a package holiday to Tunisia for Christmas. Fate that we should all choose the same hotel perhaps or maybe it was meant to be. The friendship Eve and I […]

With Florence looking so beautiful in her bridesmaid attire we simply had to get Jimmy a gorgeous outfit to wear for my friend’s big day! He actually had a day time and an evening outfit and it was his shoes which stole the show! Crave Maternity who were my favourite maternity brand for so many reasons are going to be making beautiful baby booties in sheepskin from the new year and we were lucky enough to have been given a […]

In recent months I have become far more interested in natural products for the skin, especially for my little ones. I think it’s easy to think about the actual products we are using but what about the materials used to apply them? I’m not sure I’ve thought too much about that in the past but since my latest find I can totally see the benefits in using natural products in that area too. I’ve found the perfect sponge for a […]

Florence sometimes needs a bit of incentive and with all the lovely things we are sent to review I often decide to give them to her when she’s been particularly well-behaved. Before my friend’s wedding I showed her the new Baby born Interactive dolly by Zapf which I just know she has been itching to get her paws on for some time now! Basically Florence has been after a dolly which can cry, wee, be fed with a spoon, go […]
