Health Visitor Survey Caroline Williams, head of engagement at Healthwatch Norfolk I am happy to admit it has been a few years since I was a new mum, but I can still remember the time I got home with my twins for the first time and thought, ‘now what do I do?’ One of the great emotional lifelines for me was my health visitor who was there to help and support me through the twins’ early days, but they continue […]
Zita West – Pregnancy and Postpartum! I’m no stranger to pregnancy having had four children and I have both loved and hated being pregnant at various times. It’s a real strain at times and though we may love to waft about barefoot and at one with nature, it’s not always that easy. Your body may be designed to carry a baby but it can be very frustrating all the same. Your whole lifestyle changes of course and on top of […]
Orchard Toys Christmas Eve Box! I’m not sure where the idea for a Christmas Eve Box came in but we very firmly embraced it in our house and now, of course, it’s here to stay! We generally do a book, some pyjamas, a small stocking filler and a sweet treat so nothing big really but it builds the excitement and it’s the last offering from our elves before the big day and FC comes to visit. It also sits well […]
George Clothing X Peppa Pig! Posie was recently asked to be a member of the #OMGeorge club where she gets to be the first to model some of the clothing ranges at one of our faves George from Asda. We love George clothes as they wash well, last ages and the quality never diminishes. I even have clothing she wears which has been passed down from her big siblings that they have all worn proving just how long lasting the […]
Elfland – The Lost Wish! Christmas is a time for traditions old, and new and while it’s lovely to embrace all of the magic, realistically we do have to pick a few which work for us and stick to them because choosing everything can be a little overwhelming. We do have elves who come to stay every December and I’m so pleased that we chose to do that (although they are not elves that anyone else has as ours cannot […]
Tomy Toomies Peppa’s House Bath Playset! What to buys for a one year old at Christmas is a bit of a dilemma as they’re super little still and probaby not all that tuned into the festive season. It’s nice to have presents to open but in my opinion it’s a bit silly going overboard on gifts for someone who is too little to appreciate massive money being spent, doesn’t need it and would be overwhelmed by lots of new things […]
Little Belle Night Lights! When I had Florence we lived in a tiny flat which only had two bedrooms. It was a bit of a squash and a squeeze when she was born as the second bedroom was actually Jonny’s music room and have to be subdivided to make way for our baby girl. I did not enjoy having pictures of The Beatles on her walls anymore than I liked the fact the guitars, amplifiers and other musical accoutrements lived […]
ONK Baby And Toddler Reins! Once a baby starts walking it can be very tricky to persuade them to sit in the buggy, at least it does seem to be that way in my house at any rate. Until they’re much older and you want them to walk when they revert and want to get in the seat for a lazy push! Go figure… Posie has NEVER wanted to be in a buggy. Or a car seat, high chair or […]

Colief Vitamin C Drops! I don’t think I’m alone when it comes to worrying about getting enough vitamins into my children. I don’t even think I’m alone when especially worrying about it because my children don’t and won’t eat enough of anything let alone the right stuff. My boys are particularly tricky when it comes to food and though they occasionally entertain a strawberry or a cucumber, fruit and veg ar e way low down on their priorities unfortunately. On […]
