I think it’s always exciting when you get a station in a game of Monopoly and I was trilled to take my life sized game to Fenchurch Street station this week! Jimmy and I went on a little day trip just us while Florence was at nursery and we took our Bugaboo Bee up into the heart of the City! My boy is a real BOY and loves nothing more than being on the tube and trains. He choo choooooos […]
My children have both always been pretty bad sleepers. Florence never slept for more than a couple of hours when she was a baby and she only started to really go through the night when she turned around two. She still very often ends up in our bed by morning and her brother is pretty similar. He still co sleeps with us and I don’t expect him to go through the night but it would be nice if he could […]

I don’t bake. I mean I do, but it very rarely comes out of the oven resembling something you would want to eat. Still, yesterday we decided we’d have a lazy day at home and for some entertainment we would make some brownies! I’ve made brownies before but they weren’t very nice and I didn’t have high hopes for these but… As it happens and in some kind of fluke, they came out of the oven just as they should […]
I was asked recently if we would like to review a special book from Love2Read. After looking at their site which offers bespoke picture books with uploaded photographs and words that you choose yourself, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one and said yes please! Obviously the bespoke nature and being able to put our own photographs inside the book was very appealing but what I was most drawn to was the ‘learning to read’ element! Florence has […]
I went to an event last week help by computer protection specialists AVG. They wanted to talk to parent like me, who have children born in the digital age, to find out what we do to secure them while they are on line. I have to confess that although computer safety has crossed my mind I have done absolutely nothing to lock down any of the devices we use and make them 100% child friendly. To be honest, I didn’t […]
FitFlop are new on the shoe scene but they’re really taking it by storm. Six years ago, the idea was a pipe dream for Marcia Kilgore, a beauty industry entrepreneur and mum. She collaborated with two biomechanists, Dr David Cook and Darren James, to make FitFlop a reality. As a young company they pride themselves on bringing a fresh take to footwear. They manage to combine fun, stylistic elements with function and purpose, resulting in shoes that look and feel […]
A while back Florence, Jimmy and I went to a Teddy Bear’s picnic which we were invited to by GrowingUpMilkInfo.com. This is a site dedicated to giving information about toddler nutrition and gives expert advice for any worries you might have. It also gives you lots of information about using formula for babies over 12 months. Now, I never use formula myself, either before or after 12 months as I breast feed but I’ve found the site quite useful for […]
Every week at Aldi (which if you don’t know I am rather a big fan of in general) they have special buys which are sold on a ‘when they’re gone, they’re gone’ basis! You can get some fantastic things and it’s always worth a look because the prices are brilliantly generous! On Thursday 30th January their special buys included lots of baby things like a Hauck buggy for £22.99, a toddler pillow (which we’re going to try and get) for […]
