As you know I am a recent convert to ‘real nappies’ and I love them! I use ‘real nappies’ on my daughter for a number of reasons, one of which is that I don’t like the idea of all the chemicals that disposable nappies contain being close to my daughter’s delicate skin. So it shocked […]
Although it seems like we have been surrounded by ‘Christmas’ for months, in shops, online and on the TV, we have now entered December and I finally feel justified in feeling festive!

My two year old daughter loves trains and Chuggington is one of her favourite TV series.

So you can imagine how excited […]
