So Bambino Mio have challenged me to use the Miosolo on Elizabeth overnight! Although I have been using cloth on her botty at night since she was around six months old I have a specific part of my nappy stash that I keep as ‘night time nappies’, (these are made of bamboo, are bulkier that […]
Pregnancy is a magical time, but it can also be an expensive one! Not only do you want to start buying things for your new addition, you also have to think about how your body will change over the coming months! Those smart shift dresses and suit’s that make up your ‘work wardrobe’ won’t fit […]
World Book day is almost upon us for another year and this time I had the challenge of finding a costume that met the approval of my rather fussy nine year old. Although he wanted to join in with the day and demonstrate his love of reading, he sees himself as too ‘grown up’ for […]
When the nights are dark and cold, there’s something really comforting about snuggling up under a blanket with the family and watching a good movie or two. To celebrate The LEGO Batman Movie hitting the cinemas this weekend, the lovely folks at Warner Bros have asked me to share my top tips for a perfect […]
January can be a miserable time of year, the excitement of Christmas is over, there are bills to pay and the weather is pretty rubbish. There is one way to escape the dreariness of the long cold nights and put a smile on your face, and that is to plan your adventures for the year […]

So Mummies you may remember I was very excited a few weeks ago to find out I had won the Emma’s Diary Competition at the Manchester Baby Show for a Britax -Smart 4 in Black Thunder! Well it arrived last week and today I used it for the first time! So I thought I […]
It’s Valentines day! Are you in love? Are you comfortable in your relationship? Have you put on weight since you were single? I have to admit I wasn’t actually that surprised to hear that 90 per cent of women put on weight when they settle down with a long term partner, with the average female […]

So it’s the second day of Real Nappy Week and today I want to write about switching to cloth from disposables…. Although I may be slightly(?) fluff obsessed now I’ve not always used cloth nappies on my children. Elizabeth is my second child and with her big brother Ben I used disposable nappies. When I […]

Although Halloween isn’t officially until next week, as most children will still be on half term my son’s school hosted their Halloween Disco last Thursday! So this was to be Ben’s first proper Halloween party! I was slightly worried as he has always had quite a considerable fear of anyone dressed up! We have not […]
Buying the right shoes for Babies and Children can be confusing. Experts say that bare feet is best for babies and young children, as children’s feet are soft and pliable making them prone to damage. My daughter Elizabeth is 10 months old and has recently started ‘cruising’ around the furniture and walking holding our hands, […]
I’d like to start this post with an apology. I’m afraid over the last few weeks I have neglected you, my readers. For that I am very sorry! If I may explain… Two weeks ago I returned to work, my ‘day job’ in an office. I know many of you are surprised to find that […]
