So you may have seen me tweeting or writing on facebook about the #miosolochallenge that I’m taking part in this week and you’re probably wondering what it’s all about? Well as you may know (as I can be rather vocal about it!) I use cloth nappies with my daughter Elizabeth and in the last 13 […]
Last Sunday Matalan kindly invited us to visit Chester Zoo along with 14 blogger families for the #Matalanzooday! Rather surprisingly considering the previous week’s weather the sun was shining and there was barely a cloud in the sky, a lovely start for a day out… Thank to my husband’s over enthusiastic timekeeping we actually arrived […]

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 […]
So Mummies I went to my first ever baby show this morning and it was Fab! I wish this had been ‘up north’ when I had been pregnant with either of my two! I was tempted last year but thought Birmingham or London was just too far to travel! As my youngest is now nine […]
Life at this time of year is busy. On top of the usual demands of both grown ups in our house working full time, commitments of a blog and a scout troop to run, school and clubs for the children, there is also the extra pull of festive events, plays, Christmas parties and more. Sometimes […]
I apologise that this isn’t really a post about ‘penny pinching’ but this issue has been around the media today in response to research just out that controversially suggests, ‘babies should sleep in mother’s bed until age three.’ So everyone seems to have something to say about this from the TV, to the papers and […]
Elizabeth has had 6 teeth come through in the last two months and has more on the way so as you can imagine she is quite a dribbler! I am always on the look out for funky dribble bibs that will not only absorb her drool and keep her delicate skin dry and rash free […]
Like most Mummies I love taking photos of my children. You may even say I’m slightly obsessed! I recently transferred the last four year’s photos over to an external hard-drive and even I was surprised at how many there were! Just over twenty one thousand! Having all these pictures that are of full of […]
I was tagged by the lovely Mummy VS Work to share with you what job I would have if I could have any in the world. Well this is a subject that is quite prominent on my mind at the moment as I am currently on Maternity leave and due to return to work in […]

A giant Playmat and a portable playroom… I was delighted to recently be given the opportunity to review a fabulous new product to the nursery market! I’d read a few things about this new ‘giant playmat’ after it’s launch at the Excel Baby show last Autumn and was intrigued! Like most Mummies I had bought […]
