We went at the beginning of August and, although 30 degree heat can suck the joy from most things, we … Continue reading Review: Peppa Pig World at Paulton’s.

Review: A Love Story about my Vax Blade Cordless Vacuum.
Just to be clear I'm no Mrs Hinch. I don't live in a beautiful show home and I don't love cleaning. I do love making my own cleaning products, genius storage solutions and my new Vax though. I do my best to keep our 1920s terrace clean and tidy as mess drives me a bit … Continue reading Review: A Love Story about my Vax Blade Cordless Vacuum.
Review: Pacifier Case by Baby Wings.
We never planned to use a dummy but Tiny's had a dummy since she was only a couple of weeks old. Contrary to what we were told by literally everyone babies do not stop drinking when they're full. Babies like to suck. It soothes them. Tiny used to drink until she threw up regularly. This … Continue reading Review: Pacifier Case by Baby Wings.
I don’t flush my loo any more.
Okay... more accurately I don't flush my loo very much any more. If it's yellow let it mellow and all that. It turns out that water is expensive on a meter and so we've been trying to save money (and water) by flushing our toilet much less frequently. And honestly I hate it. We may … Continue reading I don’t flush my loo any more.
The Essential Baby Shopping List.
Everyone says babies just need their mum and love...which is true but here's some stuff they'll also need: 1. Clothes.

Review: Isabella and Us Mummy Cards.
It's always great to be able to work with a brand that you really believe in and I love the positive parenting message behind Isabella and Us. Let's face it - parenting is hard. It is wonderful and rewarding but it's also exhausting, terrifying and all consuming at times. We constantly celebrate the progress of … Continue reading Review: Isabella and Us Mummy Cards.

My Hospital Bag Packing List.
So you're pregnant and b-day is approaching. Here are my thoughts on what to pack. Disclaimer - I only lived a 10 minute walk from the hospital so my bags might seem a bit lighter for that reason! I'd recommend packing your bag from 36 weeks as you never know when the small human might decide … Continue reading My Hospital Bag Packing List.
