Friday Features: ‘Little Snowflakes’ And ‘The Variegated Life’
| December 30, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Friday Features |
Little Snowflakes is a blog I hate to love. She tidies her house. She has a plan. She works out and makes it sound like a good idea. And she proves that everything I say I can’t find the time or energy for is just an excuse. She’s bothersome and it’s totally my own fault… more

| December 28, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Pic Of The Week, Projects |
Well, there hasn’t been much mistletoe or wine, truth be told, but there has been plenty fun and game. I find it rather hard to get my head around the fact that it’s the last week of 2011. Where exactly has this year gone?! Well, it’s the second last Pic of the Week, since I… more
Hevea Natural Rubber Bath Toys Review And Competition
| December 26, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Competitions, Products, Reviews |
Ameli loves her bath toys, and since I rarely get to bath without her, I have a rather intimate knowledge of various different bath time critters. I’m always happy to add to our bath time frivolities though, so I was pretty keen on trying out these rubber bath toys from Hevea – by which I… more
Friday Features: ‘Becoming Crunchy’ And ‘Liberated Family’
| December 23, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Friday Features |
When mothers sit in a circle at toddler groups talking about the allergies and asthma and eczema in their children, and medical professionals say that these are all on the rise, and levels are higher than ever before; when people in their twenties and thirties (three of my friends in the last two years) are… more
Bauble Wreath Craft Project
| December 22, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Mama Crafts |
Our first Christmas together I bought a big box of baubles really cheaply, and it adorned our tree for a few years. Over those years however, I bought nicer, better quality tree decorations at special places: the Bath Christmas Markets, on a shopping trip with my mother-in-law and so on. more
Pic Of The Week – Week 50 – Tree Decorating
| December 21, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Pic Of The Week, Projects |
I had such fun putting up the Christmas tree with Ameli. It’s the first time she’s really been able to help or shown an interest, which made it all the more exciting for both of us. She’s become so expressive in her language usage and her understanding of things, and it’s just been an amazing time… more

Freya Designs Memory Box Review And Competition
| December 19, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Competitions, Products, Reviews |
Soon after Ameli was born, my friend Kesia sent us a massive gift box filled to the brim with baby products, books and a whole bunch of gorgeous bits and pieces for her. I popped everything relating to the pregnancy, birth and the next few months, into the box and when she was about 7… more
I really need to find someone who wants to do a maternity shoot for me, because this picture was just a spur of the moment thing. We were walking into the local Birdworld and they were offering free photos to passers-by (with the hope you’d book a full shoot for another day, I guess.) So we agreed and got our free photo (they actually gave us two, one including the bump) and I just love the picture!
