Fisher-Price Soothe And Go Bouncy Chair Review And Competition


I’m sure you’ve been there. You’re busy making dinner, and you need two hands to take the heavy bottomed pot out of the oven. You had baby in a sling, but after tripping over the toddler and scalding yourself on the hot steam coming from the pot on the stove, you realise you just need…

Little Learners Books Review


It’s a great joy to myself and my husband that Ameli enjoys reading. She loves paging through books, and always asks us to ‘read the words to me Mama, read the words’.  I remember when she was a baby my lovely friend Kesia said that she never said no to her little boy when he…

Bug In A Rug Babyrug Review


Have you ever gotten your baby or toddler nice and warmly dressed, just to get out to the car and find you have to either take off their warm layers so they’ll fit in the car seat, or readjust the car seat straps? Then, having adjusted the straps so that baby/toddler is safely strapped in,…

Zalando Review And Competition


I’m not a shoe person. Honestly, I’d be barefoot all the time if I could. As it turns out, I’d lose my toes to frost bite if I did that and so shoes are a must. Even then, I only wear boots for as long as there is threat of snow or ice, before breaking…

May Sponsors


Without sponsors, I couldn’t justify the time I spend on these pages.  While it’s a hobby, it’s also how I pay for the things I do with my children – a blessing of modern life, right?  I’d like to tell you a little more about the companies that sponsor us!

Flexibath Review And Competition


When Ameli was eight months old we spent a few weeks travelling around Europe, camping. It was incredible and we had a really awesome time, and I can’t wait to get Aviya out in a tent (if this insipid rain would end!) The one problem we faced on that trip was campsite showers. Balancing yourself,…

BecoFeeding Set Review And Competition (UK Only)


You’ll know from my previous posts about BecoThings that I absolutely love their products. Their BecoPotty is our potty of choice, and I love that we can use it as a plant pot when both our girls are toilet ready. I love the BecoStep too. It’s sturdy, strong and Ameli drags it from her easel…

Honour Your Flow Post Partum Pads And Nursing Pads Review And Competition


Honour Your Flow is the work at home business for mum Vicky Sherrard, who became interested in reusable menstrual products when she was living in a yurt community ten years ago. She is now a mother to two and makes reusable pads and nursing pads and even organic cloth tampons from home. My foray into…

The Big Thank You


Thank you to everyone who supported us so amazingly in our transition from a 3-person family to a 4-person family. I feel like an Oscar winner, saying this list of thank you’s, but thank you needs to be said.


We’ve been going through a really hard few months since my husband lost his job last year. Our Christmas was paid for on loyalty card points from local supermarkets. Ameli received review items as Christmas presents from her mama and daddy. Hubby and I bought each other a £10 gift each, both of them practical. January wasn’t much better as the financial realities of two part time employed people came crashing down on  us.  That, with a baby due in February, was a particularly stressful time for us, and I’m not very good at sharing my needs, or showing my weakness. When I reached my breaking point, however, and spilled my fears and stresses to a few people in my support network, the love and generosity that poured out from them was amazing.

I feel a little like an Oscar winner when I say this, and with the friends that I have in my life, I’m better off than an Oscar winner, but here are a few thank you’s from Martin and I to some amazing people. (more…)
