Galt Toys Playnest Review And Competition


I am such a fan of Galt Toys, that I could, quite frankly, feature their products every month and not run out of things Iove for both Ameli and Aviya. This week, however, it’s an Aviya toy that we’re raving about: The Galt Playnest

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…

Cheeky Wipes Reusable Wet Wipes Review And Competition


While we’ve never escaped nappies, with a toilet averse toddler, we’re about to embark on the journey all over again. While I’m really keen to try part time Elimination Communication down the line, I know that our lives and our life styles, and the fact that I don’t actually have ‘maternity leave’ (I work part…

Top Reviews For 2011


Diary of a First Child grew so much in 2011 and the support we received from brands and companies was pretty amazing. While we try to keep things as natural and environmentally friendly as possible, we also live in the ‘real world’ and I’ll admit, sometimes I too reach for the convenient, the beautiful, the…

Green People Organic Toothpaste For Children Review


Toothpaste and toothbrushing. The nemesis of most parents, I think, and one we pretty much avoided by not brushing teeth regularly, but counting on night feeds of breastmilk  to clean the teeth – that’s been my totally unscientific solution, anyway. We eventually started brushing Ameli’s teeth a few months ago now, but we made it…

Hello Mellow Organic Massage Oil Review And Competition


I absolutely loved doing baby massage with Ameli as a newborn. I felt that it benefitted her, it gave us something special to do together, rather than me just staring at her in awe, and it gave me a lot of confidence in handling her:  I became a lot less frightened of her fragility and…

VivoBarefoot Children’s Shoes Review & Competition


When Ameli was just starting to walk, I took her out onto the grass one day and she hated it. She screamed, wanted up and cried. I was mortified at the thought that my London-born, concrete jungle baby might not like the outdoors. I was assured by friends that this was not abnormal, and that…

Jackson Reece Herbal Wipes


I really love Jackson Reece baby wipes. I don’t get to use them as often as I like since they seem hard to find in a lot of the places near me, but when I do get to buy them, I love them. I’ve written about Jackson Reece wipes before, so I’ll do a brief…

Tidy Tray Giveaway


As a mum to be, you spend so much time worrying about all the things YOU simply have to have for your new baby. Soon, however, you realise that so much of it YOU really don’t need at all, and it’s once you stop worrying and actually just start listening to what your BABY needs…

Green People Fair Trade Baby Oil, Nappy Balm And Baby Lotion Review And Giveaway


It’s no secret by now that I love Green People and their products. If I could sell it, I would. I should, in fact, since I recommend it to people everywhere I go. So, when Green People released their new range of Fair Trade goodies, it really seemed only right that I test them out,…


It’s no secret by now that I love Green People and their products. If I could sell it, I would. I should, in fact, since I recommend it to people everywhere I go.

So, when Green People released their new range of Fair Trade goodies, it really seemed only right that I test them out, and give you the opportunity to do the same. So, without further ado, here are my thoughts on the Green People Fair Trade products.
