Books To Prepare Children For Childbirth, Homebirth Or Waterbirth


I went to my library recently to find books to use to prepare Ameli, not only for a new sibling, but also for the arrival of a new child. While there were plenty books and stories, there weren’t any that didn’t have the older sister or brother going in to the hospital room to see… more

BoobieMilk Bras Competition


I have under-estimated the value of a decent bra for most of my adult life. I love pretty underwear. There’s something feminine about it. It makes me feel good… I like it – I just never thought it was a worthwhile investment.  Until I had my first bra-fitting for a decent bra: one that doesn’t… more

Sea-Band For Nausea Review And Competition (UK Only)


Sea-Band is a drug-free nausea, motion sickness and morning sickness relief band for adults and children. When I was pregnant with Ameli, I tried pretty much everything on the market to deal with the sickness my doctor kept telling me was in my head. For the first few weeks I can honestly say that I… more

Pregnancy Support Pillow From By Carla Review And Competition (UK Only)


I’ve found a fantastic pregnancy support pillow that suits my bed time sleep needs to a T.  The Support Pillow from By Carla has been my regular bed time companion for a couple of months now and I love it. I’ll start with the one drawback:  it’s quite a small pillow – but then I’m… more

Hevea Natural Rubber Bath Toys Review And Competition


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

Freya Designs Memory Box Review And Competition


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

These are really lovely gifts and would make a lovely Christmas present for baby’s first, or to spoil mum. There are three stocking options – a massage stocking, a bathtime stocking an a bedtime stocking, and they… more

By Carla Splash Bib And Mat


Before Ameli was born, I was told repeatedly to stock up on bibs. We had a drawer full. I expected waterworks. As it turned out, we rarely used bibs. Even during weaning, Ameli just wasn’t a messy baby, and certainly not a drooly one. So a year or so passes, and we start doing crafts… more

Bravado Nursing Bras Review And Competition


This probably won’t come as a huge surprise to you, but I’ve never understood people who completely gave up their bras for the duration of pregnancy and breastfeeding.  Perhaps it’s a boob size thing? Let’s just say I’ve never had an issue getting a ‘normal’ bra down under the breast to feed my baby. But,… more

Chocolate Cards Review And Competition


I have a second little competition for you today – but since it’s chocolate I’m sure you’ll forgive me! Your Surprise have sent us a gorgeous Chocolate Card, and I think these make such fantastic Christmas gifts, especially for those people you’d love to get something  for, but can’t think of what. more
