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…

Acquadoodle Tray Table Cover Review And Competition


  So… summer is well and truly gone. The leaves are falling and I spend my days sweeping up bits of grass and other dead stuff from the conservatory.  The neighbour’s sweary kids are back at school, thank heavens, and we’ve unpacked our suitcases from our holidays.   But, summer being gone doesn’t mean the…

Pic Of The Week – Week 35


There’s this place in Namibia called Luderitz. We’d never been there before this trip because there’s no real reason to go there and there’s no way through – it’s a three hour trip there, through desert and nothing and a three hour trip back through the same. It’s an incredible trip though and an incredible…

I had such an amazing experience in Mozambique, I just had to share some of the photos with you here.

5-Country African Tour: Botswana To Namibia


Mozambique really floored me. I left there, and shed a tear. I shed a tear for a place I had spent less than a week in and even now a week later, I find it difficult to really capture what I felt there. Over the next few days we travelled back through South Africa, then…

Pic Of The Week – Week 32


Week two of our African Adventure (the second one for this year, can you believe it?) and we’ve been in Swaziland, among other places.

Mozambique – A Window To Another World


Mozambique. I’ve never been to it, but always known it as a place for great fish, and beautiful beach holidays, but I knew nothing about the country or it’s people prior to our visit. Mozambique reminds me of the Africa I grew up in. A place where you could walk freely, feel no fear, need…

Update On Almost Everything (Crystal Springs And Swaziland)


You may have noticed that things have been a bit off kilter around here lately, with my usual schedules going totally out of the window. That’s mainly been because my life has been like that, these last few weeks. When my sickness was really bad, and my dad invited Ameli and myself to join him…

Pic Of The Week – Week 31


It would be fair to say the last few months have been really difficult in our little family. I guess we all needed a break, so coming to South Affrica, and travelling around with my parents is just what we needed. Even Ameli is using the time with Oupa and Nana to rest.

A Reader Asks – Tips For Travelling With A Baby


You had done so much traveling with your daughter by the time she was 12 months old I am wondering if you have time to share any advice with me? (Jane no longer co-sleeps, but still breastfeeds her 10 month old who does not use a pacifier.)   We are planning on traveling to London…

We are planning on traveling to London from Australia for 2 weeks and I fear the plane trip incase she can’t sleep and the disruption her new routine will cause to her as she will be required to adjust to a new time zone and surroundings. I fear putting her through something she doesn’t have to go through if we just stay at home.  How did you travel and incorporate 2 naps at 12 months? My daughter has not slept in the pram since beginning of our summer when it became too hot so she is only familiar with sleeping in her cot but she has slept in a portable cot that we will take away with us.
