If you’re into camping or the great outdoors, you’ve probably heard of OLPRO. A family business, they were founded in 2011 because they felt there just weren’t any good quality camping equipment aimed at families. They also wanted something fun, funky and suitable for the Great British outdoors. Baby G was sent an OLPRO Husk baby…
Last week I attended a crochet workshop at Black Sheep Wools in Warrington. I am a frequent visitor there already as it is a stones throw away from the farm and, unfortunately for me (not them), it is on my way home from school so I quite often nip in with a baby on my…
We love anything personalised here. With Boo having a not-so-popular name, I grab everything I can. We have received personalised books before but, if I’m honest, the name has been the highlight. Sometimes, the stories can be disappointing. So when I was approached to review The Magic Chair, a personalised book, I really hoped it…
If you follow my blog and social media channels regularly, you will know my often chequered relationship with prams and pushchairs. My last experience with an umbrella-fold pushchair was when Boo was one (four years ago now) and I am not going to lie, I was sceptical. If you read my post about My…

November is such a busy month as we plan ahead for Christmas. I have been busy beavering away. I started off by making a Leek and Pulled Pork Bubble and Squeak with Poached Egg in conjunction with British Leeks. They are currently in season and I really enjoyed this post. Then, we had an afternoon…
This time last year I bought Boo her own little Christmas tree for her bedroom. Yesterday we put it up again. She loved doing it again but this year there was one notable addition to our activity. Her baby brother. If truth be told, I am dreading putting up the main tree and I thought…
Another month has flashed by. I did think I would be writing this saying still no more teeth but last night, as I tried to sooth his poor gums, I felt the jagged little edge of a tooth so hopefully, by the time I write the 11 month update we will have at least seven…
Everyone has someone they find hard to buy for at Christmas, don’t they? This year, I have teamed up with George at Asda and Talented Talkers to find out more about their Christmas gift guides and give you some ideas for those hard-to-buy-for family members. Whether it’s something for the home, for him, for her…
