The journey through our latest pregnancy and looking back at our last
I’ve been thinking about this post for a while. What are my top tips for weaning? I think as Baby G nears his first birthday, the one thing that resonates the most is that no two babies are alike. I think given half the chance, Boo would still be spoon fed while around three…
Dear Humankind, I would just like to remind you that asking a woman when her baby is due, if she’s expecting, if she’s having another, would she like a seat, she’s got her hands full or any other phrase about pregnancy WITHOUT BEING 100% sure she is pregnant is unacceptable. Just this week, a man…
Many couples get themselves a cat or a dog when they first get married or move in together. I think it is a subtle way of marking their commitment. We too acquired a fur-baby when we moved in together. Rosie is now 8 and I still think of her as my first fur-born. The baby…
I’ve been putting off writing this update. Mostly because I am in denial. My baby will be one this time next month and I just want time to slow right down. We have eight teeth now. Two came through, just after the 10 month update. He is dribbling away again (Boo calls it dripping) so…
Babies can be so hard to buy for. If your children have grown up or you haven’t had any, it can be even worse as you can often forget what children are into at a particular age. With us, you can never go far wrong with farm-inspired gifts and, while sheep, cows and tractors might…

I had a conversation recently with some other bloggers about ideas of what to put in a baby’s Christmas stocking. It is Baby G’s first Christmas this year and while he won’t be aware of the stocking and its contents, his big sister will so, while I haven’t gone mad, he has got a little…
Don’t let your stocking stuffers be boring this year. Turn your photos into personalised Christmas gifts and stocking fillers for everyone this festive season. This year, I have decided to make sure everyone has something personal. Something which will mean something to them and/or me. I have decided to give photo gifts. Having kids myself…
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…
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…
