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…
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…
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…
The weather has definitely taken a cold turn and, if like me, you are up doing the night-feeds this Winter, you need to make sure you are warm. What is the use of the baby being all snug in his or her sleeping bag if whoever is doing the feeding is shivering with cold? I…
When I was preparing for the birth of Baby G, it did occur to me that the number of independent outlets selling nursery and baby outlets has diminished extensively.

Since our eight month update, we have had the worst teething month to date yet no more teeth. Think little sleep and the most pain yet-even though he got through the four cutting together fine. His crawling is amazing. He is so quick and into everything. We are slowly accepting that Baby G is…
1. The maternity section is still the first section you go to in Next sales. 2. You need a new pram/pushchair. You should go for a simple umbrella fold effort but instead? You are looking at beauties which could easily be adapted for two small, none-walking children. 3. You have kept every item of clothing…
Imagine the Incredible Hulk as a baby. That is what Baby G is like. He has a vice-like grip and whether it be hair, skin on your arm, your nose, a toy, food or something he isn’t supposed to have, those little fingers hold on for dear life. Considering his last monthly update, he had…
No one can accuse me of loving Baby G any less than his big sister but, since becoming the mother of more than one child, some of my practices have become…lacking, shall we say. Despite being only seven months in, my effort in doing less or being economical with time deserves some kind of award….
Prams are such a personal thing. They usually cost quite a lot of money and, if you don’t think about your lifestyle and where you will be using your pram, you could make a very expensive and spectacular mistake.
