Finding fun for all the family
A recent study showed that one in four couples choose an 'extended family holiday’ - preferring to holiday with parents and grandparents[1]. A week away provides quality time with loved ones who can be hard to see throughout the year. There are also many added bonuses too - grandparents love to help with the babysitting, cousins are great playmates and often a villa all together can be quite … [Read More...]
How to Host the Ultimate Baby Shower
Much like Halloween, although a lot less scary, baby showers originated in the US but have slowly crept over to British shores and are now an essential part of many women’s pregnancies- especially celeb ladies! A survey by Carte Blanche recently revealed that two-thirds of mums-to-be have plans for a baby shower before their nine months are up and it’s not surprising; they’re the perfect way … [Read More...]

My daughter thinks she’s fat.
My daughter refused a piece of chocolate orange today, which is most out of character. When I asked her why not, her reply sickened me to my very core. 'Because I'm getting fat.' On hearing those words, even I didn't want a piece of chocolate orange. Let's get something clear straight away. My daughter is six and she is not fat, not in the slightest. She is one of those girls who are all long, almost … [Read More...]
Time Off for Snow
Once again, we have been bombarded with snow and extreme weather conditions which has caused our roads to become treacherous and our schools to close. But, doesn't this happen every year? Aren't we sick of waking up in the winter months and wondering whether it's safe to transport our kids to school? Where I live I'm afraid we are. There aren't many schools in the area and because the population is … [Read More...]
Have Baby, Will Travel … with a Micralite.
Micralite Superlite. That's the name of the stroller we took to Mexico with us recently. It's not what we normally use, as I have said before, we're Stokke Lovers but with Thomas Cook and their mean baggage allowance, plus carrying our things and our little one's the 'Superlite' name certainly stuck in my mind! So we gave it a whirl... We Loved ... It takes no time what so ever to put up. Seriosuly … [Read More...]
Cloth-bottomed boys – oh yeah!
When I first delved into the world of clothI had no idea of all the amazingly fancy nappies out there. I quickly I saw how easily addicting cloth nappies can be. I personally chose cloth for environmental reasons but quickly discovered that the facts and figures concerning cloth nappies and carbon footprints are all over the place. I have read that cloth nappies have a similar, if not higher, carbon … [Read More...]
Unleash your inner animal
I’ve just been writing over at The Bump Wear Project about an article I read on Vogue about how fur is going to be this season’s instant glamour hit, and to be fair, nothing will keep you warmer. Shaggy cuts and shrug-on styles give this winter’s furs – both real and fake – a laid back, rock ‘n’ roll edge, in the style of Karl Lagerfeld, Balmain and Cavalli. Pregnant? Fear not fashionistas, … [Read More...]

Teach or Listen?
I am not the parent I was twenty years ago when my eldest was born, for good and for bad. What is certain is that my four year old's experience of having me as her mother is quite different than my twenty year old's experience. Over the course of the past twenty years I have grown less strict about many things, although making certain that I do set boundaries and limits for my children. My biggest … [Read More...]
Pampers Save Lives With Your Clicks!
We are lucky that many of us have easy access to health care services. In the UK we take our vaccinations for granted, we get a letter through the door, we make an appointment, we go to a clean doctors surgery and have a needle stuck in our arm. Its standard procedure and something we are used to. But its not like that all over the world. In many third world countries every year around 59000 lives … [Read More...]
