Join us as we take a trip to Window to the womb Chessington to say hi to baby girl. #blog #review

It’s official; my baby bump has popped. Pregnancy is a funny thing. The first 12 weeks you feel so bloated and pregnant, but no one else would really know. When your bump finally appears in the second trimester, it feels like a brilliant opportunity to try a new style and dress it up. But more often than not (and if you are anything like me) this is the time that your self-confidence takes a real knock. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but with each baby, I have found it hard

Bad dreams. We all have them, even grown-ups have bad dreams sometimes, so we know just how scary it can be waking up from one. Over the last few months, Marley (age 4) has really been struggling with nightmares. He started to become scared of the dark and was convinced that all of his stuffed animals were going to come alive during the night. It’s a normal part of childhood, and something that I am sure is a direct response to their active imaginations and super absorbent br

Finding things to do with the kids at the weekend is one of my biggest challenges at the moment. As a family, we love nothing more than being outside in the fresh air at weekends but sometimes it just isn’t possible, and even when it is we will always have some form of downtime at home. My Friday evenings usually involve sitting with a glass of wine while scouring Pinterest for fun kids activity ideas. A far cry from my Friday night’s pre-children! So when I was offered the c

Over the past couple of months I have been having a nightmare with my skin and its been driving me insane. As the chilly set in, my skin has started to feel dry, tight and lines started to appear. My husband says that they are smile lines…I’m not so sure! I was at a real loss of which product I should try next. So when I was asked to take part in the #MyAquaphor challenge sponsored by Eucerin I was thrilled. Eucerin Aquaphor is a soothing skin balm that gives dry to very dry,

I'm pretty excited to be writing my first Christmas focussed blog of the year! Only 67 days to go! For those of you who know me personally, you will know that I LOVE Christmas. I haven't talked about my love for Christmas all that much over the past two years because Felix usually uses December to give us all a scare. But I really do love it and I have high hopes for this year. I mean what's not to love about Christmas? Log fires, carols, and of course mince pies. All the mi

Sleep. You don’t think about sleep too much before having kids do you? But when you become a parent sleep has a whole new meaning. You stop worrying about your weekend lie in, and instead your sole aim in life is to get at least 5 strait hours of sleep at some point each night. Most of us find that we are planning are child’s night time sleep long before the clock hits 7pm. Not too much daytime sleep, no sleeps after 3pm (otherwise known as the danger nap) and not too much su

This week on Mumpreneur Monday I am delighted to introduce Louise & Kate from Craft and Crumb. Craft and Crumb is a unique cake kit company that offers parents a helping hand to make a fab looking cake for their child’s birthday. All they ask is that you provide your own eggs and butter.

This week on Mumperneur Monday I am delighted to introduce Kirsty from Tiny Human. Kirsty makes handmade items and gifts that make parenting that bit easier. Before having children, Kirsty worked for a local software company in the admin and marketing teams. Dealing with adults and having a to-do list she knew she would finish for the day at 5.30pm and her job would be done. Something that seems a world away from life today! Kirsty now has 2 chaotic bundles of trouble, 1 and

This week on Mumpreneur Monday I am delighted to introduce Ethna from Slobberscarves. Ethna makes handmade Bamboo Bandana bibs. Slobberscarves turned 7 this month and if we rewind 7 years then you would see Ethna with a 4-month-old baby, a 5 year old, a 7 year old and an 11 year old. Two years previous to that Ethna was working as a beauty therapist and both herself and her husband thought their family was complete. Then in 2009 they sadly had two deaths in their immediate f
