It’s official: I WISH they made kids clothes in adult sizes. There are so many of Jack’s clothes that I would wear if I could. Mostly dinosaur prints. I think more and more about starting a business to make cute kids’ clothes in both adult & children’s sizes – but […]
Buy of the Week: PurePotions Lavender Nappy Salve
The beauty editor in me was pretty excited about the new world of products having a baby would open up – but in truth the only thing I used on my boy’s skin for the first six months was natural coconut oil and a little eczema cream. But, like his […]
He’s not difficult. He’s ‘spirited’.
I’m currently sleep training (if you follow me on Facebook, you’ll know I started this process last week). We’re not quite there yet, but I am definitely seeing improvements – the last three nights Jack has slept on his own, in his cot, from bedtime (7ish) until 5am. As I’ve […]
Baby Buy of the Week: An Absolute Essential
If you’re looking for the perfect present to buy a new mum, or a mum-to-be, look no further than these super-soft muslin bamboo swaddle blankets by Aden & Anais. At £38.50 for three they’re not the cheapest muslins on the market (which is why they make a lovely present – […]
Baby buy of the week: TU Cute
I never thought I’d be the sort of parent to dress my little boy like a prince from the 80s. I always pictured dressing him in statement prints and cute slogan tees, adorable but completely pointless mini trainers. As soon as I had Jack the ‘cute but pointless’ category of […]

5 Things You Need From Tesco Kidswear Right Now
There is something really good going on in the kidswear department at Tesco right now. The boys prints for SS16 are seriously cute – I did a bit of a haul this week and now have some serious wardrobe envy of my boy. From shark print chino shorts to pineapple-print […]
Things that run through your head at 4.55am when your baby wakes up
Another day that started before I was ready. He’ll go back to sleep in a minute if I ignore him. He seems to be getting louder. Yep, he’s definitely awake. I really should sort out the curtains in this room. Maybe I can sleep through his noise if I put […]
Five Swimsuits For Summer (#MumBod)
Ain’t nobody got time for working out. Luckily, one-pieces are on-trend for SS16, so rather than spending those precious 10 free minutes doing crunches, put the kettle on and browse for the perfect swimsuit on ASOS. I always buy my swimwear on ASOS – firstly because they have roughly 10,000,001 […]
