Introduction to the Importance of Sleep for Health Good sleep is foundational to our overall health and well-being. It’s during these precious hours of rest that our bodies undergo repair, our brains consolidate memories, and our immune systems fortify themselves against illness. But achieving high-quality sleep can be a struggle for many, often due to inadequate sleeping environments. One critical …
I thought about the questions I get asked most by other bloggers and the one area of blogging that seems to be a little hush hush and mysterious is…..money! However, it’s not just about the money, lots of people message me asking how to respond to the emails they receive from brands or PRs. They lack confidence and I hope by …
A couple of months ago I went on a trip to Germany as part of the Pampers Baby Board.

Many of us have pets at home and they become an intrinsic part of the family. I know our home wouldn’t be the same without Lily and Lou Lou. Dogs give us unconditional love, unlike any other animal.

All opinions are mine alone. #CollectiveBias Wimbledon, one of the most well loved tournaments in the tennis calendar starts today.

Cheese is a staple of many family meals and it is certainly something we always have in the fridge without fail. Whether it’s cheese on toast as a winter comforting snack, making up a cheese board after dinner or topping some yummy nachos, cheese is definitely a firm family favourite. The folk at Cathedral City, the nation’s favourite cheddar, challenged me …
Baby has always loved Petits Filous and she has been eating My First Petits Filous since she was a baby. Since then she has experienced so many ‘firsts’; first steps, first time at the beach, first time on a pony, first time camping, first holiday, first bike ride, the list goes on. Every day it seems as if another first just …

A few weeks ago Baby was invited to take part in a challenge hosted by House of Fraser. The challenge? To dress herself! As a three year old this could have ended badly, but we signed up and waited for further instructions. Baby was asked to pick products from certain categories, and I must admit I was a little worried! …
#Ad brought to you by Braun. Prompted by the approach of Father’s Day, I chatted to Baby and asked her what she loved best about her Daddy. At three her requirements from her Daddy are simple, but they matter a lot to her; her response was cuddles and kisses. She is a very affectionate child and knows that she shows people …
Have you heard about the Pampers #LittleChampions Campaign? Olympic Heptathalon Champion Jessica Ennis-Hill is the face of the campaign, which focuses on making sure our babies are in the right nappies for the amount of movement they do in a day.

A few weeks ago I received a lovely email from the folks at Peugeot. It was one of those really lovely emails that pops into your inbox and immediately brightens your day. ‘Would we like to have a Peugeot 5008 compact MPV for a week to review?’ Umm let me think?…. We obviously said an immediate yes and couldn’t wait …
With a toddler in the house, one thing you can be assured of in our house is that we create a LOT of rubbish. Depending on where you live, getting rid of the rubbish can be a complex task.

We are beginning the count down the months until our move to France. It will be around June/July next year when we ship ourselves and our possessions across the channel to set up home somewhere near Dijon.

Last Wednesday our little angel turned three! She had been so excited for weeks and had been literally counting down the days. We got off to a wonderful start when she went downstairs to be greeted by this awesome Frozen banner announcing a party! As a Frozen obsessed little girl her day couldn’t have started any better. Her party goodies …
A couple of weeks ago we started a new bedtime routine with Baby. We had accepted the Johnson’s 3-Step Sleep Challenge, which claims to result in better sleep for children and a knock on effect of better sleep for parents too! It sounded perfect for us. The Johnson’s 3-steps are a bedtime routine of bath, massage and quiet time using their specially formulated …
It can be really difficult to feed your kids healthy, natural food, that they will actually eat. Baby is a fussy eater and her antics have caused me so much stress over the last couple of years. I am sure we all want to feed our children the best food we can, but when they won’t eat it, it can …

On Mother’s Day I had a lovely surprise. Mr Hubby had been in cahoots with Tesco. I will let him explain all! Depending on personal circumstances, Mother’s Day can be a wonderful family time or a sadder day reflecting on memories of much missed loved ones. We have a mixture of circumstances in our house so, whilst remembering …
This Friday we are heading to the Isle Of Wight for a weekend break. It’s much needed, as we seem to have been plagued by illness over the last couple of weeks and Mr Hubby has been away in France. It will be lovely to have a few days away from it all, just us three. I thought I would …
There are brands you just adore. Before I became a mummy I was a keen horse rider and loved to treat myself to a Joules jumper, hoody or gilet whenever I could. They combine such wonderful colours and prints, with great design. Joules have been selling their modern vibrant take on the British country look for more than 30 years and their range …
I started to blog to simply record the memories of our daughter, like an online, pimped up baby book. Over two years on my blog is so much more than that. Primarily, it is still a space for me and my daughter, a treasure chest of memories for us to look back on. However, my blog now has other functions as …
Occasionally there is a brand whose name is synonymous with quality and style; Jojo Maman Bébé is one such brand. So when they asked if Baby would like to try some pieces from their current range we jumped at the chance. The first outfit was the Elephant appliqué skirt and the super cute Floral trim breton stripe top. One of JoJo’s signature …
