Water Babies is the HIGHLIGHT of our week, honestly – Violet just loves it. Well, she is a pisces so I knew she’d have an affinity for water, but I didn’t realise she would show it at such a young age! Chapter 2 is over now, so it’s time to look back on our Water

The Teddy Bears Tea Party
Watching Violet grow and learn has got to be one of the best things about being a parent. Every time she reaches a new milestone or learns a new skill, I just burst with pride. This morning, I went into her room to collect her from her cot, I could see she was awake on

Review: Cosatto Noodle Supa Highchair
Whilst we are on the subject of weaning (did you see my las post, is Violet a FUSSY EATER?!) – I thought it would be fitting to write a little review of our super cute highchair as I’m always getting people asking me where it’s from and I am a little bit in love with

Weaning: Uh Oh – have we got a fussy eater?!
It’s time for a WELL overdue weaning update! Violet is now 10 months and well on the road to eating solids, but I have to say it’s been a much trickier journey than I ever imagined. As Violet reaches 10 months, she is becoming a really fussy, picky eater which I really didn’t expect as

They say that when you have children, Christmas becomes all about them, and I can safely confirm after our first Christmas together as a family that this is true, but it is also totally magical experience too.

Violet’s First Christmas Eve Box
It’s beginning to look a LOT like Christmas in this house, the tree is up and I’ve gone full swing into preparations for Violets first Christmas. I know I’m probably going completely overboard, seeing as she won’t really understand whats going on besides the twinkly lights, tasty food and scrunchy wrapping paper – but if

Review: Summer Infant Pop n’ Play Deluxe Playpen
People often ask me how I manage to work from home whilst looking after Violet. My blog is not just a hobby, but it’s actually my business that has supported us throughout my maternity leave, so finding time to fit work into my day is essential. Until about 2 months ago, fitting my work into

5 surprising things about my post-baby hair
Before Violet, I loved looking after my hair, I used to spend ages each day blow drying it, straightening it and keeping it in top condition. I also loved getting it coloured and would spend a fortune on full-head highlights too. How did I have the time or money for all of that? Seems like
