Following on from my previous post, I thought I’d continue on the bath time theme by talking about another product that has really helped us make bath time as calming and as fun as possible for Violet – even in those early stages when times were really tough. We’ve gone from bath time being something of

Review: Baby Dove Sensitive Range
When we first started bathing Violet, things really didn’t go to plan. Before I had a baby I envisioned our bath time being a sweet, bonding experience – I’d have a cute newborn splashing away in the warm water with a cute dollop of bubbles on top her head. Switch to reality and we had a

A Springtime adventure in London #ad
I love nothing more than a spontaneous day out. Before Violet was born, we’d always be hopping on and off the train to London, going for days out to explore the museums, catching a West End show or the odd cheeky shopping spree. However, since Violet arrived, life is a little different and it’s not

Review: Afternoon Tea at The Salt Room Brighton
Champagne, Cake and Caffeine – sounds like the perfect recipe for two busy Mums, right? So, a couple of weeks ago I headed down to The Salt Room to treat my good friend and busy mum-of-two Andrea to a rather special Afternoon Tea. This was to say thank you for hosting such a wonderful baby shower

Review: Cosatto Giggle 2 Travel System
When it comes to pushchairs and travel systems – I knew which one I wanted way before Violet had even arrived. We were at the Baby Show in London, where there was a huge array of pushchairs in all shapes, sizes and colours and as we walked around stall after stall, it all seemed a

Review: The Body Fuel Cafe Hove
Although I love my sweet treats – from towering hot chocolate with cream to endless bags of mini-eggs, when it comes down to it I’m quite conscious of nutrition and eat healthily most of the time. I also think being pregnant gives you another perspective on food – with every mouthful of food I’m feeding

Valentines Day Gift Guide 2017
We don’t really ‘do‘ Valentines Day in our house – we never really have as it’s just not our thing. However, as the days count down before Baby Peaches arrival, it’s got me in the mood to celebrate our last Valentines Day together as a couple, before we become a little family. We aren’t exchanging

A couple of weeks ago we were invited to Giggling Squid in Brighton for a sneak peek into their Christmas Menu ahead of their release date in early December.

Festive Food #2: Sweet Treats!
I am a self-confessed sugar addict. There is nothing I love more than a sweet treat, I would happy skip a meal in a restaurant and just head for the dessert. There no such thing as ‘too sweet’ and chocolate really is the way to my heart (take note Santa). So, today I wanted to

Review: Nescafé Dolce Gusto Eclipse Coffee Machine by De’Longhi
One thing I am addicted to is coffee. I know people moan about not being about to drink alcohol whilst pregnant, but for me coffee has been the hardest thing to give up. When I was going through IVF and in the first trimester of pregnancy I gave up coffee completely and it was so difficult!
