I was worried about how Bob would react when her baby brother came along. It has been just the 3 of us for so long and she has had all the attention. I wanted to make the transition as easy as possible for her. I kept talking to her about how wonderful having a baby brother would be and how she would make an amazing big sister! I made her feel very grown up and special. I wanted to get [click here to read on]
In case you didn’t see my first post about the Kiddy Evo Lunafix car seat and it’s amazing lie flat capabilities here it is. As I knew that I was getting an Evo Lunafix I based my choice of pushchair on this. The Evo Lunafix fits on a Maxi Cosi chassis so it is compatible with many pushchairs. I love old fashioned looking prams, I am not a fan of the modern contraptions that look a bit like spaceships. The [click here to read on]
I have been attempting to take some newborn photographs of Bow. As he is tiny I turned up the heating and made him as cosy as possible. Things did not go to plan. Within half and hour he had weed on a backdrop and a fluffy cushion and pooed in a basket. 🙂 I managed to take a few and I want to take some more before he grows too much.

Don’t panic, I am not pregnant again! 🙂 I am just catching up and giving myself a chance to get over the trauma of childbirth before writing about it. 34 weeks pregnant – Our baby is the size of a butternut squash We love butternut squash and regularly have it in casseroles or with other roasted vegetables. Bob really likes it and when she saw what this week’s vegetable was she wanted to take a bite. I had to explain [click here to read on]

While it may be true that almost anyone with fingers and a camera may be capable of taking a good photo, a novice will not be able to (without an extreme amount of luck) capture the timeless moments you want to save, with the same level of quality that a professional can.

As regular readers of my blog may know, my daughter is not the best sleeper. When she was born she wanted feeding every half an hour and, even when she was fast asleep, if you put her in her Moses basket she would immediately wake up and scream. I expressed my concerns to my midwife and she said she would come and help. She spent 2 hours trying every trick in the book. She even rolled up a towel and [click here to read on]
We were recently invited to try the new Autumn menu at Brewers Fayre. We love Brewers Fayre and regularly visit our local one. Throughout my pregnancy I became obsessed with the corn dogs that they serve on Wednesday night’s Chef Counter. Visiting Brewers Fayre is always a relaxed evening out as Bob loves the play area which gives us time to think. I was not sure what it would be like this time with our new addition but luckily he [click here to read on]
