When it came to choosing a highchair for Henry, I wanted something which was safe, easy to use and quick to clean. The bright and bold Cosatto 3Sixti Highchair fulfils all three requirements. As always with Cosatto products, the design is vibrant and fun. I picked the cheerful Hapi Apple print, but there are seven other colourful designs to choose from, bound to delight babies with their primary colours and repetitive pattern. Eat What…

Henry’s 8 Month Update
Henry’s personality has very much blossomed over the last couple of months. These are the words I’d use to describe our 2ft 4″, blonde haired, blue eyed baby… Tenacious. Stubborn. Vocal. Passionate. Energetic. Impatient. We certainly have a spirited little boy. Henry knows what he wants and makes it clear to all around if he’s not happy with something. (Equally, he laughs loudly and with gusto if something pleases him, and constantly charms strangers…
Matalan Hospital Bag Checklist & Giveaway
The hospital bag checklist – on every pregnant woman’s to-do list. It was strange, during my pregnancy with William and Noah, I stayed in the labour ward on five occasions, yet never ‘officially’ packed a bag. After my waters broke with William at 20 weeks, I knew it was just a matter of time before I went into labour, yet I still couldn’t bring myself to do it. When the…
Etsy Finds – Toys
Etsy is my favourite place to browse for unique items for Henry, and lately I’ve been on the lookout for toys. The baby toy market is dominated with garish, all-singing, all-dancing plastic toys, and whilst Henry has his fair share of these, I just love traditional toys – simple in their concept, basic in their design, and crafted from natural materials. I’m sure the items below will be making their…
Hercule the Elephant
We recently welcomed Hercule the Elephant into our home. Don’t you just love his ribbed green sweater and cute little hat? Hercule is a vegetarian and grows radishes on the windowsill. Very good at darning socks, he also enjoys watchings rockets go into space. As Henry’s first knitted toy, he holds a very special place in the nursery. There is something nostalgic and quaint about knitted toys, and I love the modern twist given…
Baby Travel Essentials
After returning home from a lovely two week holiday in Kalkan, I thought it might be helpful to other mums to put together a few baby holiday essentials. Apart from the obvious items such as high factor sun cream, hats, favourite toys and swimming gear, these are the items we found made the whole travelling-with-a-baby experience a lot easier… 1. SnoozeShade – Essentially a blackout blind for the pushchair and carseat. This…
Henry’s 7 Month Update
Romper from Zara Mini ~ Flat Cap, Anchor Shorts & Trilby Hat from H&M Weight: Henry weighed 17lbs 15oz at his 7 month visit, which means I finally got him back up to the 50th percentile, hooray! Health: Healthy little bubba. I can’t quite believe we’ve managed seven months without so much as a cough or cold! Routine: Henry has naturally developed his own routine, so I now know when all…
What’s In My Changing Bag
The contents of Henry’s changing bag is ever evolving as he grows and develops. When he was a newborn, the necessities such as nappies, wipes, nappy bags and a change of outfit were all I needed, but now he’s keen to explore the world, there are a few extra items I always take with us… Henry’s currently teething (we can spy his two front teeth peeping through his gums but…
Henry’s 6 Month Update
My baby boy is already 6 months old. Half a year! I can’t believe it. These past 6 months have absolutely flown by. It is truly incredible to see the tiny and vulnerable newborn we brought home blossom into a spirited little boy. Watching him learn and develop each day is such a gift, I feel so blessed to have him in our life. He has brought so much light and…
