Introducing Cosatto’s latest launch – the Ooba 3-in-1 Travel System. The Ooba offers the complete package when it comes to a travel system. Along with the chassis, carrycot and pushchair seat comes a matching changing bag, cosy toes and rain cover, so there’s no need to buy any extras. What I love about the Ooba is the modern and functional design. Not only is it one very good looking pushchair (I received…
Bonnie Baby
Playsuit & Blanket – Bonnie Baby I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend. Matt, Henry and I headed down south to visit family and spent the long weekend taking walks in the sunshine and indulging in a few much needed lie-ins whilst Henry enjoyed some quality time with his granny and grandpa! Henry’s Easter gift this year came in the form of this cute little romper and rainbow blanket, courtesy of Bonnie Baby. With…
Life Lately – Baby’s First Food
Baby Henry has started his weaning journey! I’d had everything ready for a few months – a cupboard full of spoons, freezer pots, trainer cups and baby porridge awaited me, alongside the ever popular Annabel Karmel’s Baby & Toddler Meal Planner. We started things off when Henry was 24 weeks old, trying him with a few teaspoons of porridge (see below for his reaction!) He’s since experienced the delights of carrot and…
Shabby to Chic – Upcycled Wooden Highchair
As a fan of upcycling, I knew my hobby would also extend to any baby related furniture we’d acquire. Henry’s nursery is a testament to my love for reviving second hand furniture (a nursery tour will be coming up shortly!), so when it came to looking for a highchair for him, I knew I wanted something unique and vintage. After missing out at an antique auction, I finally managed to source this beautiful wooden…
Baby Bedtime Routine
Every parent lives in hope for the day their baby sleeps through the night. When Henry’s silent reflux was at its worst, sleep was a battle. It would often take hours to rock him to sleep, he would wake continuously throughout the night, often just an hour after he’d fallen asleep, and all three of us were completely exhausted. We considered it a good night if Henry managed to sleep 3…
Newborn Essentials
It can be quite overwhelming planning for your new arrival. The baby market is bursting with items, and it’s all too easy to start thinking you need absolutely everything! Here are the items that we relied on in the first few months after Henry’s arrival… Izziwotnot Gift White Wicker Moses Basket When I pictured my ideal moses basket, I envisioned something beautiful and fresh looking. The Izziwotnot White Wicker moses basket is exactly that…
Henry’s Current Favourites
I’d like to keep a record of Henry’s favourite, to see how they change and develop as he gets older, and hopefully it might help some other mums in the process! Snuggle Bunny This adorable board book follows Snuggle Bunny as he gets ready for bedtime. The centre of each page is cut out to allow for the hand puppet to pop through, which Henry loves to watch and reach…
Henry’s 4 Month Update
As every parents says, I can’t believe how quickly time is passing. Our son is no longer a tiny little newborn, but a rapidly growing baby boy, exploring his new world and developing new skills alongside his blossoming personality. Every day is delight, holding new things in store and it is such a joy to watch him grow. – – – Reflux & CMPI After a terrible first three months,…
Baby’s First Christmas
Although it now seems like a distant memory, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to document Henry’s first Christmas here on my blog. During my childhood, the festive period was the most magical and enchanting time, so now that Matt and I have a little one, we thought it would be a good time to start some of our own Christmas traditions. Last Christmas we bought a beautiful white dove tree…
Storksak Caroline Changing Bag
When it comes to changing bags, Storksak was the first brand that sprung to my mind for a high quality, stylish bag. Made from an easily cleanable nylon with a faux leather trim, the Storksak Caroline is spacious enough to use both as a changing bag and a weekend bag. The classic design and colour mean this a changing bag Matt can use too, and he was pretty excited when it arrived and…
