Here I review the best products I have bought (or received) for our baby from birth to 3 months old. It has taken a lot of thought to compile this list. We have so many wonderful things for Isaac and have seen some lovely toys and items bought for other babies too. However, I have …

DIY timescales… before baby vs. after baby!
Now that we have a baby (and one that is starting to become mobile at that!) we also want to get loads of house things done! Typical! Although its easier said than done when your number 1 priority is getting pregnant, bear in mind that things take a lot longer and a lot more organisation …
Favourite lockdown memories
As lockdown is now easing (and hopefully for good!) I thought I’d list some of the best memories I have of this time with my little family of 3. This list isn’t in any particular order, just a few things that have come to mind that have helped me to enjoy this time as best …
How will Covid19 affect my child in the long-term?
This blog post takes a look at the potential mental health effects of the Covid19 lockdown on our babies and young children. I am one of many mums with a young baby during the Covid19 pandemic. I am at least fortunate enough that mine was born in February when we were not quite in lockdown. …

Establishing a routine with a young baby…
I have always been a little OCD and extremely organised. So, when a baby came into our world and shook up my rather timetabled life it took some getting used to! When Isaac was just 2 months old I began to use a daily routine with him. I wanted to ensure that Isaac had evenly …
The best baby sleepwear!
A short and sweet little blog post today – a review of the wonderful sleeping bags designed by the Gro-Company. One of the things I worried about when pregnant was what to put my baby in for a safe and comfortable night’s sleep. Everyone seems to have different ideas – blanket? swaddle? warm bodysuit? sleeping …
Being a ‘lockdown mum’ and my feelings about it lifting
Before writing this blog post I just want to express that I feel incredibly grateful that my little family have in the grand scheme of things been unaffected by coronavirus. Thus far, we have not been ill, we have had no financial issues and we have not lost any loved ones. I truly sympathise with …
