Brand New

Bow is now 4 months old but I am playing catch up as I’ve only just finished my Pregnancy Diaries. I had forgotten how small newborn babies were. Now Bow has joined our family I am amazed at how tiny he is. I am also surprised at how much Bob has grown up since he arrived. I am not sure if it is because we are comparing her to Bow or if she has stepped into her role of big [click here to read on]

The Luck Of The Irish

I used to say that I never won anything. I always enter raffles and I love playing bingo but I never used to win. This all changed when I went to watch Bob’s nativity. She played a camel and she was a little superstar! We had all been asked to bring in something to contribute to a hamper for the raffle prize. I was supposed to take in some meringues. Bob was very unwell the week before the performance and [click here to read on]

How Not To Change A Baby Boy's Nappy

Before I had a newborn baby boy I would have thought that changing their nappy would be easier than changing a newborn baby girl’s. I was wrong! I have changed older baby boy’s nappies before and I am already aware to watch out for sprinkles as the cold air hits. I was prepared for this but it has yet to happen. Maybe this is something they learn with experience. I wasn’t aware however of how many nooks, crannies and wrinkly [click here to read on]

Bing Surprise Machine Giveaway

Bob loves Bing! I keep thinking she will grow out of it soon but she still loves to watch the DVD. I know that Bow will love it too when he is older so I am sure Bing will be in our lives for several years. Bing is a lovable, preschool rabbit and the programme follows his adventures. A new DVD, Bing: Surprise Machine And Other Episodes, has been released today and to celebrate I have 3 copies of the [click here to read on]

You Get What You Pay For

As we live in a rented property I have to be creative when it comes to making the place our own. When Bob was younger I painted a scene on her bedroom wall but now that isn’t possible. She now has a beautiful princess room but instead of painting I used a Disney Princess scene setter and some wall stickers. Bow has a jungle themed nursery with some fab accessories but his wall stickers aren’t that great. Wall stickers can [click here to read on]
