I’d heard great things about Odds Farm so I thought where better to take baby Isla for her first birthday! We went in March so there were lots of baby animals there but much of the entertainment available in the summer wasn’t yet open (I’ve heard they have their own beach!). Odds Farm is located […]
When my husband and I decided that we would climb Mount Kilimanjaro followed by a short safari at the Ngorongoro Crater we quickly realised that this trip required considerably more planning and expertise than our usual overseas adventures. We wanted to book through a company who charged a reasonable price and who were local- so […]
Many people ask me how do I manage to travel lots now that I have a baby in tow, my answer is always ‘put the baby on your back and do what you normally do!’. Of course there are limitations to this, we avoid late nights because baby Isla gets overtired and we are not […]
Welcome to food baby girl! At 6 months old I was excited to introduce my baby butterfly to her first tastes of the world, little did I know, however, just how messy it could be! So when I was given the chance to review some of the Messy Me products I jumped at the chance! […]
So it seems it has become an annual occurrence that in preparation for the new year ahead I review all of my achievements from the past 12 months. It’s so easy to lose sight of the bigger picture and to forget just how much you have achieved in your life, whether this be travel, career […]
I’m always on the lookout for new backpacks and suitcases for my travels, especially right now as we will be taking considerably more luggage now that with have a baby in tow, making choosing the best backpack more important than ever! So when I was given the opportunity to review the Cabin Zero bag recently […]

BabyBjorn has recently launched a new version of its beloved classic bouncer, originally produced back in 1961, so when I was given the opportunity to review it I jumped at the […]
Last week I was contacted to ask if I would like to review the Pumpablles Milk Genie. It was as if they knew the dramas I had experienced when I left my only pump at home and had to rush to Argos before it closed to my a manual pump. It’s as if they knew […]
Today I am sat in my garden in my bikini enjoying the hot weather while baby Isla sleeps the heat off (33 degrees in London-whoop whoop, loving maternity leave right now!). It feels amazing to be wearing my bikini again, it feels great to have a few minutes to write while she sleeps, it feels […]
We have had BEAUTIFUL weather here in the UK the past couple of weeks and I have been making the most of my maternity leave by toping up the tan in the back garden. Sunbathing with a baby, however, does have its challenges! Fortunately I was recently sent the Bibetta picnic mat to review so […]
