The Gro Company sent me one of their fabulous Grobags to review it. It is quite an easy task: I know and use their products since Bobcat was born (I mean, Bobcat uses them), and I am very pleased with them. I picked this cute nautical design wich goes well with Bobcat’s room decor: True Blue Stripes 18-36m 2.5 Tog Grobag This …
#CheckYourChaps Male Cancer Awareness Month
In collaboration with male cancer charity Orchid, I’d like to help their #CheckYourChaps campaign to raise awareness. As a wife and a daughter, I believe women should provide encouragement and support to the men in their lives to check themselves for the signs of testicular cancer. The charity have just completed surveying the British public, revealing that on average only 32% …
Fresh Spinach and Pear Salad With Feta Cheese And Pomegranate
I’m a big fan of salads combining fruits, vegetables and cheese. I could eat them every day. When you’re having guests and you want to prepare something different from the usual green salad, this could work very well as a good-looking, tasty and not your everyday starter dish. There’s not much work with it either, ready in 15 minutes. The …
Product Review: My Nametags Hello Kitty Stickers
I received the product directly from My Nametags as I often review products which are designed to make a mummy’s life easier. This definitely does. The colour stickers are made to label children’s clothing and any other items (bags, cups, toys, sports equipment etc.) you need to. You can tag their things they take to nursery, classes or school. You can even stick it on their toys, …
5 Reasons To Switch To Use Reusable Nappies
With Bobcat we use cloth diaper most of the time, I’d say 90% of the time. We only use disposable (bio-degradable) nappies during the night and when we’re out and about for a longer time (longer than half a day). The 2 main reasons we switched to reusable diapers are: they helped him with his eczema. Essentially, we reduced allergens getting in contact …
Pasta With Salmon And Broccoli In Cheese Sauce – Great Toddler Meal
I normally have this in the freezer all the time, for Bobcat and for the days when he’s extra picky and won’t eat anything substantial. Pasta can always come. So it’s a good idea to add as much healthy and nutritious ingredients to a pasta dish as you can. Very simple to prepare, a real comfort food for him. If …

Review: Tiffany Rose Maternity Dresses – Competition: Win A Tiffany Rose Dress
To start with: I’m a huge fan of Tiffany Rose, since I bought my wedding dress from them, when I was expectant with Bobcat. But there’s plenty of other reasons. I was lucky enough to be invited to their sample sale held in their workshop. Since I’m pregnant with my second child, the timing couldn’t be any more perfect. I …
Rich Lentil Soup – One Pot Super Meal
I love rich, hearty, almost stewy soups, without meat of course. I’m talking about the ones you could enjoy with a piece of crusty bread and some red wine on a cold day. This lentil soup is like that. Lots of vegetables, some hot chili and green spices. Lentil is a core vegetarian ingredient in my view. Rich in fibre, folate, iron …
8 Things To Change Instantly After Baby Eczema Diagnosis
When my son was diagnosed with eczema, I got really scared. It was mild, but we didn’t know (still don’t) what was the cause, so it was hard to figure it out how to control it. According to the National Eczema Association, it usually starts within the first 5 years of life. (It affects about 20% of children, in some …
