Whether it was Barbies, Puppies in my Pocket, Pogs, Tazos, Polly Pockets or My Little Ponies, little girls have been collecting adorable little trinkets, animals and dolls for years. Now is the time of the Num Noms… but what exactly are they? I must admit before Penny and I were…
What do they say? Never work with children or animals? Although I love it when I get a blogging opportunity that includes Penny, it without a doubt makes putting the actual post together ten times harder! If she doesn’t like the toy, you can read it all across her face and…
With only four weeks to go until my baby girl’s due date, I was so happy and relieved when my Baby Box was finally delivered to our new address just a few days ago. In Scotland, every newborn baby due on or after 15 August 2017 is entitled to a free baby box from…
With only six weeks to go, not only am I on a mission to get the baby’s nursery decorated but I have already started to pack my hospital bag to make completely sure that I am prepared for our little princess’ arrival. Being organised really helps alleviate some of my anxiety,…
Penny’s 2nd birthday was last weekend *sob*. It seems like only yesterday she was a tiny little newborn lying on my tummy in the hospital. Now she’s two and becoming a big sister. We had a BBQ for her in the garden with a few of her friends and in typical fashion, little…
When any brand chooses to work with me and my little blog it makes me incredibly happy. My absolute favourite opportunities are the ones that include Penny too, even if it makes the whole process that bit more difficult! She’s not the most patient of models and, let’s face it if…
As we head into week 30 of my pregnancy, preparation for baby number two is well underway. We moved house just last weekend and now have an extra bedroom and tons more space to decorate, plan and prepare for our little girl’s arrival. The baby box is full of new supplies, a…
On Friday, we took a trip to Dundee and found ourselves at the Butterfly Cafe (28-32 Commercial Street). Butterfly Cafe prides itself on being a colourful, fun and interactive cafe that allows children and babies to eat, learn and play in a safe and happy environment. Not only is the…
The last few weekends have been lovely and Penny and I have made full use of all the glorious sunshine. As we gear up to summer, let’s talk children’s clothing, toys and sun protection with Nivea, La Coqueta & Little Tikes… Using the right sun protection is incredibly important. Penny and…
Last week I had my 20-week scan and honestly, I could have stared at that little blurry screen for hours. I had a trainee sonographer so the process took a little longer which I took great enjoyment in. I can’t believe that I’m already halfway there. That little misshapen blob that I…
When the lovely team over at Little Tikes UK contacted me to write a post highlighting the importance of outdoor play as well as promote their fantastic range of interactive outdoor toys, I jumped at the chance! My little girl, Penny (nearly 2), loves to explore outside and, as a creche worker,…
If you’ve read my previous post you probably already know that things have been really difficult and stressful lately. I am definitely in need of some relaxation and a good old pamper session. So you can imagine how loudly I squealed with delight when I found out I had won a giveaway…
Penny is now 16 months and the countdown until those little jelly legs actually start walking is definitely on. To be honest, I can’t believe how much mischief she can already get herself into. Even though our living room floor is littered with every toy, musical instrument and teether in existence, she’d…
This has been the quickest and most wonderful year of your Mama’s life. It feels like you have always been a part of my world but, at the same time, it feels like I was just holding you for the very first time yesterday. I spent my Saturday night wrapping your…
Penny is already 9 months old, she has two teeth, is starting to pull herself up and is eating every piece of fruit and veg I put in front of her – where has my tiny newborn baby gone?! My maternity leave is now officially over and getting Pen into a…
