Sebastian was a little Houdini when he was a baby, he was the master at getting his hands free. Try as you might no matter how tight you swaddled him, he could figure a way out. Then wake up. He didn't really want his hands free, he just didn't want them where I swaddled them. He wanted the freedom to move, not be swaddled so tightly he felt like an over stuffed sausage. So, a few weeks ago when I was contacted by the lovely Kim from Snugbags about reviewing a Snugpod Zip Up … [Read more...]
DIY Pillowcase Wall Art
When putting Sebastian's NEW Transport Inspired Bedroom together something which I struggled to find that I absolutely loved was wall art.

The other three mornings we spend our time practicing the art of play - free play, independent … [Read more...]
REVIEW: Finish Quantum Max
I love getting in the kitchen - baking, making and creating. I also love having people over - wining and dining (although less of the earlier of late). What I do not love is the clean up afterwards! You know.. struggling to get the tea towel to the bottom of that champagne flute and get those last few drops? Or else shoving as much as can possibly fit into the dishwasher and hoping for the best, invariably something comes out half washed or a … [Read more...]
