Over the weekend my Mum threw me a Baby Shower (or rather a Baby Sprinkle) to celebrate the up and coming arrival of Lil Gooseberry. My Mum planned the whole thing around a Buzzy Bee theme be(e)cause, as you know we have decided to hold off from finding out what we are having until the day our little one decides to make an appearance. Naturally, one of the afternoons activities or games we played was Guess the - sex, weight and arrival date. It was … [Read more...]
4 in 1 Nursing Pillow
If you are anything like me, once you find out you are expecting that precious bundle (a baby, for those who are wondering) your mind goes into overdrive.

REVIEW: Funky Giraffe Bandana Bibs
Bibs - something every mum knows a thing or two or twenty about. Before becoming a Mum I knew bibs were important, they were on my must have list after all.

We used bibs pretty much right from the get go with Sebastian, he was quite a spilly baby and then a very dribbly one as he moved on to teething, so … [Read more...]
