Playtime in Wood Wharf

| July 13, 2013

This week my wonderful friend Sonja and her beautiful daughter Keira spent the day with us in Wood Wharf London. The weather was stunning and we came prepared with picnic rugs, toys, balls, bubbles and food.

Sonja and I have known one another since we were both in the late stages of pregnancy when we met through our local antenatal classes run by the NCT. We still have a very close friendship with the girls in our NCT group and regularly meet up with our husbands, toddlers and new babies in tow.

I love the special friendship that has blossomed since birth between Imogen and Keira. They’re such good friends and always so excited to see one another and play!

Keira and Imogen wait patiently for the bubbles to be blown.

The bubbles float up into the air and they’re off to catch them …!

A little rough and tumble is lots of fun on the grass.

Then it’s time to play grab and run with the Elmer ball.

Sonja and I enjoy catching up in the sun while the girls giggle and run around and play. After a morning full of outdoor activity we share a picnic and Imogen feeds Keira raisins.

Fifteen minutes later Imogen is fast asleep in her buggy on the walk home!

Clarks Mara Sand GTX Boots

| December 10, 2012

For over a month I’ve been wearing a pair of Clarks Mara Sand GTX Boots. These gorgeous black leather Gore-tex boots were kindly sent to me by Clarks to review.

As a busy Mum I’m out and about daily with my baby so footwear has to look great, be practical and most importantly offer comfort.

Despite the weather I love walking and enjoying the great outdoors. For exercise and pleasure I walk everywhere in London with my baby in her buggy or toddling alongside me. For several hours each day we pound the pavements and run around the many parks and green spaces.

Clarks Mara Sand GTX Boots are styled on the classic long-leg riding boot. There’s subtle stitching on the boots and a simple buckle strap that can be adjusted at the top of the boots. The leather is soft and has a great shine.

One of the best features of the Clarks Mara Sand GTX Boots is that they’re 100% waterproof and breathable. Made with a Gore-tex membrane they prevent moisture from penetrating whilst letting perspiration out, allowing my feet to breathe and preventing them from overheating.

I’ve found this combination creates the perfect environment for maximum comfort and the right temperature whether I’m walking in a busy shopping mall or outdoors.

Clarks Mara Sand GTX Boots look great with trousers or skirts and can be dressed up or down making them extremely wearable for all occasions. They’re smart, stylish and incredibly comfortable.

Regardless of rain or snow this winter my feet will be kept dry and I’ll be enjoying all the elements. You can find out more about the technology used with Clarks Gore-tex waterproof shoes and boots.

The Best Baby Changing Bag

| March 16, 2012

A changing bag is an absolute necessity when you have a baby.

Being able to easily carry nappies, wipes, nappy bags, bottles, formula, food, a change of clothes, hand sanitiser, pram blanket, a coat or cardigan in case the weather changes, sun hat, baby shoes…

I also use our changing bag to carry essentials for myself such as keys, phone, purse and lip gloss.

If you’re looking for the best baby changing bag, that’s functional and stylish you will find it with a Babymel Changing Bag.

BabyMel Big Slouchy Changing Bag

One of the best things about the Babymel Changing Bag is its unique and patent pending strollerstrap design which allows you to attach the changing bag to your pram or pushchair or buggy without it coming undone or slipping down the frame of the pram.

Babymel Changing Bags come with a matching changing mat which fits neatly in one of the interior pockets of the changing bag. There’s also an insulated bottle bag for keeping a bottle warm in winter or cool in summer, with interior or exterior pockets for carrying your baby’s bottles in.

I can’t go anywhere without my Babymel Changing Bag!
