I've covered the capsule wardrobe so it's time for those special little additions; the things that catch your eye that you ( read, ' your little one' ) just have to have. Accessories, sleepwear, occasionwear. There are always those extras that you will want or need to purchase and they...

I'm in need of a beauty boost. A beauty 'spring clean'. It's been a miserable, long, grey winter (apart from my fabulous two weeks in Mauritius!) and I'm a year older and definitely feeling it. Staying at home looking after Alexander is taking its toll on my looks at least...

'All change please!'. A phrase that once I was accustomed to hearing at Tube stations in a previous life in the City. Now, it means many different things but most relevant to today is the need for a totally new wardrobe for a toddler. They don't need excuses ' it's...

This is an unusual post for me. It takes me back to my former life of investments and numbers! It caught my eye and my heart when I...

Here I am. Back in London. Sitting on my bed. Grey outside. Very, very cold. Unseasonably cold. You know when you look forward to your holiday and when you are there you never think it's going to end...

Two weeks in paradise is officially over. I'm writing this post in two parts because I want to tell you all about an amazing family-friendly destination and the two brilliant places that we stayed. We went to Mauritius...

Now I'm a bit late to the table (forgive the pun!) with this one as toddler PCG is just that-a toddler. That said, this is something that is an absolute must and something that I fell in love with the...

I remember Tommee Tippee. Generations of Tommee Tippee. We all wore the bibs when we were babies and the fact that my son wears one today says a lot for a product. To survive this long in the...

It's reached that time where, the car seat that we brought our precious 4lb 4oz baby home from the hospital in, the one that he was swimming in, has become too small. He's over 14 months old already. Quite a petite baby, or at least not a 'big' baby so...

It took me a long time to accept the fact that activities with your baby keeps both mummy and baby sane. Gives you a reason to change out of your pyjamas every so often. It took me even longer...

Well, we are off to the cinema tonight. It's a double whammy of unusual events; us 'going out' and us going to the cinema. The last film we saw was over two years ago when we took our niece and nephew to see the Smurfs in 3D (oh joy) and...

Seeing as I am in the throes of something much bigger at the moment, this is going to be short and sweet. A bit like me - yeeuch! Does Valentine's Day really exist once you hit 40? Once you have been married for 12 years? Once you have children? Now,...

Chinese medicine has been used for many decades to treat every sort of ailment and disease and it has been a long time coming in taking off in the UK but now every High Street worth its salt has...

The other week I was (kindly) invited to a debate. I put the 'kindly' in brackets because it was courtesy of a site that is aimed at people just slightly older than I am at forty! The website High50...

Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited along to the UK launch of Mothercare's long-awaited app and what a pleasure it was - hosted by the too-yummy-for-mummy Myleene Klass at the swanky Charlotte Street Hotel.  I would...

Now as some of you may know, Alexander turned one recently. Being a boy, he's decided to do a lot of cruising and a lot of crawling but not so much of the walking (yet)! I'm not moaning...

I'm on a bit of a health drive at the moment. Badly timed I know but nevertheless, much-needed. So, it was my good fortune that a box of tea landed on my doorstep yesterday courtesy of

Well it's been a long and busy month and we are only two weeks in! I've shortened my life by at least five years with the stress but it was definitely worth it, I think!...

Although I gave you a sneak peek on Sunday, being 'Silent Sunday' meant that I couldn't really explain. Well it's Talkative Tuesday today so I'm full of words ( I can feel a sarcastic, jokey comment coming from Mr Pregnantcitygirl there...
