Blog Love – Baby Baby gets lavished with affection this week.

I was hunting for inspiration this week, and received some fab nominations from a Twitter call out – one of which reminded me of a blog I had overlooked, being under the impression I had already issued some Blog Lovin’ towards her pages. But I hadn’t (*tsk*), so this weeks Blog Love is sent billowing [...]



And another one – Mamas & Papas Astro Cradle, which we were determined not to like.

So – frankly, I was rather glad it wasn’t me having to review this thing. I mean – a cradle which plays music and flashes? Honestly? Still, as always, we agreed to give it a proper go, and had it sent off to Intrepid Claire and baby LG to have a squizz at. Did she [...]

The Four, the Laundry, the Life… In which Green turns Pink.

When we finally decided that perhaps it was time for a room-shift, Pink was removed from the spare room (where her cot had been camping next to the spare bed for… erm… two years *blush*), and moved into the tiniest box room – previously Jolly’s. He, in turn, was moved to the delights of the [...]

Look who’s back! The return of Mustafa.

Thank you for all the concerned messages, mails and tweets regarding the loss of Mustafa, and some of the genius suggestions of places we had yet to look. Thankfully, just when we had finally given up all hope and were starting to compose begging mails to Maileg themselves for the supply of just-one-more even though [...]



Missing – One Mouse. (*Warning – emotional post alert*)

As you, dear reader, will know, a love affair started in this house around Christmas time. These charming little mice did bewitch all of our hearts, but for Pink the love was total. This is her on Christmas Day night, poorly and restless in Mummy & Daddy’s bed: And so the love began. Mimi and [...]
