Are Micro Scooters Worth The Money?
There are loads of kids scooters available — some cheap, some very expensive. But are Micro Scooters worth the money? Here’s what we think…
My Twins Development
This blog has been such a godsend for charting my twins development! When my boys were born at 36 weeks, they were just 5lb 2 and 5lb 7 respectively. I couldn’t believe how tiny and helpless they were. They almost looked like baby birds!
Amazing how quickly children grow and change though.
These posts outline my twins development; through the baby years, to toddlerhood. Navigating nursery then school.
Inspiring Young Readers with Julia Donaldson Books
When our boys were born the house went from magazine-worthy to mega-mess almost overnight. Our wonky little cottage — that seemed roomy for two grown adults — felt like a bit of a squash. The kitchen went from clear to cluttered, just hours after bringing them home. It’s single meagre work surface housed an extra kettle, bottle …

Back to School {Featuring Start-Rite} | AD
Unbelievable to think that the boys will be back to school again next week. Our hotly anticipated lazy, six-week holiday has been gobbled up, Gone in a merry-go-round of festivals, camping trips, days out and sports camp. It feels as though it’s ending just as soon as it began. I don’t want it to be …
Room For a Little One Campaign with Silentnight
Disclosure: This is an unpaid collaboration. I was given two sets of children’s bedding for the Room For a Little One Campaign with Silentnight. Now, the boys’ room hasn’t really changed a great deal since they were born. I shared a little nursery tour last year. And apart from a couple of new bits and …
Me and Mine August 2014 | Scenes from Shambala Festival
This month’s ‘Me and Mine photos will certainly be some of the most memorable in years to come. This August — having been to SO many festivals as a couple — we took our children to Shambala Festival for the very first time. Many would balk at the idea of taking two tiny people to a 4 day festival but this is …
Bertie’s Egg Allergy (& The Egg Allergy Test)
After ‘Bertie’s Egg Allergy‘ episode happened, we had been quickly referred for an appointment at Birmingham City Hospital. For Bertie’s immunology testing. Odd — seeing as Leicester (which is closer) has a reportedly amazing immunology department . But hey, we dance to the beat of the NHS drum. So we went along with it and …
34 weeks and 2 days | An allergic reaction to egg.
What a crazy week. Health visitors, new routines and Bertie having an allergic reaction to egg. Wednesday started off brilliantly. The health visitor came for a home visit — the first since The Twinkles were four months old — and I was so excited to find out how much they both weighed. Historically, there has …
28 Weeks and 1 Day | Baby Milestones and Teething
Well, things have moved on a little, since the last time I wrote. Today I can record more baby milestones in the life of my twins. Exciting things to note; but also — teething. It had to happen, didn’t it? Baby Milestones Bertie has rolled over all by himself. It’s taken him a couple of …
26 weeks and 5 days | The Twinkles are 6 months old!
I cannot believe how quickly time seems to be going. It’s as though someone has pressed the fast forward button on my life and everything is double the speed. The Twinkles are 6 months old! It certainly doesn’t feel like half a year has passed since they were born. The days have gone by in …
25 weeks old today | 6 month routine
My beautiful Twinkles — where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday that we were being taken down to the delivery suite, to welcome you to the world and now you are very nearly half a year old and we’re trying a new 6 month routine. I can’t believe half a year has almost …
19 Weeks and 6 Days | 4 Month Milestones
The twins are nearly 20 weeks old and growing so fast! I thought I’d share our 4 month milestones.
Our 4 Month Old Schedule
So. I tried the new sleep routine for the twins. As predicted, the boys are really not keen on sleeping from 3pm until 5pm in the afternoon. This part of the schedule is an epic fail. I tried the new routine for a couple of days, but on each day either one — or both — twins woke …
15 Weeks and 6 Days | Routine For a 3 Month Old
Since we’ve had the twins in a really good newborn routine; as a result — they’ve been such good babies. They have been feeding every 3 hours; but, as a lot of the books — and the info online — suggest that a routine for a 15 week old baby should be 4 hours; I’ve …
15 Weeks and 5 Days | 15 Week Old Milestones
OHMYGOD!! I can’t believe that another 4 weeks has passed, since the last time I wrote. I’ve totally not been keeping up to date with my diary and the twins are growing so fast now. I thought I’d make a note of their 15 week old milestones, so I don’t forget this time! 15 Week …
10 Weeks and 6 Days | Our Newborn Eating Schedule
Time has absolutely flown… tomorrow my boys will be 11 weeks old! I can’t believe how much they’ve grown and how things are changing, literally, day by day. I’m so grateful to the midwife who stressed the importance of a routine. It’s been so useful, I thought I’d share our newborn eating schedule and sleep routine …

Twin Pregnancy — 28 Weeks Pregnant With Twins
I’m now 28 weeks pregnant with twins! And yesterday we had the 28 week scan. Such a great day. Such a milestone as it now means that these precious babies have a 90% chance of survival, if they were born! I was holding my breath when the sonographer started the scan… as I haven’t felt the …
Twin Pregnancy Diary — 27 Weeks Pregnant with Twins
Where, oh where has the time gone??? I’m 27 weeks pregnant with twins; and my babies are officially ‘viable’!! Wooo-hoooo!!! I have been desperate to get to the point of viability. The doctors use that term as though it were some magic charm. And I suppose it is. It means that if the twins were …
