Parenting: SmarTrike 5 in 1 Infinity Review

As Mia was turning 2 years old this month, I thought it would be a good idea to get her a SmarTrike*(£99.00). We opted for the purple one as it is not too girly (I try to avoid pink) and I could possibly use it with a boy in the future. But let's talk about the fun stuff!

Mia's Frugi Christmas Outfit + Competition

As you might know, we've been part of the Frugi Family since Mia was a little baby and this month we received a surprise Christmas outfit in the post and I must admit - I couldn't have picked a better one myself! It is simply stunning and it suits Mia so well.

Buggy Board Maxi Plus Review

Oh, do I wish I had this amazing invention in my life sooner! The Lascal Buggy Board Maxi Plus*(£99.00) from Cheeky Rascals is everything I hoped for and we have been using it for the past few weeks on longer walks to give Zac a little break, when his legs get sore or when I am in a rush and he just can't keep up with me. 

Piccolo Organic Baby Food.

When it comes to baby food, I make most of it myself, from scratch. BLW or purees, I prefer to know what goes into it and avoid anything with preservatives, added sugars or artificial sweeteners. I do buy organic  food pouches occasionally, as Mia loves them and our new favourites are by Piccolo, an awesome brand we discovered recently.

Cosatto Hug Isofix Daisy Dot Car Seat with 5 Point Plus Anti-Escape System

There comes a time in your baby's life, when they are not so little anymore and they start growing out of their cot, pram and car seat. We have used a Doona for the past 14 months and as amazing as it was, it has to be put away for the next baby and Mia recently got an upgrade to a big girl seat. She was soooo excited during her first front facing ride! We opted for the Cosatto Hug Isofix Daisy Dot Car Seat*(£280.00) with 5 Point Plus Anti-Escape System and we absolutely love it!

BABY: Frugi A/W Reversible Dress

Can we just take a moment to discuss how hard it is to take photos of toddlers? Gone are the days, when Mia was happily posing for photos, lying down on a blanket, giggling and smiling. She is now a little tornado, so getting a photo of her in focus is practically impossible. I tried my best though :) Mia is wearing one of the new A/W pieces from Frugi and we absolutely love it!

Mia's Cute Frugi Outfit

I  almost forgot about this cute little outfit we were kindly sent as a thank you for being guest bloggers on Frugi's blog (read our post about healthy snacks for kids here). How adorable does Mia look in pink and blue? I am in love! All these items are actually on sale right now, just in case you want to treat your little one to some beautiful organic cotton pieces.

Mia is wearing the Little Lola Dress in a lovely pink colour, with white stripes, a beautiful pony applique on the front and a bow at the top. The elasticated neckline makes it super easy to put on/take off which is ideal when you're dealing with a crazy little munchkin like Mia :) PS.She's wearing size 12-18 months right now.

 To go with the dress and cardi, we picked the Little Norah Tights in a turquoise colour with white polka dots and a pop of pink on the toes and heels. Soo, sooo pretty!

The Happy Day Cardigan is made with the softest organic cotton and the quality is outstanding! We've washed it many times already and it still looks brand new! It is perfect for the transitional period between Summer and Autumn and adds a gorgeous pop of colour to any outfit. We love it!

 Just look at that cheeky little face and her cute teeth! Oh, I love her sooo, sooo much, even when she's being a diva, haha :)

 Pulling more silly faces. My little ray of sunshine! She makes me laugh 24/7!

If you've never ordered from Frugi before, make sure to check out their sale here to see for yourself how well made and beautiful their clothes are. We can't recommend their lovely products enough!

Mia's Big Girl Cot (Little Green Sheep Mattress & Mattress Protector Review)

When Mia grew out of her Snuzpod (insert sad face), I decided to get her a new cot bed as the mattress in the travel cot I used for Zachary had to be replaced anyway. I opted for the simple Ikea Gulliver Cot, as you can convert it to a toddler bed easily and I liked the white wood. 

Mamas & Papas Zoom Travel System Review

A good travel system is essential when you have a baby and I was hoping to use Zachary's one for Mia, but it got damaged when our garage roof started leaking. As I left all baby purchases till last minute, we ended up with no travel system for Mia when she arrived 5 weeks early. We eventually got the Doona to get out and about, but for proper outings, we opted for the Mamas & Papas Zoom Travel System*.

Breastfeeding Stories: Marissa & Iver

As promised, I am continuing the 'breastfeeding cafe' I hosted with Medela with a series of breastfeeding stories from other mums, as I thought it would be a good idea to share some boobie love on the blog regularly. Today, Marissa (who is a lovely mum I chat to on instagram) is sharing her breastfeeding story with her little boy Iver. 

Whisbear The Humming Bear Review

I have lots of baby related reviews planned for June, including todays blog post dedicated to Mia's cuddly friend Whisbear The Humming Bear*. We've had it for a couple of months now, so it's been very well tested and I must admit, I am a big fan.

Wuti Wrap Review

I already reviewed one of the We Made Me baby carries here, but today I want to tell you all about the Wuti Wrap*(£49.99), which is possibly my favourite out of the three I have been testing.

BABY: Zoocchini Hooded Towels

 Who doesn't love a cute hooded towel, right? I personally adore them and I have a couple for bot Zac and Mia. They are most useful for babies, but bigger kids love them too, especially when they are as awesome as the Zoocchini designs.

#TheBigBreastfeedingCafe 2016 With Medela

 If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that yesterday was the day of The Big Breastfeeding Cafe hosted by lots of breastfeeding mums across the UK with Medela. As an ambassador of the brand, I obviously took part to celebrate the beauty and importance of breastfeeding.

Frugi Swimwear

With Summer just around the corner, sorting out protective swimwear for the kids was one of my priorities. That's where Frugi came to the rescue. With a big selection of swimsuits for babies, toddlers and bigger kids, they will keep your precious ones safe from the sun and looking stylish too.

Little Darlings Afternoon Tea at Blythswood Square Hotel Glasgow

On Easter Monday, my family headed to the beautiful Blythswood Square Hotel in Glasgow for Afternoon Tea and we had an amazing time. Zachary and Mia shared the Little Darlings Afternoon tea as well, which was simply adorable. Not gonna lie - Mia was the one not being able to keep her hands off the food.

Frugi Bedding Review #frugifamily

The kids bedroom is my favourite room in the full house, as it is all white with pops of colour. The Sunny Days Bedding Set*(£59.00) from Frugi's gorgeous new SS16 collection goes perfectly with this theme and I absolutely love the way it looks. Most importantly, Zachary adores it too.

WIN A MEDELA ELECTRIC BREASTPUMP

I have a very exciting giveaway for you! You might know that I am a 'Medela Mum' and I have been working with them for the past few months, talking about my breastfeeding journey and today I am giving you a chance to win a Medela Swing Maxi Electric Breast Pump. Yay!

Lego Movie Challenge & Brick Flicks at St.Enoch Centre

When The St. Enoch Centre contacted me and asked, if me and Zachary would like to take part in their Lego Movie Challenge, I was delighted! And you should have seen Zachary's face when I told him about it and... when the Lego arrived! Oh my... it was one of the best surprises (if not the best one) ever! My heart melted.

Mia meets Chewy

I have loads of teething toys for Mia, but our newest family member is possibly the best one yet. His name is Chewy* and he is a cute little hippo. Adorable! We received him last week and he's been with Mia every day. She loves him!
