Babies on the Brain

Published on Monday 16th March 2009

I’m working on the The Baby Show at the moment... I do love the challenge of it all. Notoriously baby shows become a buggy heaven (or nightmare depending on how you look at it) and toddler’s dream with lots of toys from ELC making an appearance this year.

We’re hosting the expert area of the show providing free info and support, so we’ll be donning our heels and taking to the stage (the perfect excuse for a new pair of shoes, methinks).

As well as the baby show I love to know what’s going on the baby world… So here’s what’s caught my eye recently…

1. Avoid Crazy baby names - Paige Turner and Anette Curtain are a couple highlighted by The Baby Website Some poor sole is called Justin Case...oh, please think it through!

2. There’s a new health in pregnancy grant which starts for due dates after 6th April 2009.....spend it wisely.

3. If you have a sleep-avoiding baby and bags under your eyes you’ll like this Scottish Ladies approach.

4. Cuddle Dry of Dragon’s Den fame are expanding their fabulous product range.

5. The latest pregnant celebrity must-have for bumps and babes, Mamma Mio is just loooooovely. I love their new Supermama Kit – new mummies shouldn’t forget to pamper themselves.

I don’t know what prompted it, but there seems to be a lot of pregnant mums having babies in April.....was there a power cut? I’ve just been asked to book a feature weekend with Cupcake Mum (who has the best cupcakes I’ve ever tasted) where we’ll be hosting a luxury antenatal course in...

New Year, New You...

Friday 9th January 2009

As I write I have my trainers on under my desk. I decided not to weigh myself until this morning and if I’m honest it wasn’t good news. So with the turn of the year came the promises, one of which was to start running. I used to run many years ago,...

Rain, Rain, (Don't) Go Away...

Wednesday 29th October 2008

With three little cherubs comes regular homework. It can range from being great fun (last week’s melting ice was good) to tears and tantrums (the previous week’s long division was traumatic for all concerned). This time around I was delighted to discover that we had to build a weather station rain catcher. I...

Let The Naming Begin...

Tuesday 2nd September 2008

It’s quite a change when the kids go back to school. The last few weeks are often the hardest - by this time, the little darlings are usually very ready for term time to start again. For us parents the end of holidays brings a mixed bag of emotions – quality family time...

Chillis, Westwood & An Italian Wedding...

Wednesday 13th August 2008

I have just returned from a wonderful wedding in Italy. It was quite a change from the Scottish weddings I am used to and one not to be forgotten. I must say the Italians do it in Style. The women look like they’ve walked off the cover of Vogue and the men......
