Much to my disgust, I often catch my husband using my expensive facial scrub and $160 a bottle cosmeceutical moisturiser, it is most definitely not the best choice for his skin but he never has got a...
I honestly think that toys of all kinds are super important for children and although I often take a lot of time deciding what toys he should have, impulse buys also have a place in our home. Some of...
We’ve had the opportunity over the past year to try out Zhu Zhu Pets a couple of times, Dexter has always liked them but has never really been able to ‘get’ them, playing with them for a very short t...
I love books, as a child I was a bookworm and that hasn’t changed at all, only these days I no longer have shelves and instead cram a library worth of books onto my tablet. We started buying books fo...

One of the things I really love about using cloth nappies is how utterly adorable they look. Gorgeous prints and colours, soft fabrics and cute designs, they really are underwear that is cute enough ...
Australian company Playgro has been one of our favoured brands over the past two years, especially when Dexter was younger. I love fun, functional toys that have a developmental or educational purpos...
I have ruined more than one drink bottle by forgetting that I’ve popped it in the freezer. I like my water cold, on the verge of icing up and am forever opening the freezer to find one of my favourit...

Dexter is a seasoned traveller now, we visit Melbourne a couple of times a year to see my in-laws, have visited Adelaide to see family and have plans to go overseas again this year. Whenever we fly a...
My mum is super allergic to just about everything and constantly suffers from rashes. Because of her allergies it’s hard to find a cream or oil that works for her instead of just making everything wo...

Bambooty was our main nappy when Dexter was new, we had the Easy Peasys and they are probably the best introduction to cloth a disposable user can have. They are super easy to use, shaped just like a...
I take a lot of time and care when thinking about buying toys for Dexter, I want to avoid toxic chemicals where I can so I tend to avoid plastics. He’s a boy so don’t get me wrong, he has his fair sh...

I am lucky enough that I get to see, trial and review all sorts of awesome products. Dexter is super lucky and while there are fantastic products out there for boys, I have to admit that when I see w...
I’ve said before, my reason for using cloth nappies on Dexter did not come out of a desire to be green or eco-friendly, for me the push to use cloth and eco alternatives came because of possible link...
I love Scandinavian designs, they’re always a fun mix of stylish elegance and funky prints and colours. We have many Scandinavian designed accent pieces in our home and I’m always looking out for fun...
Last week I had the absolutely pleasure of designing and ordering something I’ve been eyeing off since before we’d even decided on a name for our little man – a personalised Mylight for Dexter’s room...
We’ve had some (ok total) regression in our toilet training, we never really got the wees down despite having him fully TT for #2s. I think that he physically still isn’t quite there despite showing ...
