Babies : Mumschool
I felt like a right fraud the other morning. There I was turning up to a blogger/press briefing for Nurofen, Bonjela and Karvol’s new website, Mumschool, with Little Mister – the poster child for perfect management of teething, colds and post-immunisation fever. So what was I doing there? I’m still not entirely sure but I’m glad I went. More...

Babies : Highchairs
To highchair or not to high chair, that is the question. Or at least one of the many that I'm pondering right now. We don't have one.

Let’s hope it’s the latter – I don’t get enough sleep as it is! More...
