As Alexander has suddenly outgrown his crib, it's time for the big cot and as with Oliver we bought a Cot bed, this time a Lucia Cot/ Toddler bed from Mamas & Papas which we love. Mamas and Papas kindly sent us their Sleepfresh Natural Mattress, Size 400 Cot/Bed (£185) which fits the cot, for review.

I promise to bring you the best of fashion finds as I source them, be it from PR samples to good old retail therapy. I can hear my husband heavy breathing as I type, but it's my duty to you fashionistas, right! Hehe!
It's May and it's raining...again. Like many parents out there, we find it a struggle to keep the kids entertained when the weather's cold and blustery outside. Not another soft play I hear you cry. I'm with you on that, there's only so many slides and ball pits I can cushion my tush on. Ouch.
My gorgeous and oh so glam-'can you believe she's 50' Aunty Zak flew in from Marbella where she and her husband Chris live, to celebrate her 50th in Leeds with all her closest family and friends. And boy was it a Big Glam Greek 50th!
A day out at Diggerland- not my usual idea of a fun weekend I'll be honest with you...I love getting outside with the kids though, to parks, farms, country walks and weekends away on the coast but not usually driving diggers. How wrong could I be? I probably had more fun than my 3 year old.
As well as being a blogger and founder of this here blog, I'm also an award-winning filmmaker and mother of two. I'm honoured to be taking part in the Mamas & Papas' Urbo campaign alongside Edith Bowman, Charlie Condou and Cherry Healy, giving an account of life as a working parent and my views on celebrating modern parenting.
Hot on the yummy mummy Jimmy Choo heels (make that Uggs) of Skills Babies Give You-They're Good Like That comes unsolicited toddler skills you acquire the minute those babies turn into freaking, speaking, tantrumming toddler children. Oh joy!
We were kindly sent these personalised champagne flutes from GiftsOnline4U and for those who follow this blog, you'll know champagne is my drink of choice! Clink, clink.
Whiles I attended the Mamas & Papas Awards last night, Peter held the fort with the boys. When baby Alexander was sleeping, just before bedtime, Oliver 'cooked' Daddy dinner.
A few weeks ago, we spent a truly delightful day out at Hesketh Farm Park near Bolton Abbey in Yorkshire. We stroked and fed the farm animals, Oliver raced around on an indoor tractor, Mummy and child played on the swings (my favourite bit) and we had hours of fun in the outdoor sandpit.
The last few days have been super sunny in the UK and it's made us all feel fabulously happy again! There's nothing like warm walks in the park and eating al fresco to brighten up the day.
