Do you doomoo?

I bought one of these lovely doomoo baby bean bag seats when I had my second son and we all loved it.

The seat is so adaptable - suitable from newborn to bigger children (up to 30kg). The top cover can be detached - which is handy for washing - and, unlike some beanbags, the seat is actually suitable for babies to sleep in. In fact, you get two top covers: one with a baby harness and one without. It's a really handy and stylish alternative to a bouncy chair and you can currently find one on Nappy Valley.

A Mummy and Me Portrait - a gorgeous gift for Mothers' Day

It's Mothers' Day on 3 April so I thought I'd highlight these Mummy & Me Portrait Sessions, which would make a perfect gift. I do appreciate that if you're reading this, you probably are the mummy, but in my experience it's best to sort out your own gift anyway. (I asked my 6-year-old if he was thinking of buying me a gift for Mothers' Day and he said no. But he was getting something for Grandma.)

The sessions include: session fee (the photographs will be taken in your home for your convenience), a private online gallery to view your photographs, and your favourite photograph in a 5 x 7" framed desk print. And if you're not ready to book just yet, you can also buy gift vouchers.

Any other nappy bag addicts out there?

I'm such a nappy-bag-aholic. I bought a good few when I had my first son and I've bought more with my second. Even so - and even though my boys are now too old for me to need a nappy bag - I'm still incredibly tempted by the amazing bags you can buy.

I think it's because they're such a great combination of practicality and smart looks.

The bag above is the OiOi Hobo Sack Changing Bag and I love the giraffe pattern. Find this bag and more at Nappy Valley.

Bikes, trikes and more at Nappy Valley

Yesterday the sun was shining and so we took our boys to the park. The older one wanted to go on his bike and so we retrieved it from the cupboard under the stairs, where it's been languishing for months. When the younger one saw it, he wanted to go on his bike too. But he's only two and hasn't got a bike yet. He wasn't impressed.

But then nor was the oldest when he realised that in all the time his bike's been shut away, he's completely outgrown it - unless he wants to hit himself in the face with his knees while riding.

Basically, we realised we need new bikes. Luckily there's a great selection of bikes, trikes and scooters on Nappy Valley. From wooden trikes to pink Barbie bikes, even a bike trailer for two. Perfect for enjoying the good weather!
