I decided it was about time Little Miss E had some skirts, and this baby skirt was so easy to make and only required one fat quarter of material. As with pretty much all of my sewing projects I took to my pinterest board for inspiration. There I came across this amazing tutorial. Here is how I got on. (At this point it is a good idea to press seams open.) For more great sewing ideas why not follow me on pinterest and don't forget to check out my page here? ...
Lost
"I'll just feed her." "There's poo on the bag, bird poo, look." "Oh man." We scramble for the wet wipes and try to placate your hungry, shouting sister. Pointless really. She shouts louder. "Where's the boy?" Those words. So simple. So terrifying. We look around us. Children are playing. Parents are chatting. You're not there. "WILLIAM." Children shout. They laugh. It's just noise. It may as well be silence. "WILLIAM." Your Dad starts running. I throw your sister in the pram and do the same. Children everywhere. "WILLIAM." You still ...

WIN a FlatBox-LunchBox from The Nicest Stuff
We were recently sent the FlatBox LunchBox to try out from The Nicest Stuff. Now, as my regular readers will know, I can be massively a little OCD sometimes about cleanliness, especially when it comes to food hygiene. My poor son now has a fear of finger-painting purely due to my obsessive hand-wiping in the weaning days. So, when this arrived I was more than a little delighted. This is no ordinary lunchbox. Is there anything worse than taking out your lovingly prepared lunch, only to have to try and avoid any of it touching the dirty, sticky ...

Guest Post: Top Tips for Creating a Perfect Easter Basket For Little Boys
With the Easter holidays on the horizon, your mind will undoubtedly be thinking about what you can do to keep the youngsters entertained. After all, a fortnight away from school when they’re used to classes five days a week can be a pretty hard slog if you don’t have anything planned in advance. While some of you will be working and the kids will be enjoying themselves in a local play scheme, others will have the good fortune of spending the time at home with the children and the more activities you have planned, the more fun the time will be! Luckily, it’s Easter, which means you have the ...
Growing Up Fast: A Guide to Buying Secondhand for Your Baby

It’s very easy to overspend on babies, who quickly grow out of clothes and toys, so this article is here to help new parents buy secondhand for their children. This is an ideal age to be saving money as babies aren’t going to worry about the latest fashions and trends, so take a look at our advice and test it out by having ...

If you did not get a chance to read them, please do. They will not disappoint. The first is this adorable Easter craft from Sparkling Buds. So simple but super cute. Just how we like to craft in Casa B. Secondly, a really thoughtful post ...
Win An Awesome Dino Adventure Toy Set From WOW Toys
When WOW recently asked me if The Boy and I wished to review one of their toys I must confess that I had not heard of them before. After just two minutes browsing their website though I could not accept fast enough. The designs on show were super cute and their major focus is that none of their toys require any batteries. Yep, NO BATTERIES. If you have kids of your own I am sure you will understand the huge wave of relief those two simple words can create. Loving all-things-dinosaur at Casa B we could not resist the Dino-Adventure set and eagerly awaited it's arrival. However, upon ...
