Staying Safe This Summer With Milton

When the weather gets nicer it means spending more time outdoors as a family and getting out and about for some fun. The problem with this though is that you still want things to stay clean and sanitised where possible. You may have heard of Milton because they’re really well known for products to sterilise baby bottles and soothers. What you may not know is that they also do a range of products focusing on hygiene. Erin’s favourite thing to do right now is to play in the garden. We have quite a few toys

Messy Me Messy Mat

Now that Erin is over a year old he has started to change how she plays and how she eats. There have been many days where Jackson has got a decent meal because Erin has flung her food on the wooden floor in the dining room.

Orange and Cranberry Christmas Cakes For Children

AD | Paid collaboration Christmas is only a couple of weeks away and this year, we’re having my family to stay for the first time and we’ll have a house full from 23rd to 27th December. I’ve really begun to think about what kind of food I’ll be serving over the week and obviously, I have to keep Erin in mind for this as well. I’m not a big fan of a traditional Christmas cake or Christmas pudding and Erin won’t be eating these either. Something I always pair with Christmas is orange and cranberry
