Cosi bed sheet four months on
As you may have seen back in June we reviewed the Cosi bed sheet . The Cosi bed sheet is very popular in Switzerland and consists of a fitted sheet with an integrated top half of a sleep sac. It allows children to feel safe and secure but also have the freedom to move around. 4 months on and we are still loving it . Especially now Ava can crawl and climb.

The working parents guide, to raising happy and confident children :Review & giveaway
I have recently been sent a copy of Nadim Saad’s newest book The working parents guide, to raising happy and confident children. Now I’m not normally someone who reads parenting manuals but with my return to work fast approaching I thought this one may be useful. The normal problem I find with parenting books is that the author doesn’t seem to be like me. I always imagine them to have a million people to do different things for them, not actually parenting. So they don’t really have to tackle the same things that I do day-to-day . With this book it’s completely different I could tell straight away Nadim was talking from a…
