My New Business and New Fluff

I have been bit lazy and not written much about cloth nappies so here goes...

First of all I have opened my own online store selling cloth nappies called Babysaurus and already doing fairly well. I've only got two brands currently up on the site but both of them are very much ones I trust in and can't wait to expand my store.

Today I got handed a big box by my mail man, which confused me at first but I knew I had been buying a few things online recently so figured it must be for me. Sure enough it had my name on it and then I saw the company's name on the box.

I instantly knew what was inside. My brand new Little Lamb Bamboo Nappy and Violet Baby Scents Magic Laundry Liquid! I've just pre-washed the nappy now but to give you an insight of what this nappy looks like here's a photograph of it, please ignore the crayon on our coffee table as Petit Boy has learnt you can colour ANYTHING and not just paper.

I have yet to give it a go but shall be putting it on to Petit Boy tomorrow morning with the Smart Fit wrap on. I've bought a Little Lamb wrap and two of their Microfibre nappies so they will be here in the next few days. I'm also waiting for two Itti Bitti D'lish nappies which are pre-loved and hope to have them up on Babysaurus in a few days time in the Pre-loved section.

If you have any pre-loved nappies you want rid of please contact me!

Holidays In The UK

It's always nice to get away with the family, perhaps to the countryside or maybe a weekend at the beach. It's great but have you considered having a holiday here in the UK? There's loads of beautiful holiday cottages all over the UK that are perfect for the family!

 A Beautiful Holiday Cottage

But where are these lovely cottages I speak of? Well all over the joint. Some lovely holiday cottages can be found near Scarborough and Whitby (see photograph) which are brilliant places to go with the kids as you can enjoy from the history behind the novel Dracula to the famous Scarborough Fair. For me I spent a lot of my holidays down in Cornwall to enjoy the sea, the walks and wonderful sights. Penzance as a fair few lovely holiday cottages where there's loads of fishermen and artists, great for young children. And there's of course Land's End, I believe I still have a photograph of myself with my parents there at the sign post which they can add your home town or village and how far away it is from Land's End. Perhaps one day I will get round to going back down there with Petit Boy, how far is Birmingham from Land's End I wonder?

There's lots of secret little gems out there that won't break the budget and some will accommodate large families so why not bring the Grandparents along as well? I'd suggest checking out Skyes Cottages where you can filter what you are looking for by area, your needs and dates.

Have you ever been to a holiday cottage in the UK? Would you ever consider one in the future?

Disclosure: I was paid for this article, however all of this is my own opinion.

Trendy Toddler Tuesday - Fluffy Bums

I've been very lazy and not having photographs sorted for Trendy Toddler Tuesday. This is partly my fault but also Petit Boy has not been very photogenic lately and tends to get moody or just runs away from the camera so end up with loads of blurry photographs that I instantly delete. But I decided to show off our cloth nappies!

This week my son is modelling the Itti Bitti Tutto in bright yellow, very soft minkee fabric and isn't as bulky as some of our cloth nappies.

You can find brand new Itti Bitti Tutto cloth nappies on Fill Your Pants for £17.50. It's the high end of the cloth nappy scale and it's the only Itti Bitti we own as they are just not in our price range. I like how we can change the inserts to suit our needs, but now he's older we need more inserts and I haven't really had the funds to buy more.
