How does pregnancy affect your vision?
My pregnancy days are sadly a way behind me now – the last time I grew a small human bean was over 8 years ago now (how the heck can that be?). But you never forget how, do you? I bloody LOVED being pregnant. Even with all the awkward, uncomfortable downsides, I never ever grew tired of it, or was ready for it to end. But I do recall pregnancy as the time my body started falling apart on me. My hair got darker (and I loved being...

Are you pregnant? You might want to take a look at the new *free* Aptaclub app…

My womb laughed in the face of my plans, smugly sniggering at its secret knowledge that a human bean was already nestled inside and growing nicely. Of course – these were the days before the interwebs and the smart phones. In fact, these were the...
Review: bloom’s coco go Baby Seat/rocker

So when those clever chaps at bloom decided to create a new rocker, I was agog. And just LOOK what they came up with! *stands back to allow the beauty to...
