Easy snacks for mums and mums to be
Sometimes babies can be so incredibly distracting... As I stared into the bewitching eyes of my friend's just-fed-and-happy 3 week old baby last week, it hit me I still needed inspiration for this post. But I was so utterly hooked by her beautiful button nose, tiny eyes and little fingers, I couldn't think of anything. 'Shall we ask you mummy?' I ...May 05 -

Travelling with Baby
Back away from that lady, she's gonna blow! Nobody said it out loud but I could tell that's what they were thinking, as I waddled through Lagos airport carrying a suspicious package under my shirt.
