Calendar Cutie
Our little stunner this month is Big Sis, age 4.5, and one of the stars of the popular and very funny Mummy’s Little Monkey blog.
Mum Jacqui says: ‘Big Sis loves going for walks in the forest with Mummy and Daddy, and her younger sister. She likes to collect pinecones, and feed the ducks, and go stomping through the mud!’
Send in your favourite photos of your babes (ages 5 and under) for a chance to be our next Calendar Cutie and be entered into a prize draw! Email photos and a short description to editor@babesabouttown.com
