So Birthday Season rolls on at Babes HQ as my youngest turns 8 today. I always joke that since Abiye gave me a home full of boys, I gave him a hat trick of Aquarians. Today we celebrate Jed, aka the Jedi master, the quirkiest of us all. I’ve asked him…
How to Give Kids a Body Confidence Boost
I love watching my boys playing football. When they’re really in the zone, doing what they love most, it looks like nothing can touch them. They’re not just comfortable in their skin, they’re limitless. Both Ezra and Jed are naturally sporty and when I talk to them about body confidence, and…
We’re going to Camp Bestival 2014!
Woot! Woot! Or should I say ‘hoop hoop’ for this year’s circus theme (as revealed by the lovely hula diva Marawa the Amazing)? The last time we went to Camp Bestival was in 2012. It was our first ever family festival camping experience and boy did we have a blast. I shook hands with the…

We were sent a pair to review at Christmas and Ezra couldn’t wait to get them on. The cool thing about Skribbies…
Jumping for Joy with Smafolk Kidswear!
What to do on a teacher’s strike day off from school? Take the kids to a local church for a mini photo shoot (I wanted to use their blue door as a backdrop)! We’d been sent some gorgeous boyswear from Småfolk, the super cool kids clothing company based in Denmark. What I love about Scandinavian…
Featured: Village life in Essex
Featured Content Take a mini tour of Essex from a local’s point of view… Across the rest of the UK, there is a picture people have of Essex that is very unfair. Based largely around the TV show The Only Way is Essex, some people think the county is all about fake tans and veneers…
