JoJo Maman Bebe’s New Evening Collection for Winter 2013

I’ve just received word that one of my favourite baby and maternity brand’s has just launched their new evening wear collection for the Xmas party season.

There will be six styles for gorgeous mummy’s to be to try out including their lace shift dress from last year in a new red wine shade as well as the fail safe classic black.

There’s also sequin and beading detail for a glam feel to their midnight blue and classic black dresses. Plus there’s lot’s of long sleeves, phew, in sheer fabrics, allowing the dresses to remain sexy and elegant whilst hiding those ever so attractive bingo wings. 

The lovely ladies at JJMB are also still keeping it affordable (prices start at £29) and check out the whole range here.

The best walker

I don't know about anyone else but I've really struggled to find a good walker for my little man. The majority of them are way too light weight meaning they inevitably fall flat on their face and they make horrible noises which drive you slowly insane.

That was until I found this little beauty! I bought this about a month ago now and it's been used every day for hours since.

The walker itself is wooden, brightly coloured in the primary shades, and has five different activities, one on each side.

There's a shape sorter, clock for teaching older kids the time, black board, shape spinner and a music station on the top. He particularly loves the shape sorter because the wooden pieces are the perfect size for his little hands whilst being too big (I hope) to choke on.

However the best aspect for me is that because it's self assembly you can really tighten the screws and lock the wheels into place. So when he pulls himself up or leans on it, it doesn't run away with him.

Since he's started cruising though I've loosened them slightly so that he can practice walking without it running away with him, as other popular models would.

It's not the cheapest walker on the market at £44.99 from Mothercare but I'm so glad I invested in this over a cheap, plastic noisy version.

Fabulous Toy Boxes

When you live in quite a small London flat trying to keep clutter down to a minimum is really difficult, particularly when you don't have room for a big toy box. That's why I'm loving these! 

They're apple crates from Plant a Box which you can personalise to your little one! You can add wheels, a lid, stencilling, and a blackboard. 

Plus they come in a great range of colours that you can mix and match. I've just ordered some green and cream ones with little W's name one that look great stacked against the wall. 

Priced at £34.95 for the basic box without extras doesn't make them the cheapest option but as a box that can later be used for keepsakes for your little one, I absolutely love them!
