for the third time, I’m attempting to get thelittlepip.com up and running. and yes, it looks different. that’s because it keeps getting hacked and I have to keep starting again. I thought it would be better to just get up and running than try to replicate my last attempt in it’s entirety. let […]
merry christmas to one and all from Pip and me. i know blogging has been a bit scarce around here recently, but i am hoping 2013 will be better. i’m certainly feeling a lot better since i spent four nights away from being a mum last weekend. it meant that christmas was a little disorganised […]
At aged 7 months, Pip has started to perfect her ‘what are you f.ucking doing?’ face. The one I expect to see a million more times; the one that even now makes me feel a little less capable and will, no doubt, in about 12 years time reduce me to private tears. She reserves it […]
If there is anything I strive for here, it’s honesty. Without sensationalising anything, without trying to turn it into a competition.

update: i first posted this a couple of weeks ago and then the site server was hacked & we had to go offline. in the re-building of the site, i had a little revamp to make the site a little more streamlined and (i hope) all is good to go again. obviously, if the links […]
I keep meaning to do a round up post of all the products that I love for Pip, in case anyone is looking for present ideas, baby shower ideas, or just shopping recommendations. Swanky toiletries are one of my favourite presents to give – I don’t think I’ve met anyone who doesn’t like the idea […]
This weekend marked the start of our first half term holiday. Marto was away on a business trip to France, so Pip and I went to stay with Nana & Granddad, along with Marto’s brother’s family. It was a little odd being at the in-laws with all Marto’s family bar him, but also nice for […]
