I recently got to talk to Nicola Romsey, founder and creator of the Angels With Dirty Faces nursery goods brand. Almost uniquely, all Angels With Dirty Faces changing bags are hand made by Nicola's dedicated team.

Her story of success is an amazing one. In this short 13 minute interview, Nicola discusses the inspiration behind her retro designs and how she didn't let her lack of business experience stop her. She even reveals how she managed to meet and marry her husband in Las Vegas, all within the space of 7 days.

Dannii Minogue shows off son in infant baby carrier

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:00:31 +0000

Dannii Minogue has revealed her son to the world, posting a picture online of him sleeping in his infant baby carrier.

The singer and X Factor judge gave birth to Ethan in her native Australia earlier this month (July 5th 2010).

In the snap of the tot, which was uploaded onto her Twitter feed, the star looks tired but happy as she tenderly strokes the little one in his infant baby carrier.

Dad Kris Smith, an ex-professional rugby player, also beamed in the family photo.

Minogue told her followers on the micro-blogging portal: "Hey everyone, thanks for all your wishes, we are loving baby Ethan and Kris is the best dad in the world."

The 38-year-old has kept fans up to date on the progress of her pregnancy using the site.

Earlier this year, she posted a pic of one of her first all in one baby suit purchases.

The fact that it was black and grey and featured a picture of a koala led some to correctly guess that Minogue was expecting a boy.

Animal lovers invited to bring kids' wellies to Paignton Zoo

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:00:30 +0000

Youngsters have been invited to bring their kids' wellies to Paignton Zoo for a special event later this month.

The Devon attraction is running a sleepover session for 15 little ones, who do not need to be members of the sanctuary.

Held on July 23rd 2010, the evening will give children the chance to experience the "dark side" of the zoo on a unique late night tour.

Before going to sleep in a room themed on the African savannah, kids will use bat detectors, listen out for wolves and roast marshmallows, according to educator Katy Barton.

The following morning, children are given the chance to watch animals tucking into their breakfast as they eat their own morning meal.

"If you've ever wondered what the animals do after we've all gone home, now's your chance. Don't forget your wellies in case a keeper needs you to lend a hand," Ms Barton remarked.

Earlier this month, parenting website MyChild.co.uk suggested that mums and dads could set their offspring the task of creating a nature garden.

Young people may need to wear kids' wellies while digging and planting.

Mason Dash Disick 'loves wearing kids' swimwear'

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:00:27 +0000

Celebrity baby Mason Dash Disick may only be six months old, but he already loves getting on his kids' swimwear and hitting the pool.

And his mum, reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian, appears to know what she is doing when it comes to looking after the tot, revealing she always uses plenty of sun protection for toddlers and puts her son in a hat.

Writing her regular blog for US magazine People, the socialite revealed her little one recently enjoyed a swim at partner Scott Disick's parents' house.

Mason loved the water so much that Kardashian is considering arranging swimming lessons for him.

"I've heard that babies become great swimmers when taught early because of their natural survival instinct to hold their breath under water," she remarked.

In the UK, the NHS offers plenty of advice on how to take babies swimming safely.

Parents are able to take their little ones to the pool before and after their vaccination for meningococcal disease.

Youngsters love wearing kids' raincoats and children's wellies in woodland garden

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:00:27 +0000

Pupils at Carr Infants School love nothing more than getting on their kids' raincoats and children's wellies and heading into a woodland garden.

The youngsters have spent the past couple of years getting their hands dirty as part of the project, which has involved making dens and planting greenery.

In recognition of their handiwork, headteacher Sue Bell has put the garden forward for York news source the Press' Community Pride Awards.

The school is hoping to win the Best Primary School category at the ceremony, which is due to take place later this year.

Regardless of whether the kids pick up a gong for the garden, it is proving to be useful for lessons across the curriculum, including art, geography and technology, Ms Bell explained.

She remarked: "The children love it. We have raincoats and wellies and go out in all weathers. Everyone is on board."

Earlier this month, parenting website MyChild.co.uk suggested that little ones could get on children's wellies and create their own nature garden this summer.
