Our TV Debut

Posted on 03/02/2012 by Tania

Late last year we were approached by the team at 3VTV. A soon to launch local internet TV station, to create a short film about The Flower Stork. We didn’t need to be asked twice. It’s not often you get offered an opportunity to have a promotional film created and streamed on TV and a local internet station at that. 3VTV is a UK first and as an on-line business that is focused on new technology we are delighted to have had this opportunity to adopt some of the very latest in marketing technology. A big Thank you to the Team at 3VTV.

So without further ado we hope you will stop by and find out a little bit more about The Flower Stork on 3VTV and where it all began.

Do Real Men Change Nappies?

Posted on 03/02/2012 by Tania

They just might with a little encouragement and what better way than this cool chocolate bar. Thankfully modern dads and dads-to-be certainly get a lot more involved in pregnancy, child birth and child rearing than they did when I was growing up. I’m lucky enough to have a real man that’s not afraid to get his hands dirty (literally). Time to celebrate the new modern dad with a cool new daddy gift.

Week 17 – Sleep Glorious Sleep

Posted on 20/01/2012 by Tania

So it was only 2 weeks ago I wrote about the lack of sleep. There is one thing I have learned with babies and children. They have some bad habits or stages, but they are always short lived. I knew we were heading in the right direction sleep wise, it was just taking a little longer to get there than I would have liked. Or than his sisters did. But my lovely boy hit the 17 week mark and Continue reading →

Week 16 – I’m a Mum Get Me Out of Here

Posted on 13/01/2012 by Tania

There comes a time when you suddenly find baby is more settled, you are more rested and organised and well the four walls are drawing in. I do think it hits around the 4 month mark and mine has hit. It’s time to get out and do some fun stuff with my little man. The mild January weather is certainly in our favour too.

I remember back when I had my first I started out at my local NCT Coffee Group and then moved on to Water Babies, Music and Movement, Tumble Tots etc etc. Before I knew it I had a full mummy social life. So much so that hubby had the audacity to suggest Continue reading →

Week 15 – The No Sleep Brigade

Posted on 11/01/2012 by Tania

So after two sleepers it appears this time around I am a member of this exclusive club. I did think the likelihood of 3 sleepers wasn’t statistically possible.

I have found with a young baby peoples first question is, how old is he now ? And then the golden question, does he sleep through?

But why oh why do they then find the need to regale you with stories of babies that sleep through….

….the 5 week old baby that sleeps through (yes I was smug when I had one of these too!)
….the 10 week old twins to a first time mother that sleep 7 to 7 (lucky lady but with twins to look after I think she deserves a good nights sleep just that little bit more than the next mum).
….the lady with a hearing loss who’s baby learnt to sleep through as mum couldn’t hear them (really!!)

and that was just in 2 minutes at the school gate yesterday.

I’ve tried loads of things, the pep talk “you know mum is OK in the night dadddy is with me you don’t need to wake every couple of hours to check on me, feed him more in the day, try a bottle (completely and utterly rejected).

But he is very cute, even at 1am, 3 am, 5 am and 6am……Repeats the new mum mantra to ones self “it won’t be forever”. Sometimes it just feels it.
