You’re Taking Reusable Nappies Abroad With You??!!!

Since we started using reusable nappies last June, I haven’t used a single disposable one. Not when we went away for a weekend to Cornwall, not when William was in hospital with hand, foot and mouth and not even for swimming. We are fully on the reusable train here now.

If you have followed me for a while now, you will know that Jake started school last September and that the transition has been somewhat difficult for both of us.

So, when Encore Tickets got in touch to ask if I’d like to review a new musical called ‘Come From Away’ I was very, very excited!
