Came across this piece in The Daily Mail today, apparently, parents with young children only get enjoy 15 minutes of quality time together.

I have two questions, the first; did they need a survey for that? Haven’t they ever been with baby and toddlers? Haven’t they seen those ESDs (energy sucking devices AKA your children) to know it killing any chance of spending quality time with your spouse?

The second question is, 15 minutes, that long? And quality? Usually it is just letting out steam at each other.

Now seriously, I love my girls, they are the most amazing things on the face of this...

Here’s the setup: A., me and kids are coming back from our morning walk outside. I am carrying Ulysses’s bike with a front wheel full of the nastiest dog poo you can imagine. The Dandelion has just decided to start an impromptu potty training 15 minutes ago and took off his diaper.

At the entrance to the building we meet our neighbor, a new father to a 2 weeks old baby girl. He is in his sweats, pale, looking just a little better than what is currently dripping from Ulysses’s bike’s front wheel. He sees us, and...

Having kids really changes the way you look at life. One of the big changes for me was that I became aware to being healthy. I must admit I was always dismissive of my health and before having my daughters, I was eating junk food, not doing any exercise and generally leading a very unhealthy life style.

But being a father of two amazing girls changed all of that, I have realized that being healthy and leading a healthy life style is important and essential, and that it is one of the most important values I can install to my children. I assume that for each of us there is a different trigger to the change of perspective. For me it was my desire to be fit, so I can be active (mainly skiing) with my daughters in 20 years ti...

Our friend came to visit yesterday with her 6 weeks old baby girl. Our friend is a new mom with a tendency to “crunchiness”, mid-thirties, free spirit, lived all around the world, did some crazy things in her days, a sort of an avantgarde performance artist and a totally cool person in all respects.

And she’s driven insane by her mom and her advices.

“The baby isn’t dressed warm enough”, “Why does she sleep in your bed?” “Why don’t you have a regular feedi...

1.10, you confuse me.

I know, I know, I should be prepared. It’s not like 4.0 wasn’t 1.10 a few short years ago. Still, you perplex me.

You wake up in the middle of the night every night. What gives? Five months ago you were already sleeping through the night, and now all of a sudden it’s no good for you? You won’t go to sleep unless I’m there, which is just too cruel a trick to play on me after being the easiest kid to put to bed ever since you were 6 months old.

You won’t shower, because you don’t want to...

When I was about 15 I had a really bad fight with my boyfriend. It was the worst fight we had in the entire two years of our relationship. I don’t really remember the details, but I remember we didn’t talk for a few days and I remember that I was very distressed and upset over it, as any desperatly-in-love fifteen years old should be when she has a fight with her boyfriend.

After those few days of silence we found ourselves sitting in his car, shouting at each other and trying to figure this thing out. What upset me the most was that I couldn’t unde...

Halloween is my favorite holiday. First, it’s in the fall, which is my favorite season, (cold enough for soups, warm enough for long walks) (wow, that came out kitschy.) Second, it’s three days after my birthday, (yay, my birthday! Who hasn’t heard about my upcoming birthday yet? Outer Space, it’s my birthday!) And third, the costumes! I lurrrrve the costumes.

Those of you who read me regularly know that I’m a wannabe crafter. I want to be, but I can’t because I’m hopeless when it comes to the actual crafting. That doens&...

Visited the Baby Show in Birmingham, one of the fun things you get to do as the CBO (chief baby officer), loads of new products in the market, and soon,Stephen, our Baby Gear Aficionado is going to up load some reviews to the site.

I was more interested in looking into all the small gadget people invent around the baby industry. We are passionate about our children, and I think a lot of people, through the process of being a parent are coming up with different business ideas, I know I came up with one, this website.

Mika, my youngest (2 and 3 months), was a bit ill over the weekend, nothing that a little Ibuprofen and Paracetamol can’t cure.

Monday morning she had a slight fever, 37.5, we gave her some Ibuprofen and sent her to nursery. This morning, at our local coffee shop I’ve bumped into a mum from nursery, she said she thinks her son got the virus that been going around the nursery, which made me think, how many parents sends their kids to nursery with a slight fever and a hidden virus…..

Welcome to my Chief baby officer blog, this is my first post so it will be slightly more formal. A quick word about this funny title of mine, I thought being called chief executive officer is far too serious for a company that deals with babies and baby products and services, hence the little twist.

I set out on building Babyfy.com about a year ago when looking for a double buggy. I was sure, that on the web I would find an online resource that will list, review and shed some light on all the available products out there,. Well, I was wrong.

There are lots of great parenting websites out there, lots of active and helpful message boards, but I couldn’t find a website that would help me, as a novice parent or a...
