MyItchyBoy is starting to grow up. It’s true. Apparently, they all do it…. For him, part of being more independent and responsible is looking after his skin and managing his allergies. This is a lot of top of the normal stuff for an average four year old. But then, it’s sadly the only life he […]
Exciting discoveries in Gran Canaria
Earlier in December we were lucky enough to spend a lovely, sunny week in Gran Canaria. This post is about a couple of the products we enjoyed discovering on this trip. As mentioned in the previous post, we were lucky that our resort and town was full of Scandinavians. This was to our advantage as […]
Good cotton pjs for eczema kids
After the usual hunt for pyjamas for MIB that are the right size, 100% cotton and not extortionate in price, I was really pleased to find a two pair pack in the supermarket. I usually find it so hard to find something as simple as cotton pyjamas. So many shops sell what would be 100% […]

Stinky Shampoo
***NOTE: We no longer use this shampoo for MyItchyBoy*** I discovered that a solid shampoo called Soak and Float shampoo from Lush has done wonders for MIB’s flaky scalp. We saw good results in almost three days and now use it about once a week. The only trouble is, the stuff doesn’t smell so good when […]
Awareness Badges
Make A Badge are great and we have a great supply of badges for MIB. We use the Epipen one on his bag and we have a couple of peanut warning for occasions when we may be near food and out of our site. The service was great, the badges are excellent value and good […]
Bamboo Towels
I am not sure exactly when or how we discovered bamboo bath towels, but I do know we were glad when we did. We were all prepared for the new baby with a brand new hooded towel from Mothercare but it soon became obvious that he found it difficult to even lie on the towel […]
The Epipen
The arrival of the Epipen into our lives was not a welcome one. It was something I had dreaded and lived in hope that it would never happen to us. Naturally, I am grateful we have it and that we were given free training from the NHS and it does mean we can get on […]
