A photoshoot with Lorenzo Ali in Dulwich Park

Lorenzo Ali is a well-known local photographer in Dulwich. He has produced some superb portraits of my friends and their children, as well as being extremely in demand for weddings all over London and the South-East. Loz found a bit of time in his hectic schedule to do a group photoshoot in Dulwich Park with Bombi and 9 of her chums.

The first attempt was scuppered by a rainy day, so the second session was with Adwoa and Bo:

The third session was with Harrison, Bombi, Camilla, Daisy, Cailean, Caden and Mattia.

Loz photographed each mum individually with their child for about 20 - 30 minutes which was more than enough time for him to capture these gorgeous photos. We also have some lovely group shots of the children.

Loz is happy to arrange a photoshoot with a group of at least 10 mums. Prices are £40 - £50 per mum and he will provide you with a hi-res CD of all the shots within about 2 - 3 weeks, so you are free to print off as many photos as you like. I've not met another photographer yet who offers images on CD - all the others try and make you buy the prints, so this really is a fantastic deal!

Contact Loz and mention the 'Netmums' offer if you would like to organise a group photo session for you and your friends.

Bombi doing the Toddle Waddle for The Meningitis Trust

Bombi and her chums took part in a sponsored Toddle Waddle for The Meningitis Trust. We raised just over £2000 - the kids done good! There's still time to sponsor us if you've not already done so! You can donate here: virginmoneygiving.com/team/Dulwich

Check out Antonia's lovely article about our event which also has a fab video at the end of it.

Toddle Waddle in Dulwich Park, April 24th

Calling all babies and toddlers to raise money for the Meningitis Trust by doing a sponsored waddle (or walk or crawl) around a short circuit in Dulwich Park on the 24th of April. We will have a fun day of waddling, picnicking (it's St. George's Day), face painting and balloon animals for the kids. If you would like to get involved, send me a message so that I can add you to our fundraising page. All you need to do is raise some money (we are aiming for £15 from each participant) via our charity page and then turn up on the day:

Email me if you would like to join the team. Lots of helpers needed on the day too!

Aunty Ninanoonoo took Bombi out for the afternoon to the Park

Bombi loves the park!


Bombi's very excited about having her pooey bum changed!




Then we went for yummy sushi at Fujiyama in Brixton:

Jill and baby Nelson came to visit us in Dulwich and we spent a lovely day in the park.



Bombi was a bit rough with Nelson. Naughty Bombi!

Bombi tried out the swings for the first time!

The chaos we call home!

Today is my first day off work in 6 weeks. Hurrah for half term! I am sat here surveying the chaos of our home wondering where to start with sorting out the mess. Bombi is sat next to me doing her stomach crunches - not long till she's sitting up now.

Aunty Hils met us in Dulwich Village for lunch:


And the new Micralite pram arrived, hooray:

We went to Dulwich Park to see Tinari, Chinny, TT, Rio, Aunty Rioch and Uncle Ian in the afternoon as it was so sunny today. I wish it was half term all the time.

Tomorrow we are off to Suffolk to see Uncle Geoff, and I've just booked our trip to Berlin to see Adam. Go Bombi!

Now back to the mess...
Here's a pic of Bombi with some very silly bunches:

Bombi in the snow!

Today was the snowiest day in England in the last 18 years apparently. We took Bombi to the park to have a look around!
Here's one I rolled earlier:
