Review¦ I discovered Dottyfish when Autumn was a toddler. I previously worked on a review with them and was so impressed by their work with the London Podiatry Centre to make sure that their shoes help children’s feet to grow healthily. When I attended BlogOn in October, I was excited to see that since Autumn grew out of their shoes, their range has expanded.

An interview with Autumn, age 5
When Autumn was a baby, this set of questions circulated around many parenting blogs. I couldn’t wait for her to be able to talk and now she’s never quiet! By the time she turned 2, she was speaking enough for us to have a decent conversation. As such, I asked her these questions for the first time! Since then, I’ve asked her these questions each year.
