Okay, so this isn’t actually maternity wear… but these Kimonos from Caro London would be simply fabulous for drifting around the house on a summers afternoon, when you have that hot, twitchy pregnant feeling and absolutely NOTHING is comfortable to wear. And I can’t think of anything nicer to roll up into your hospital bag, [...]

So the sun is out, we’re headed towards the summer holidays, and we all want to be outside as much as possible. But of course, a little dash of style here and there never goes astray – and I am a total sucker for a little vintage styling. I really don’t get my bike out [...]

Pretty things for small people’s rooms – always a way to our hearts. So when I saw these gorgeous personalised alphabet prints from Modo Creative I was made very happy by their sheer loveliness.

When my eldest son was a toddler, I came to that stage we all get to. You know. The bed-and-no-nappy stage. As any slightly experienced Mumma knows, this is the point that you Need Protection. Oh yes. I happened to be in Mothercare, and saw a handy bed mat, reduced to about £4. Bargainous! I [...]

ooooh! Look! Go on, would you just LOOK! Now, I know that The Pink One does love her pink things. Just a bit. Oh my, yes, she does. But almost as much she loves COLOUR. When she sees a new pot of crayons her eyes widen and she does a little gasp of glee that [...]

Well now. Yes, I admit it, I’m a sucker for a lovely notepad. What is less well known (though not exactly rare) is that I also happen to be a sucker for all things Penguin (thats the orange book designs, not the black and white cold birds. Though they’re sweet too. Or the chocolate biscuits. [...]

So, last week I was whisked off for a spa break by my loveliest of lovelies friend. Fabulous, yes? Well… actually… Cue much angst. What the heckster was I to put my things in? I needed a big-enough-but-none-too big bag, perfect for overnight-ing sans small people. As is always the way, only when I need [...]
