So here I am. Having one of ‘those’ mornings. You know the ones. Achey, grumpy, chilly, and just generally feeling… meh.
And then I saw this… and immediately felt I *needed* it. No, really, I do.
After all – there aren’t many things in life that can make you feel better than a hot water bottle, are [...]

I know I’ve waxed lyrical before about my Jam notebooks. I am happy to say Father Christmas was paying attention, as I have a pile of lovely fresh ones (here, sniff, new oh-so-pretty-paper, see?) to scribble on over the next few months. But a new offering snagged my attention when a sample plopped though the [...]

In true ‘Spotted!’ fashion, this is one that made my heart beat a teeny bit faster, and an actually ‘Oooh!’ escape me. At first glance, it’s not that much – just yet another page in the BBC shop, yes?

I was doing the weekly on-line shopping when Dearest Husband piped up, “I need some face cream please.” – “Eh?!” I intelligently responded. Turns out that for months, the Winter months especially, he’s been dipping, daily, into my very special, too good for him, facial moisturiser to keep his dry skin at bay. No wonder [...]

Not one but TWO parcels-containing-pretty-things arrived in the post today. That always makes for a happy day, doesn’t it?
First parcel has come all the way from Canada – Bugalugs sent me a package of hair accessories – non-slip barretts, an adjustable ribbon headband, and a pony loop with a pretty button. All guaranteed to fit, [...]

I am one of those kinda Mums who has TONS of stuff in her suitcase-like-bag. Now the boys are older it’s less of the nappies & wipes and more of the essentials to entertain (little colouring books, crayons, diddy cars etc..) and snacks… lots and lots of snacks. Healthy ones, of course. The usual fare [...]

So – here we are at that back-to-normal mid-January Flump. Work is muttering from the sidelines as I sit here (meandering around blogosphere) valiantly ignoring its rumbling discontent.
Instead, I’m thinking about all that ’stuff’ we had for Christmas. and what was really, truly, the best bits.
For No.1 son we did good this year. the most [...]

Isn’t this just the best way to keep baby warm during this freeeezing cold weather? No more frantic tucking of blankets around all sides and oh, baby’s kicked and blankets are untucked again. Pah!
It’s made of super soft microfibre suede that has windbreaking qualities yet breathes too. Perfect for an infant car seat, the pram [...]
