Woodburners from a sheet of metal to a stove in 20 minutes – Visiting Arada Stoves
We’re so very excited about the latest project in the House of LittleStuff. When we built our extension 143 years ago we always intended to have an open fire. But architects and builders being what they are, issues with the plans meant that once the foundations were complete and the walls going up, it was established that the planned fireplace couldn’t happen, and there was no budget left to re-arrange the existing works...
Wellness CORE dog food – grain-free pet food
NB – the following Wellness CORE dog food review has been really very willingly reviewed by #BlueTheRottweiler. We were gifted the bag of food – all opinions Blue’s own, obviously, because dog’s can’t lie. Unless you have a dog, you don’t think pet food differs much. You’re probably aware it can be wet or dry, and you’ve seen it’s in different flavours in the supermarket. But...
The Chicken Run – what happened when it rained…
Chickens don’t like the rain. I mean, they REALLY don’t like the rain. Actually, this should have been No. 11 in the Things I Didn’t Know About Chickens list (I suspect this list is going to continue to grow…). It makes them moody and depressed and grumpy and shouty. And I’m sure they do everything they can to look way more bedraggled than they actually are, just to gain a few more cabbage leaves out of...
A week of moments with Popchips #GetPopped
Have you seen Popchips yet? They’re the potato crisp that has been popped rather than fried, so you’re getting all the taste, but only the half the fat content of a regular fried crisp. Last week Popchips were celebrating the launch of two flavours (Sea Salt and BBQ) in multi-packs of six, and as they believe that everyday should be filled with fun and uplifting moments I was challenged to take some time to enjoy a series...

Little Stars is the latest Hetty Feather book by best-selling author, Jacqueline Wilson. Just in case you haven’t come across it yet, it’s a fabulous series set in Victorian England, in which a young girl who is abandoned by her mother at the Foundling Hospital as a baby (I know, it sounds like a barrel of laughs, doesn’t it?) and follows her story as she lives in a foster home before returning to the Foundling...
Quick, only til midnight to win a £210 Kauffmann Winter Special Down Single Duvet? #WinterISComing
When DownDuvet got in touch and asked if you might be keen to win a Kauffmann Winter Special duvet, I might have jumped up so hard I hit my head on the ceiling (Ow.) Because Winter IS Coming (thanks Jon – see, you DO know something), and there is nothing – absolutely, definitely, NOTHING – that is as soft, warm and comforting than being wrapped in a down duvet at the end of the day. And your chance to gift that fabulous snugness to...
