Oooh – bargain scarves! Joules have 25% off in their winter sale!
Come on, we ALL Love a scarf. No matter what you’re wearing or where you’re going, no matter what your body size or how bad your hair day, a scarf makes things better. Thin summer scarves can be picked up for a song all year round, but really good, soft, warm-but-not-drowning you winter scarves will often dent the pocket a little. So when I spotted that Joules have a cheeky 25% off some of their remaining winter range, I...
Heads Up! Glorious New Girls Kickers Are In!
It’s no secret we’re HUGE fans of Kickers – not only am I a big fan from back in the 80’s, but this is my girl modelling her first pair SEVEN years ago. We’ve been fans of Kickers as solidly reliable kids shoes ever since – they’re school shoes which are tough enough to withstand the roughest playground, but stylish enough to keep fashion-conscious tweens oh-so-happy. But even I, with my...
Review of the Graco Evo XT – one rather fabulous stroller #GenerationGraco
Last in our #GenerationGraco series is a review of the Graco Evo XT – a fabulously sturdy pushchair that appears to be perfectly suited to our rural lifestyle. Once unpacked, clipping the axle, wheels and basket into place was a doddle, and we were literally ready to roll within minutes. Even with all the fab pushchair testing we’ve done recently, this one created an immediate impressed face. It looks great, of course, but...
Looking for a last minute Ski Break? Here’s When To Go Where.
So Christmas has come and gone, and now you’re kicking yourself that you haven’t booked that ski break after all. First off – you missed out. January is often the very best month to go skiing, not least because no one else thinks of it either. If you have flexible holiday then January is a time to find some great snow and some great deals (and quieter mountains!). But if you’re looking at...
Spotted – Don’t Touch Me Peasant!
I know, we all love a good mug. I know I’m not alone in having a collection, because certain mugs are needed for certain drinks on certain days. And today is definitely the day for THIS little beauty. Perfect, no? I found it in Frankly Noted’s rather perfect Etsy shop, and I neeeed it. Sadly they don’t ship the UK currently – but let’s start petitioning them to, yes? We need more of their mugs in...
When do I get my child’s eyes tested?
Hopefully you don’t need to think about your new babies eyes (except for gazing into them for the hours at a time, obviously) – all babies have a quick eye screen at birth (no, I didn’t know it had happened either), and then the Health Visitor will do another at their 6wk check. After that though, it’s up to you. Unless you see an obvious issue like squinting or eye rubbing, then it’s a good idea for hem...
