A Confession for You, TK MAXX… #GiveUpClothes
At the bottom of the cupboard in my wardrobe is a box. Inside that box is a pile of clothes. Not a big pile – just a neat, folded, carefully placed pile. A range of items – a basic wardrobe collection, in fact. Jeans, tops, a cardigan. All worn, but all looked after, and still with ‘plenty of wear in them’ as my Granny used to say. They are all maternity clothes. My youngest child is eight. There will be no more children. And yet,...

But then one particular paragraph caught my eye: “This autumn Sainsbury’s will be offering a host of creepy character costumes for every member of the family (even the dog!) and is making Halloween safer for shoppers as all dress up products now meet the British Nightwear Flammability Standard, which is...
Win a pair of Naturino kids shoes – any pair you like!
When I was contacted by Italian kids shoe brand Naturino, I admit, I was a little casual. I mean – have you ever heard of them? No, me either. But then I had a proper look – and wish they’d expanded into the UK years ago. Seriously. These shoes are amazing! Naturino is a footwear line for children produced by Falc S.p.A. (a European leader in the footwear industry for more than 40 years). Every parent knows that...
