*rant alert* My child ‘won’ a Young Writers competition and is going to be published
Today the 9yr old came out of school so full of proud he was steaming at the ears with it. As we walked to the car he couldn’t stop telling me all about it. Not ONLY had he won the school’s ‘Achievers Certificate’ for a ‘fabulous piece of descriptive writing’, but he had ALSO “won a competition with a poem I wrote a-a-a-ges ago and there is a letter in my book bag and it’s going to be in...
Spotted! Gorgeous slippers from Ruby & Ed
Yes, it’s that time of year again… and we’re on the hunt for pretty toe warmers. Naturally, the first stop was at Ruby & Ed – and looks what’s nestled in this years collection? Isn’t it joyous? I love this piece of silly froth, and would adore wrapped sweetly around my chilly feet this winter.. The Lichen Posy Mules are £34 from the always-ruddy-marvellous Ruby & Ed’s site. Be warned...
When you’re having one of those days…
When you’re having a day like I’m having today, I’m thinking it might not be a bad idea to have one of these hanging somewhere highly visible. You never know what a little positive suggestion can do *eyes the rest of the day and waits expectantly for something good to show up…* The Expect A Miracle sign is available for £16.50 from the always delightful Jonny’s Sister.

Is it me, or is there something wrong with this picture?
This is a bikini. For young girls aged TWO to EIGHT. *sigh* I know this subject of age-inappropriate clothing has been done to death… but really? I’d probably have a pink fit if my 14 yr old daughter wanted to wear this to the beach. But put my 6 yr old in it? No, I don’t think so. This is NOT a young girls style, is it? Why on earth would a reputable and stylish childrenswear company think that this was something...
Birthdays in the Biomes
Really loving this idea from the Eden Project – birthday parties in the Biomes! They look fab for all ages, too – for 3-5yrs there’s sessions based around music and dance or storytelling and veg planting. 5-8yr olds get a day full of magic and mystery awaits with either a pirates or a fairies theme. The children will be able to go on an adventure through the Biomes, collecting treasure along the way. The older 8-12yr...
