Graco Milestone Review – the only car seat you need to buy? #GenerationGraco
Being asked to do a Graco Milestone review really took me back a few years. Waaay back when I began this parenting malarky almost 18 years ago (EIGHTEEN YEARS! *cries*) car seats were honestly a baffling thing. Of course, the Big News on the Parenting Street back then was the totes awesome ‘travel system’ idea – utterly groundbreaking, the car seat that could sit in the pram chassis so you didn’t have to...
Win 1 of 3 pairs of Just Sheepskin slippers – worth up to £85!
Oh slippers how I love you. It’s an odd thing – as a child I hated slippers with a deep and wide loathing. If my feet were chilly, I resorted happily to socks – the thicker and fluffier the better. but slippers? UGH. No. All the way through my teens and twenties I stuck to my guns – slippers were bad bad ugly things. But then I got given a pair for Christmas, and I politely had to wear them. What a revelation!...
Saying hello to #GenerationGraco
We were so excited when asked to become part of GenerationGraco – I’ve been a fan pretty much as long as I’ve been a parent (I don’t know why they stopped making them, but 16 years ago they genuinely made the very best potty on the market. Broad enough to be comfy for a bottom, a high enough back to lean against to aid sitting for longer, a lovely broad base to stop any chance of tipping, and a see-through...
Grannies Try Snapchat (dare you not to grin).
I consider myself a pretty modern digital version of a mother. I spend my days online, and with so many genuine friends made through the internet I absolutely encourage my kids to make friends online (they’re very clear on the safety rules, obviously, but I’m not frightened of cyber friendships). I’ve been blogging since 2004, I’m an old hand at Twitter and Facebook, and I’m starting to win at Instagram....
So How Credit Savvy Are You?
I’ve written before about the fact that some years back we found ourselves in what is politely called ‘financial difficulties’. We were on very low wages, and debts were simply managed rather then reduced. Then there was a redundancy, a baby… and suddenly that narrow safety margin vanished and we were in trouble, with debt increasing every month. Money worries are horrible. They sit heavily on your brain, they...
Have A BERRY Good Day – and Nominate Someone Else For One Too!
So new research tells us that by 8.12 in the morning, our mood is set. By that early point in the day, we’ve already determined if it’s going to be a good day – or a bad one. I admit it though – I’m sceptical. Of course we’ve all had those mornings where everything just swings along perfectly, and you find yourself humming happily with a small smile on your face for no good reason – just...
