Vintage Toddler Nightdress
Sometimes, a girls doesn’t want to wear pyjamas. Or even (in our house) Jymamas. Sometimes a girl wants a pretty nightie. Sometimes a girl wants a pretty nightie that’s not white and fairy-like. If you should happen to possess one of those girls (*eyeroll*), you might want to take a meandering saunter over see this fab range on Amazon. Because they sent us this rather adorable vintage-styled nightie by Powell Craft…...
Goggles. Oh yes.
When we went to France, I took with me two children who, whilst enjoying being in the pool, were rather hesitant about the whole actual swimming deal. Boy is nearly 10, and can swim, but really rather hates getting his face wet. Jolly, 8, can’t quite swim, and will not, no way, no how, go under water for any reason, areyouinsane thank you. So, what happens if you throw a couple of pairs of goggles ta them? I’ll show you....

Then realised it went forward too… and she was...

Kickers shoes. Kicking.
I have to say, when my first child was growing, I insisted on going to a ‘proper’ shoe shop, and only buying one brand of ‘proper’ shoes. But now I’m a wise old mama of four, and I know that there are more than one type of shoemaker, and more than one brand does it ‘properly’. And actually, what you want in a shoe is a good spacious fit, sturdy build, and something good looking enough for the...
