Pre-Christmas Christmas Shopping Top Tips #8 – Gorgeous Christmas wall stickers.
Just plain beautiful, no? Well, not plain, obviously. But beautiful, definitely. We’re huge fans of the Love Mae wall stickers, and when we saw these in the Love Mae Etsy shop, we squeaked a bit. Sooo pretty, and endlessly versatile around your festive home (with not a garish shiny tinsel flutter in sight). Best of all? On twelfth night you can simply (but a bit gently) peel them off, put them back on the sheet, and tuck them...
The Grown Up ‘baby bag’ – The Storksak Jamie
The thing with Baby Changing Bags isn’t so much the design, these days – there are lots of them around, one to suit most people, and fewer and fewer are decorated with teddy bears. No, it’s more the fact that you only have a baby for a short period of time. But you have children for much MUCH longer. My children are now 11, 9, 7 and 3 – and I still find that a normal handbag doesn’t quite cut it. Of...
Klean Kanteen – have you seen?

And there’s the scary-mary stories about plastic too ( I was going to link to some BPA/cancer/antimony stories there, but when I googled I got all afeared to go read the gazillion scare stories, and ran away quick)....

But I’ve always resisted, not really seeing the need to go and splash out on one just for the few times a year it might be handy. But then Bionaire asked if we’d like to review their Compact Ultrasonic Humidifier...
Spotted! Paperless Post for paperless Christmas cards
Oh. My. Word. You are just going to LOVE this, I promise. Promise, promise, promise. It’s a well known phenomenon that all of us just love pretty stationery, yes? Yes. Of course we do. So how about the ability to pick really very VERY pretty paper and cards, make them utterly gorgeous, customise them completely, send them out in gorgeous envelopes – but all online and entirely paperless? Yes – all that, and...
Sunday Recipe – Worlds Best Apple Cakes
I thought I’d better finally share, as I’ve been asked to so often, and now they’re fighting over the cyber-cakes on Twitter I thought it time they made their own. And as a bonus, it’s a recipe so easy you can make it with a 3 yr old. You know how you have a zillion recipe books, but only a handful you constantly return to? Well, this is a recipe from one of mine – it’s the 1980 version of Readers...
