Philips Wake up Light. Buy One. That is all.
As regular readers will know, my eldest son has had M.E. for two years, and mornings are NOT his best time. Never a morning bird, even as a small child he liked a lie in. So couple his natural tendency with the slow-starting body that comes with M.E. and he’s on to a total non-starter, if I’m honest. On a bad day, he’ll simply lie in bed, unable to even contemplate the effort involved in lifting the duvet and placing...

Did you buy it when you were pregnant? For your first ever tree as a couple?

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...
