Spotted! Totally *want* This Tea Tumbler

I don’t know about you but I rarely hold my mugs by the handle – I much prefer wrapping my hand around the comforting warmth, creating a multi-sensory enjoyment of a cup of the Good Stuff. I also have a secret love of all things wonky and odd-shaped (oh, hush). So how much do I LOVE this tea tumbler? A LOT, that’s how much. (and yes, it’s dishwasher safe too. Genius.) All available from Josies Pot Shop on Etsy,...

We had the red design to review which I loved, why can’t more toys be red instead of the obligatory blue or pink that is thrust upon us? (They do offer the gendered red or pink but this third colour way saved their butts in my opinion.)...

Spotted! Really Useful Lockable First Aid & Medicine Storage

Many moons ago a friend told me a story about why she now keeps all medicines in the house under lock and key. All medicines were kept in an unlocked box on the top shelf of a high cupboard in her kitchen. She thought they were safe enough, she assumed her children hadn’t even clocked that they were kept there. One morning, she came downstairs after having been upstairs for a short while (putting laundry away or some such menial...
