Spotted! Bestest overnight bag in the world.
So, last week I was whisked off for a spa break by my loveliest of lovelies friend. Fabulous, yes? Well… actually… Cue much angst. What the heckster was I to put my things in? I needed a big-enough-but-none-too big bag, perfect for overnight-ing sans small people. As is always the way, only when I need an object do I suddenly realise I haven’t one in my possession. Such was the case last week (case? Did you see what...
Missing – One Mouse. (*Warning – emotional post alert*)
As you, dear reader, will know, a love affair started in this house around Christmas time. These charming little mice did bewitch all of our hearts, but for Pink the love was total. This is her on Christmas Day night, poorly and restless in Mummy & Daddy’s bed: And so the love began. Mimi and Mustafa (named by Gangy (Granny) on a whim, and apparently unable to change it to anything else) have been constant night time bed...
Bobux Soft Leather Childrens Slippers review

Then I did start to wear them myself (get thee away from me, cold feet), and was persuaded that they were quite nice – but still felt a pair of socks was better on small growing bones. Then the lovely Caroline at Ollipops (probably rolling her...
Spotted! For the Dads – The Real Shaving Co.

Turns out that for months, the Winter months especially, he’s been dipping, daily, into my very special, too good for him, facial moisturiser to keep his dry skin at bay. No wonder I’ve been getting through the stuff so quickly!! Argh! So, a few browsing...
New Review – ‘The Day That…’
Holding onto time, tightly, and attempting to slow its relentless progress is a quiet occupation of us parents. Taking photos, video clips, carefully packing away baby clothes and glorious first works of art are all part of it. Is there something we’ve forgotten to preserve? Is there another way we haven’t yet thought of to help us sustain and protect our memories? Well, ‘The Day That…’ and their wonderfully unique idea give us...
Hello, Good morning and welcome… to 2010.
So – here we are at that back-to-normal mid-January Flump. Work is muttering from the sidelines as I sit here (meandering around blogosphere) valiantly ignoring its rumbling discontent. Instead, I’m thinking about all that ‘stuff’ we had for Christmas. and what was really, truly, the best bits. For No.1 son we did good this year. the most successful of his loot was the lego – his ultimate passion –...
