Spotted! Fabulous Wildwood Fox Mug from Magpie
Loving the autumnal feel from the new Wildwood range – how adorable is this fox? If you haven’t stumbled over Magpie yet, you really should – it’s an absolute treasure trove for a five minute dawdle with your coffee, there’s always something awesome to spot. And hands up who knew that porcelain wasn’t vegan friendly? no, me either – until I saw this on Magpie’s site – “Our...
Choosing a Car Seat – what a minefield.
Choosing a car seat is one of those essential purchases that come in your Pregnancy To Do list, along with cot, babygrows, ridiculously cute baby hats and super-extra-worryingly-thick sanitary pads. But it’s often once they grow out of those first carry-them-around-in newborn seats that often come as part of your pushchair travel system that the decision making sets in.

Bedroom Makeover – looking for furniture
So we’ve settled on a bed, on carpets, wall colour… but the wardrobes. Oh lordy, the decisions that involve the wardrobes. The trouble is, our bedroom isn’t very big.

Right now, we have the sliding-mirrored-door wardrobes...

Stupid toys that are ridiculously amusing for the gap between breakfast and Christmas lunch (main presents are after lunch, y’see…). And naturally over the years all manner of regular items...
Renewing your marriage vows – would you?
My wedding was 23 years ago – and our parents took on most of the planning for us. It feels like a lifetime ago – that itty bitty-straight-out-of-A-levels 18yr old girl is really not the woman I am today, four children and a long couple of decades later. Some things are the same, obviously – the husband, for one (even that young, I knew a good ‘un when I saw one). But so many things are different. It’s a...
Win a Warner Bros Gift Set (also – brilliant 2 minute fun with DC Superhero-You)
Warner Bros are offering you the chance to win An Amazing Gift Set, Including Teen Titans Go Action Figures & T-Tower Set, A Batman Unlimited Actions Figure, DC Super Friends Gift Set and Batmobile.’ But before we get to that, I just need to let you know that I got a little sidetracked when I started writing this post… The new DC Kids Super Hero Creator. WAY too much fun. I mean – come on. Who doesn’t want...
