Clothes Plasters. As Moth Patches. Oh YES.
Hee hee! Brilliant! When Suzi from Twisted Twee sent me these ‘clothes plasters’ I thought “Erm… What?” I did. But then I dug out my favourite summer cardigan… and remembered that last summer I snagged it on a door handle, and created a small hole on the pocket. Bah. Then I remembered these ‘clothes plasters’, the Moth Patches. So I tried it. Ironing on the woven patch took, oh, at LEAST...
Summer Slippers
I know, it’s not normally the season for talking about slippers. But I have to tell you about these! Lets face it, The Great British Summer is shaping up much as it usually does. Meh. And I’ll be honest- I get chilly feet even in summer when its grey and damp. But of course big thick warm winter cosies are just too much even for my feet in July. And in stepped Ruby & Ed (quite our fave people when it comes to...
Vintage Toddler Nightdress
Sometimes, a girls doesn’t want to wear pyjamas. Or even (in our house) Jymamas. Sometimes a girl wants a pretty nightie. Sometimes a girl wants a pretty nightie that’s not white and fairy-like. If you should happen to possess one of those girls (*eyeroll*), you might want to take a meandering saunter over see this fab range on Amazon. Because they sent us this rather adorable vintage-styled nightie by Powell Craft…...
Goggles. Oh yes.
When we went to France, I took with me two children who, whilst enjoying being in the pool, were rather hesitant about the whole actual swimming deal.

So, what happens if you throw a couple of pairs of goggles ta them? I’ll show you....
ScuttleBug! (no, we hadn’t heard of them either)
I knew the Scuttlebug trike was going to be a winner as soon as I took the box out of the postage wrapping. My little one started hopping about with excitement, squealing in that ear-splitting charming toddler way. Thankfully the scuttlebug literally took moments to be up and ready for her to start using (amazing how fast those squeals become tears!). She scooted backwards a lot. Then realised it went forward too… and she was...
Brittany Ferries – would you?
Well, yes we would, actually. When we booked our Keycamp holiday, the provided travel arrangements were a straightforward Dover-Calais crossing. Which is fine, of course. Except it’s a 3+ hour drive for us along the cost to Dover. Then the crossing. Then another 6 or so hours back down the length of France to where we wanted to be. We know from last year that this is bad enough going out – but at the end of the holiday,...
