My third Christmas trip of the day today was to the ever beautiful and deliciously tasteful White Company to see what their Christmas 2013 offerings are going to be. As with everything and everyone this effortlessly cool it was laid back, eclectic and just had the mellowest vibe possible. Of course there wasn’t a hair out of place in their furnishings, decorations and ideas but it’s done in such a way that it LOOKS as if no effort has gone […]

I have a few brands of children’s toys that I really, really like and could almost guarantee that they will go down well with the children. Sassy Baby is one of them and we have been lucky enough to have been sent some super new bath toys to try out from their new range. The bath toys have always gone down well in the past so I’ve no doubt in my mind that these ones will too. They always work […]

Yesterday I was lucky enough to be invited to the Christmas In July event run by Evolution PR. Traditionally, retailers and PR companies on their behalf advertise their Christmas wares in July and invite members of the press to come and preview them. As a blogger, the invite has been extended and I too now have got to see in advance what will come up this yule tide. I went to a few last year and they were super exciting […]

Holidays for Jonny and I in the past have always included games of cards. We don’t play any other time really but when on holiday we, like a little old couple, have always settled down with a drink and a few hands of ‘Knock Out Whist’ or ‘Sevens’ (the only card games we know) of a holiday evening! That was before we had children of course, they don’t seem keen to sit still quietly sipping a drink while they’re parents relax for […]

As far as I can make out everyone with children is familiar with the ‘That’s not my..’ book range by Usborne! Children love them and as each book follows the same format with a topic such as ‘Tiger’, ‘Robot’ or ‘Fairy’ for example, we see on each page why the topic doesn’t belong to us with a touchy feely sample before the last page where we find the one that does belong to us. ‘That’s not my Monkey’ with his […]

Yesterday saw Florence stand at the kitchen worktop for four hours doing arts and crafts. I kid you not! Lots of my friends say their children get bored after only a few minutes but give Florence her ‘making bag’ which is sequins, glue, glitter, blank cards and paper and she’s well away! I wanted us to have a quiet day at home as we’re going to be really busy in the next two weeks but she wasn’t keen so I […]

When I was little there were a few toys I absolutely couldn’t wait to get my hands on. Things that I remember being super popular with everyone and I was lucky because I do remember getting some of them! I remember getting my pound puppy who was awesome and then I remember the birthday I FINALLY got a Mr Frosty after years of asking (He didn’t work and had to go back – I was very upset) and I very […]
