I’ve recently become a bit of a Cornish Daisy fan. I started using their bibs, both dribble and feeding and have fallen in love with them. I adore the fact that they are hand-made, they’re British (made on a small holding in Cornwall) and most importantly I’ve been very happy with the way they work. The dribble bibs are great because they have this lovely cowl like effect around the neck meaning that nothing is stiff or uncomfortable, they’re soft and luxurious while being […]
I was asked if I would like to review the e-cloth kitchen pack for my blog which is an environmentally friendly cleaning cloth and promises you need no more than water to rid surfaces of grease, grime and bacteria. Not sure I really understand how water alone can be sufficient enough to get rid of bacteria but according to the people at e-cloth, it is! This is what they have to say: With 480,000 fibres per cm2, e-cloths have enormous cleaning power. The act […]
Today is Mother’s Day and I just wanted to say have a Happy Day to all the other Mummy’s out there! For me, Mother’s Day is to thank my own Mum for just being her and say a little ‘Happy Day’ skywards for my Grandma too… I don’t really think about myself being a Mother and celebrating me being one feels very old! I just KNOW Florence is going to make me one of her wonderful cards and that’s all […]
Everyone that knows me knows that I’m an actress – even though I only work very sporadically! I take any opportunity I can get to perform, it’s my true passion! I’m often googling auditions and the like and recently I heard about this great film that is being made and guess what? They want us normal Mum’s to be the stars of it! You don’t have to have any acting training as this is real life stuff they’re after, they just […]
I think I’m a fair person. If I find something good I will always write positively but I’m also prepared to say when I find something bad. I do a lot of reviews on my blog and I don’t consider myself to be fair weather with any of them. I don’t cherry pick either, if something needs addressing then I will definitely highlight the points that need improvement. I am really saddened though, that I have to mention about our […]
The power of the written word was displayed in full force yesterday as the world said goodbye to dear little Matilda Mae. Never have I been more sure that this internet and Twitter thing is more powerful than any news medium that has gone before it. Jennie, David, their families and Matilda Mae’s story has touched the hearts of so many people, people who never met her, people who didn’t even know of her while she was on this earth and people all over […]
I think I might just have nurtured a new craze for my little one! Floppet, I think I might just have nurtured a new craze for me too! Florence has just started nursery and every morning she chooses one of her many bags (she’s her mother’s daughter) to take with her; filled with spare clothes, a hat for if it gets cold and more often than not a toy… Just last week she took her watch in her bag and […]
I always take great pride in what my children wear. I wouldn’t say I go over the top and spend a fortune but I like them to look lovely. I like them to look like children and my preferred style for them is an old-fashioned classic look. I do lots of shopping on-line and have a few favourite websites that I like to choose children’s clothes from. I often find that you can buy lots of lovely things for girls […]
I’m always blogging about what a tiny flat we have and how much ‘STUFF’ we have to fit in it! The thing is, we are a family of four with just as much stuff as any other family of four but we only have two bedrooms… We’re just starting to think about moving as our mortgage agreement is up for renewal and I have finally decided that we HAVE to de-clutter! If we want to sell this flat then the […]
I saw my little sister the other day and she asked me where I’d got my coat. She thought it was new and really liked it. It was in fact from ‘New Look’ but a good few years ago and I realised I’ve not had anything new, clothes wise, for ages now! Well, not unless it had ‘maternity’ written in the label or came from the supermarket! I used to love shopping and in particular shopping for jackets and coats. […]
