We love the Foodies Festival which we have visited quite a few times in summer months. They happen all over the country and we’ve been to both battersea park where they have ‘FEAST’ and when it has been held on Clapham Common. It’s a brilliant day out and the children love it. We like going with friends then the children all dance to the bands and get creative in one of the kitchen tents while the adults get a touch […]
My friend Ellie posted a funny video she’d found on YouTube to her Facebook page. It’s an acted clip of what it would be like if women catcalled men and it made me laugh. It got me wondering about the nature of ‘catcalling’ and how for some reason it is absolutely a thing that men do to women but not something, on the whole, that girls (the ones that I know at least) would partake in the other way around. […]
Last week we were invited to the press preview for the Autumn/Winter collection at Nutmeg. Nutmeg is the clothing brand sold in larger Morrisons supermarkets and it is absolutely excellent from every angle. Great designs, fabulously well made and even better, they all have a rather attractive price tag. Inexpensive but not scrimping on style at all! Key themes run through all the collections which are for babies, children and adults. I also loved the jewellery (the rose earrings and […]
Some say that boys and girls are the same and it’s how we treat them that determines their behaviour and personalities. I beg to differ. On my experience, and of course my opinion can only be based on that, boys and girls are very different indeed and it has absolutely nothing to do with nurture. I didn’t find out if I was having a boy or a girl either time I was pregnant. I instinctively knew what each of them […]
At the beginning of the week I was ready to take my little girl and run off into the distance with her. Upset at school with girls being mean and confidence being knocked has meant her flying start took a turn for the pooper and on Monday we had screaming hysterics like I have never seen before. It actually made me go a bit loony I think and I am more than sure now that the school, who I have […]
I’ve never done the whole monthly box thing. I assumed that they probably weren’t all that good or how can the companies providing them make any money. I have no knowledge of them so was prepared to be wrong but I’ve never thought about signing up to one because in my heart of hearts I thought they’d be a waste of money. However, when asked would I like to try out a new children’s fashion monthly or quarterly box in […]
My Mum has a Miele vacuum cleaner and she absolutely loves it. It was quite expensive but she’s had it for years and is still just as pleased with it as she always was. Top Quality appliances do come with a top quality price tag but then as the age old saying goes, you get what you pay for! I haven’t actually got any Miele appliances and it might be why my oven needs a new element, my fridge freezer […]
Books and words open up a world of imagination that is like nothing else. To be able to read and indulge in that world which is just you and a story is one of the most pleasurable things in life and I’m pleased to say that both of my children are just as interested in stories as I am. I love that they love reading and I also love to read to them which is our bed time routine and […]
Next week we’re going to host a Twitter party to celebrate the month of #Doctober and Doc Mcstuffins!

Will you come and join us? Where? Twitter When? 2nd October 2014 […]
Jimmy decided that for this week’s theme we woud have ‘Rio’! I think he meant the film but I found that quite hard to do so I sort of incorporated all things Rio and added lots of colour, carnival vibes and of course parrots so that it would be a little like the film! We had friends with us this week which made it extra fun and this is what we got up to for our Rio Tea! So that […]
