Have you heard of Go Ape? The treetop adventure company which has courses all over the country? No? Well you need to… I never thought I’d like it myself, I’ve been to watch a couple of times and although I fancied the zip wires (of which there are many), I suspected I’d be bored by the rest of it and probably terrified! Leaping from platforms high up in trees, swinging into nets and having to climb my way up to the […]

When we moved into our flat it was in a right old state and we had the weirdest flooring ever! Each room seemed to have a different height and the skirting boards started half way up the wall in the living room, it was very odd! Sorting out the floor made the biggest difference and changed everything; it made it look and feel like a proper home for the first time. I knew to make it look brilliant we had […]

I have just realised that this is the month which marks 5 years since I have had an unbroken night’s sleep. FIVE years! This time 5 year’s ago I got pregnant with Florence and pretty much from the start of my pregnancy I would wake up in the night at some point. I didn’t have a bad pregnancy at all, only minor things like heart burn and the odd bad back but my sleep was definitely affected and then when […]

Florence is Disney crazy! She doesn’t even want to watch a movie if the castle and fireworks don’t kick it off and when it comes to shopping, well! She’d literally spend hours perusing the shelves in the Disney store! I’ve never seen anything twice at the cinema before now but since it came out I seem to have taken Florence THREE times to see ‘Frozen’ and we’ve already bought it on DVD awaiting the 31st March when we can pick […]

With spring comes a lot of new baby arrivals; lambs are bouncing in fields and chicks are chirping… And this year there’s a new baby on the block from spring to rival them all in cuteness! Lalaloopsy Babies have arrived and being Lalaloopsy fans in general we’re more than a little bit smitten! We were sent Crumbs Sugar Cookie who is super sweet, she loves fresh cookies when it’s time to eat. She’s always happy and she’s never sad, and if […]

I am very interested in children’s fashion, I love to photograph it, write about it and most of all I love to get my children involved in it. I like them to like what they are wearing and have a hand in choosing. Sometimes the results aren’t what I’d have chosen to put together myself but it’s all about being yourself and owning your own style which I want my children to be confident with. Florence is very creative and […]

All week I have been posting about the Little Bird collection for Spring/Summer 2014! Mothercare and Jools Oliver just know exactly what I like when it comes to children’s clothes and it’s been a pleasure of a blogging project since I launched this mini fashion week on Monday! I have got to use a capsule of some of the collection to create 6 different looks for boys and girls and often using the same pieces for both! I don’t know […]

This is mini fashion week on my blog; it launched on Monday and every day since then I have posted about a favourite outfit from the Little Bird range at Mothercare. Using the same pieces from the Spring/Summer 14 collection in a capsule wardrobe fashion, I have created six different outfits but there are so many more to be put together using the same items! Today’s choice is for Florence and I think it’s so pretty, it’s a little lady’s […]

Florence has been asking me for ages if she can have packed lunches at school but I’m far too lazy to agree to that! I have said to her that she can have packed lunches when we go out but at school it will have to be hot dinners and in order to make her ‘going out’ packed lunches really special we have got a really special lunch box to pack it all in! It’s from The Beverage Bag Company […]
