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 […]

This time 9 years ago Jonny and I were in New York for the 4th July celebrations. I have never before (or since) seen fireworks in real life like the amazing display over the Hudson and the celebrations in Manhattan were simply out of this world! We saw Lyle Lovett play in Battery Park and joined in with all the revelry in the City. You know when you see Manhattan on TV in programmes like Sex and the City? Well, […]
I like old fashioned type toys. Anything wooden or that looks hand made and I find it aesthetically pleasing. Often though, the sad fact is, the children prefer the bright colours and simply leave the traditional looking toys behind them. It’s quite nice then, to get a balance between the two. Something modern bright and engaging for children but also something which looks pleasing for the adults! Little Bird Told Me is a company which looking at their brochure, seems […]
A new soft dolly is launching in the UK and will soon be the ‘must have’ toy for little girls everywhere (and indeed boys if they like)! There are four lovely dolls in the new ‘Little Us’ collection and it is suggested that your child chooses the one most like her. Maybe Chloe who likes pink and wears ballet pumps, Amelia the animal fan with her double breasted jacket and shorts, Ruby who is rather cool in her dress and […]
The much loved My Blue Nose Friends launch four new additions this month! We had some lovely Blue Nose Friends to review a while back and the children thought they were adorable. When I was asked if I’d like to see the even newer ones I jumped at the chance! They’re just so sweet and of course collectors items. I mentioned on my last post about them that I have a friend who is an avid collector and also aren’t […]

On Tuesday evening I was invited to meet with the Pampers team and find out some new and exciting news. I wondered what it might be? A new product perhaps? Some updated packaging? I really didn’t have a clue and when I arrived at the venue to find everything was still very much under wraps and I would have to wait a little longer into the evening for the curtain to reveal the exciting news I began to speculate with […]
