We were invited to take a trip down memory lane yesterday, or rather I was and Florence was invited to come and see what childhood was like in my day – the 80’s! At the Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green, a place we love, love , love and visit regularly, Swizzels Matlow were holding a launch party for their new range of sweets, Squashies! Squashies are old f’L’avourites with a modern squashy twist and they’re absolutely yum! I positioned […]

As I’ve spoken about before, space is of a great premium in my house and none more so than in my tiny kitchen! The person who designed it was an absolute moron and we only have one drawer! ONE! And it’s a half width one at that… The cupboard space wasn’t much better thought out either… So, bottom line is that we have to think of genius things to maximise what little space there is! My husband has done a […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! My little big one started nursery for the first time after Christmas and she on the one hand seems to love it and on the other hand doesn’t want to go at all. It’s kind of how I feel about it all too! Part of me is happy that she’s going because it’ll aid her personal development, give her a whole new challenge (which she needs) and also give me time to spend with my little, little one […]

I don’t know about other Mum’s but I’m always searching for that elusive perfect bib! There are lots of styles on the market and I’ve tried an awful lot. Some good, some bad and some which my children have refused to wear! I even at one point made my own tabards for Florence because she was so adamant that she wouldn’t wear anything round her neck. I think it’s that round the neck feeling that both of mine find so […]

When we came back from my Mum’s after Christmas we had so many presents to bring home that we had to leave the Donkey there until my next visit! The Donkey is small but there has to come a limit when you only have a tiny car! Gutted I have to say but at least we have had the Bee to use, buggy pushing would be so much harder without a trusty Bugaboo! Anyway, despite having my Bee (which I […]

Yesterday I wrote a post on the brilliant Asda Baby and Toddler Event and it was while I was doing my Baby and Toddler shopping that I realised they also have a Health and Beauty Event at the same time! I love products and pampering so I have to say I was very drawn and while ordinarily I wouldn’t allow myself to be due to budgeting, because it was Asda, I knew the prices were going to be fabulous so I simply couldn’t […]

It’s time to stock up again on all those baby essentials at Asda! Their Baby and Toddler Event is well and truly in the swing and from now until 10th february they are offering massive savings across the range! Not just on their own brand products but on many premium brand products from food, nappies and skin care to car seats, travel cots and toys! Bargains like Lindam Safety Gates which start at just £15 (I’m a big Lindam fan) and the Play […]

A while back Florence, Jimmy and I made a trip to the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon to see their production of  ‘Too Many Penguins’ which we absolutely loved (read my review here). The theatre, which is the other side of London for us, is dedicated to children’s live entertainment and playing and was an absolute find! We would make the trek over there any time for it is so wholeheartedly worth it! The show we saw was perfect for Florence’s age although Jimmy […]

Florence was born on New Year’s Eve which is fantastic for lots of reasons! One is that everyone is always in party mode but the down side is that everyone is in party mode for something else… At least everyone is happy and jovial but instead of saying happy birthday they say Happy New Year so really and truly she has to stretch her birthday out a bit! I always give her a couple of her presents in the summer […]
