CAT Toys! I rarely say yes to toy reviews these days so when I do it’s for something very social that I couldn’t resist. It was one of these yes days when I agreed to have a play with and report back on our thoughts for the new range of CAT toys – I knew they’d be a hit with Raffie and I wanted to see how he played with them; would he use the trucks for their primary purpose […]
4 Gifts To Send A New Mummy ( That Aren’t Baby Grows) Now, don’t get me wrong, babygrows are all well and good. After all, the more you have the less laundry you will need to do. However, when you become a mum everything is really focused on the baby, and well, it can feel as if you get a little bit lost in the mix. The good thing is that a thoughtful gift or two designed with mum in […]
How did the online estate agents fare during Covid-19? When the initial Covid-19 lockdown period began in March 2020, the property industry effectively ground to a halt from 23 March – 13 May 2020 amidst predictions of a 10% decline in house prices and an industry wide crisis with house sales falling by 90% from early March to the end of April 2020. Those affected included estate agents, developers, contractors, removals companies, surveyors and many more businesses who are part […]
Holidaying in a Bailey of Bristol 6 berth motorhome With the easing of lockdown last summer allowing a little bit of travel within the UK but not permitting holidays abroad, staycationing had never been more popular. Cottages, hotels, Air BnB’s and practically all bookable places to stay were snapped up within days and it was slim pickings for a trip away from home if you hadn’t been quick off the mark. As if the availability hadn’t made things hard enough […]
SnapWatch – The Happy Snappy Way To Tell The Time! My boys are both very into the idea of having a watch but I wouldn’t say either one of them copes particularly well with a watch. Jimmy has one with a step counter on it but he finds it hard to do the strap up meaning he leaves it off most of the time and Raffie hasn’t yet been old enough (or with big enough wrists) to find one perfect […]
Your ChocFace Or Mine?! Lockdown has proven we have hade to get creative when it comes to celebrating – from parties (thank you Facebook Portal for your many family quiz night allowances), to entertainment (we had an army themed day for Jimmy’s 8th birthday which was amazing), to gifting (let’s face it, no shops and we have HAD to shop on line). And for the large part we have realised we can do it, we don’t HAVE to go to […]
Lockdown Diary #3 – Week Nine! Well, I think week nine will be over and out for this particular lockdown diary and with hope that I never have to begin another one. I documented lockdown number one from our family perspective, week by week, until the children returned to school and because they were still in education for the second I didn’t feel the need to write. When the government closed schools for the third national lockdown I needed to […]
What To Buy A New Mum For Mother’s Day! Since having Posie a month ago we have been spoiled rotten by our friends and family. Flowers, gifts of food made for us, chocolate for the big kids and lots of lovely things for Posie too. People have been so thoughtful and so generous it has actually made me well up on many occasions and the gifts, well, they just keep on coming – we are all feeling so lucky! So, […]
Advantages of Buying Alloy Wheels When you are kitting out your car, you may think that choosing alloy wheels is the extravagant, flashy option, and if your budget is tight, you may think that cheaper steel wheels are the better choice for you – after all, you have been told that steel is stronger! However, do not be too hasty to turn your back on the beautiful alloy wheel options available without knowing all the pros and cons of the […]
Dearest Posie – You Are One Month Old! Dearest Posie, You are one month old already – how did that happen? One month ago you literally burst out like a little rocket and we’ve not been able to imagine how we didn’t have you before that ever since! You are such a huge part of our now very big family and so loved by us all – your big brothers and sister have been unbelievable at adapting to having one […]
