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, […]

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 […]
The Fine Bedding Company – Night Owl Duvet! Raffie has just learned to say “I love you” and understand its meaning. He constantly says to me “I love you so much Mummy” and when I say “I love you too” he responds with “And you love Daddy” – Yes I assure him. “And you love Florence and Jimmy and me and Posie” – Yes I agree again. And then he always finishes with “And you love your bed!” – Which […]

Mash & Co – Laser Cut Gifts! My older two are quite artistic; I would say they both really enjoy drawing and making things and find great enjoyment out of crafting too. Florence has always been that way but for Jimmy it did take a little while. I remember him being about Raffie’s age and he simply was not interested. At. All! Then one day he drew this penguin and it was amazing. Not just amazing compared the the really […]
