Rent The Dream! Rent The Dream! Jonny and I have been on the property ladder for about 12 years now and though it is fab to have your own front door and bricks and mortar in your very own name (well, with the bank but you know what I mean), there’s something to be said for being in a rental! Our very first place together was rented and after years of shared accommodation I can honestly say that it didn’t […]

George Spring Summer 2020! I LOVE my job for a plethora of reasons and one of them is that I get invited to the most wonderful events like the one I went to tonight… Oh how I adore to see the fashion as promised for summer before anyone else. Even better when said fashion is affordable and from the supermarket, I mean come on… I love clothes but I have three children and absolutely no spare time to shop or […]

Little Tikes X Little Baby Bum Toy Launch! We were always fans of Little Tikes but Little Baby Bum came to us relatively recently courtesy of the Raffster. I think he was about 6 months old when we stumbled, in the middle of the night, through Netflix trying to find something that might entertain him. And then, like a shining beacon of light, there it was, mesmerising him from the word go! Well, he’s just turned two and is still […]

Peppa Pig Live – Peppa Pig’s Best Day Ever Comes To Norwich Theatre Royal! Peppa Pig Live is back with a brand new show: ‘Peppa Pig’s Best Day Ever’ and she’s on tour throughout the UK and Ireland as of NOW! Her 2020 dates will see her, her gang of pals and friend (and host) Daisy visiting a plethora of towns and cities throughout the UK and Ireland with perhaps her most important stop being right here in Norwich (important […]

A Shaun the Sheep Movie; Farmageddon (Out on DVD NOW)! As you will know if you follow us regularly, we are all massive fans of the sheep they call Shaun! How could we not be with Raffie in the house?! I think Raffie might honestly be the biggest Shaun the Sheep fan in the world and because of him we have seen every single episode and the original film countless times over. It’s a good job there’s lots, even better […]

How to Create the Ultimate Space Bedroom for your Child Recently, space themes have had a huge rebirth when it comes down to our children’s bedrooms. I think it must be the re-emergence of the latest Toy Story film. I can’t seem to go anywhere without seeing children on days out carrying a Buzz Lightyear in their toy backpack! Yet, it’s not always easy to think of ideas on how to create a space-inspired bedroom. Surely there’s something better than […]

Small rooms: how do I make them look bigger? If you live in the classic 30’s semi, then you’ll be all too familiar with the annoying small bedroom. If it’s not the bedroom for the unlucky sibling, it’s used as an ‘office’ where things mainly get dumped in. This is usually because it’s just not as appealing as the lovely, spacious open plan room downstairs. However, if you follow some of these tips then there’s no reason it can’t be […]

Childcare.co.uk! There’s a scene in the film ‘Jack and Sarah’ (one of my most favourite films of all time’ where newly widowed dad Jack (Richard E. Grant), is trying to find a nanny for his newborn baby daughter so that he can go back to work. The scene is incredibly funny as he interviews unsuitable nanny after unsuitable nanny in a bid to not make the wrong decision – because as a parent you will know, finding someone else, someone […]

Laundryheap! Other mums will get this… Every single day I do a specific chore in my house, yet despite the relentlessness of it being done daily, it doesn’t ever get finished. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! I am, of course, talking about the blinking laundry and I never, ever find the bottom of the pile – do you?! Occasionally I think I might get to the bottom with a bit of a frenzy on the old washing machine assault but it doesn’t […]

Should I arrange for an inspection on my used car? Being confident in a used car is not always easy. When you buy a new car you are buying one that is fresh, that is new and that hasn’t been driven by anybody else. However, when you buy a used car, there is going to be possible faults and issues that you might not even know about. Unless you are a mechanic, it can be hard to spot whether there […]
