When we were at The Baby Show last week our eyes were very drawn to the beautiful and colourful array of products at the Funky Giraffe stand. We’d seen them at the last Baby Show just as we were about to do something else, Florence had a quick picture with their giant giraffe and then we had to rush along. I was determined to have a proper look this time! Florence loved the giraffe at the last show but I […]
I started this mini fashion week project on my blog on Monday and today we have reached Day 4 of the week! The project is to show you some pieces from the Little Bird range at Mothercare in a capsule wardrobe style. I have 6 outfits, three for a girl and three for a boy with many of the items being unisex. I have styled each day for a different occasion but the running theme for all the clothes is, in […]

At the start of the week I introduced my mini fashion week on my blog; a capsule wardrobe for girls and another for boys with both collections using quite a few unisex pieces. The clothes are all from Mothercare and from the Jools Oliver designed Little Bird collection. I love the retro prints and designs she uses and I adore how many of the items can be used for a boy or a girl! Today, for Day 3 and my […]

This week I am holding a mini fashion week on my blog and yesterday I kicked off Day 1 introducing the capsule wardrobe from the Spring/Summer 14 Little Bird collection that I will be using.This fabulous range from Mothercare harps back to my own youth when children were dressed like children in beautiful, practical and fashionable clothes that will be featured daily with a new outfit every 24 hours. It is retro but also timeless and I so hope you like the outfits I have put […]
I’m out tomorrow night so we’ve had an early pancake day today instead! I make my pancake mixture by mixing the exact same volumes of egg, plain flour and full fat milk then adding a pinch of salt and I always fry them in butter because they just don’t taste the same otherwise! Today I did baked spinach and ricotta pancakes by mixing a tub of ricotta cheese with a bag of wilted spinach and grating a whole nutmeg into […]
Jimmy’s been really under the weather this weekend and I knew when we got home from my Mum’s this afternoon that we’d be staying in as he’s still not himself enough to go out. This of course makes Florence very bored so to give her something crafty, fun and with a yummy end result my Mum whipped her up some easy fairy cakes to bring home and decorate. My Mum says you just need to remember 4/4/4/2! 4oz of caster […]
I have a few friends who have used the Little Helper Fun Pod, a safe stepping stool for children to reach the kitchen work top, and they have all always raved about them! If we had a bigger kitchen I feel certain I would have been inclined to get one, they just look so helpful and also so much fun for cookery with the little ones! I knew of the company but had no idea they also make other really […]
As far as gadgets and gizmos go I’m often not fond… I think it stems from my childhood when I was bought my so desired ‘Mr Frostie’ only for it to NOT actually make ice slushy drinks meaning my Mum took it back to the shop to be replaced by something entirely different… Most disappointing! Since then I’ve always been a bit skeptical about things doing what they are supposed to do and instead preferred to not use a gadget […]
