Creative Fabrica – The Teacher Clubcard! In the midst of lock-down, whilst trying to home-school our own children, my husband was finishing off his teacher training, after a career change which saw him finally doing the job he’s always wanted to do. It was a strange time for everyone of course, but for a trainee teacher, unable to go into the class room and instead working remotely from home and teaching on line (all whilst trying to learn on line […]
Scoot, Scoot, Away! There’s never been a better time to get yourself a scooter, what with them becoming so blooming popular in the last few years! You can even hire e-scooters in most towns and cities which is great but for my eye, it’s all about the proper scooting and using it as a fun way of exercise! Raffie recently got a two wheeled scooter for his birthday which was EXACTLY what he wanted after watching his big brother perform […]
Protect Your Family! Insurance is something we often put off because firstly, it feels like a cost we can do without, and secondly, especially when it comes to life insurance, it’s a topic no one is fond of talking about. But when you have a family it’s imperative to insure not just your home, your car and your contents (I mean honestly, a few pounds a month compared to the cost of a brand new washing machine right now and […]
Zita West – Pregnancy and Postpartum! I’m no stranger to pregnancy having had four children and I have both loved and hated being pregnant at various times. It’s a real strain at times and though we may love to waft about barefoot and at one with nature, it’s not always that easy. Your body may be designed to carry a baby but it can be very frustrating all the same. Your whole lifestyle changes of course and on top of […]
Interior Design Advice for a Kid’s Room For a child, there is no space more important than the bedroom. This is their refuge and the only area that is truly their own, which is why it is so important to get the decoration right in this room. Of course, kids’ interests’, hobbies and tastes change seemingly by the week, which is why it is best to opt for neutrals to avoid having to redecorate every year! Read on to find […]
Dancing Leopard (what a name for a clothing business, definitely makes you want to look right?!) sell the most gloriously colourful items, from pyjamas to dresses with pockets and, as you will know if you know me, I’m rather a big fan of the jumper dress! When choosing, my go to would always be black (which this one comes in too by the way), but I opted to be daring and bold and went for the Maggie Dress (£55) in […]
Buy A Gift For Christmas! Making Christmas present purchases for adults is really quite easy, even if you don’t know someone well. Everyone loves a candle and as long as you find out what their tipple is, a bottle of something is always going to go down well. Christmas whisky gifts go down VERY well in my house so with little thought the right item is easily procured. The tricky bit is when buying for children, choosing for kids can […]
Orchard Toys Christmas Eve Box! I’m not sure where the idea for a Christmas Eve Box came in but we very firmly embraced it in our house and now, of course, it’s here to stay! We generally do a book, some pyjamas, a small stocking filler and a sweet treat so nothing big really but it builds the excitement and it’s the last offering from our elves before the big day and FC comes to visit. It also sits well […]
Friday Night Treat Tea – Sheep Theme! This week’s Friday Night Treat Tea didn’t go according to plan… I think we can safely say I’ve done better! However, with a sheep theme (because Posie just LOVES sheep) and some semblance of sheep on the party table the little two really appreciated it all anyway! Cream cheese sheep sandwiches in a flower meadow of leaves and carrots, a hot chocolate sheep (the face, oh my!), a cake pop sheep (I needed […]
TRY SURI! The SURI toothbrush has been presented to me at a couple of press shows now and, I have to admit, with a shrug I thought yeah, but how good can it really be? I’m sure it’s great,, I’d decided, but better than any other electric toothbrush, of which I have had varying successes with? Hmm, I wasn’t sure! I’d been very kindly gifted one of them but, probably because of my ambivalence, I’d left it sitting in my […]
