Photowall Makes The Difference! I’ve been slowly decorating Posie’s bedroom with lots of special pieces, collecting them over time from before she was born knowing there was no rush because she was unlikely to be sleeping in there any time soon. I mean, this is still the case of course but I think I’ve finally finished her room so that it’s ready for her when she does need a space of her own. Over time I’ve saved things like the […]
Encouraging Your Child’s Love Of The Outdoors Spending too much time indoors is a worry for today’s parents, and sometimes it can be hard to get the kids to put their tablet or phone down and get outside to enjoy the fresh air! They can forget just how fuin going on an ‘adventure’ can be, especially if there’s nothing really for them to enjoy except a bench and a few flowers. So maybe it’s time to show them just how […]
Wrap Up Warm With The Tartan Blanket Company! We are big fans of The Tartan Blanket Company and have been buying from them (and, lucky us, working with them) for a couple of year’s now! I was introduced to the brand via a press show and fell in love with their ethical manufacturing and excellent quality. The wools are so soft, even the recycled ones of which I’ve bought blankets for family to make Christmas picnic gifts extra special. When […]

Friday Night Treat Tea – Under The Sea Theme! This week we did an under the sea theme for the Friday Night Treat Tea – all super easy things but with a bit of a wow which the little two loved! It was ham and cheese Jus-Roll croissants with cheese and ham inside, rolled to look like little crabs with claws and eye ball picks I made with googlies and cocktail sticks, blue smoothie with a sea theme painted on […]
Five Things To Do With Your Child Before They Start University If you have a child who is about to go off to university, you might feel mixed emotions. On the one hand, you’re probably excited for them as they embark on this new adventure. But on the other hand, you might be feeling a bit sad at the prospect of them moving away and starting their own lives. Either way, there are some things that you can do with […]
Friday Night Treat Tea – Spider Man Themed! I used to do a Friday night treat tea for the big two when Florence started school and it somehow waned a bit over the years but I’ve brought it back now that Raffie is in reception. Most Friday nights I will do some fun, themed food and make a little party for them, because… I like it! I can go a bit overboard making my life hard though so I’ve set […]
It’s Not All About The Packaging, But It Helps! When looking at packing products we’ve learned so much over the last few decades. We know we have to be sustainable where possible to protect our environment and as a consumer, choosing products based on their style of packing is important to me. Our carbon footprint dents in almost everything we do from boiling the kettle (buzz word now, thanks Johnson), to taking a shower, going on holiday, stepping inside a […]
Dearest Raffie – You’re At Big School Now! Dearest Raffie, You’re at big school now and after your first day of 2.5 hours settling in you came home having loved it! Mummy on the other hand is rather bereft of your fine company, or, rather, the knowing that I will lack your company far more this week. For the first week you only did four mornings but niw it’s onto full days and the reality of a full day in […]
Space Saving! Space saving is always a real bonus in a large household like mine. If I can find a really great way of maximising a room, so that it can function as more than just the ordinary, then all the better. I grew accustomed to this being part and parcel of my household requirements living in a two bed flat in London with two small children and though now, living in Norfolk, we have far more space, we have […]
