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 […]

One of the most important things you can do to make life easier for yourself and your child is to create a safe and welcoming environment. Here are some tips to help get you started. Opt for the right window treatment When you have a newborn, getting […]
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 […]
Back To School – September 2022! The summer holidays are really over and here we are back to the grind in what seems like the blink of an eye. I say “back to school” but of course, for Raffie, this is his first year at school ever and his debut into the school scene. I very definitely have more than a little something in my eye for I’m not the Mum who’s pleased to see them go back, I’m not […]
Norwich Castle Museum 2022! Yep, here I am talking about Norfolk Museums again because frankly, they’re so good they deserve another spot on the blog! Norfolk Museums are ten across the county and with a Norfolk Museum’s Pass (which we have) you can visit unlimited times to all of them for 12 months at the wonderfully inclusive price of £101.70 for a family consisting of two adults and as many children as you have. Yes, you heard that right, as […]
