Teddy Eva Scents! I would say I’m more a lick and a spit kind of gal when it comes to the cleaning, Mrs Hinch I am not. I’ve got four children and really the focus is doing what I can so that we don’t drown in the mountains of laundry, making sure everyone has clean clothes, clean bedding, that the floors are vacuumed and the sides are clean. I rarely have time for more than a flick of the Pledge […]
Creating Cosy! Our living room is the cosiest room in the house, it has the fire which is what really creates the invitation to snuggle up together as a family yet regardless, we just don’t sit in there that much. I loved decorating this room and choosing the sofas which I envisaged we would all spend much time on but the reality was that eventually, once everything was in situ, aside from on very cold evenings when the fire did […]
How To Lower Your Heating Bills! It’s the question on everyone’s lips isn’t it, how can we lower our heating bills? Now that the energy suppliers have rocketed their prices we are all having to cut down on traditional heating because whatever our pockets, it’s blooming expensive and with a family of six, with 4 children in the house, we are having to be very creative in the ways in which we try to make sure our home is as […]
Take A Load Off With Big Bertha! Did you know? It’s thought that bean bags were invented by ancient Egyptians as a place to sit and play games. They date back to some time around 2000 B.C meaning they are literally thousands of years old but who’d have thunk it? The Egyptians would fill small leather pouches with dried beans or pebbles and these would be the first pews of a bean bag nature and while we’ve come on in […]
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 […]
Wychwood Art! Choosing the right art for my home has been a bit of an ongoing saga and one which my husband and I don’t always agree on. He’s very much a buy whatever and bung it on the wall, whereas I like to be more thoughtful. He doesn’t want the walls bare and takes the attitude that something is better than nothing while I am very much of the opinion that the art we have has to be special, […]
Counting Sheep Is So Last Century! How do you get to sleep? According to some philosophies the age old notion of counting sheep is said to date back to Medieval times when shepherds who used communal grazing land would have to keep track of their own sheep, this counting them all before bed each night. I think we’ve moved on a bit from there and I’m sure even shepherds have better methods to remedy when they find themselves awake at […]
