Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom is very popular in our house. We have a lot of their toys-Boo got the Castle for Christmas last year and it has seen hours of playing since then. There is one item thought that we have not been able to find-Holly’s Magic Wand. However, I was recently accepted to…
It’s Sunday morning. Millions of people are sitting in their beds reading the Sunday newspapers and drinking coffee. Okay, maybe not parents. They’re sitting on sofas, watching their 316th episode of Paw Patrol already, wishing coffee came in an introveinus drip. Well, however you are enjoying your morning brew, a culinary craze is taking off…
If you’ve visited McDonald’s recently with the kids, you can’t help but to have noticed the new toys in the Happy Meal boxes. Gone are the plastic, musical toys that get left on your bedside table and go off all night, leaving said parent wondering where the noise is coming from (just me then) and,…
1. The maternity section is still the first section you go to in Next sales. 2. You need a new pram/pushchair. You should go for a simple umbrella fold effort but instead? You are looking at beauties which could easily be adapted for two small, none-walking children. 3. You have kept every item of clothing…
Since becoming a parent, you can’t help but feel empathy for the hundreds of children featured on the news every year. Children in war-torn countries. Children who are starving. As a mother myself, I know I would do anything for my children but to even try to imagine how the mothers around the world must…
We love all things farm here. Living on one does not dim any appeal of farming items-from clothing and toys to home wares. I always get a bit excited when I find a new place to find home ware and I recently stumbled upon Sophie Allport. Think country living looks with high street prices. I…
I’ve stopped crying on my way home from dropping Boo off at school now. It did go on for a good week and a half but I’ve pulled myself together. So we’ve got through the first month and this is what I’ve deduced from school. 1 They return home with a funny smell about them….
So here it is. The first ever #WhatIMade. Are you excited? I am. This is the linky for everything you have made: cooking, baking, crafts, things you have made with children- anything really as long as you made it. The other good thing about it is the things you have made don’t necessarily have to…
We don’t celebrate Halloween. You can read why here but despite Boo attending a Catholic school, it seems they turn a blind eye to the meaning behind it and are throwing a Halloween disco. Not one to deprive her, I decided bats were the least Halloween-like because we actually have them in our garden so…
There is one thing I have been dreading since we went to school at the beginning of September and that is the head lice email. It just fills me with dread. I never had them as a child and I don’t know why, but I think any child under, say five, is just too young…
