I’ve been dreaming of home interiors for a very, long time. Since I was a teenager in fact. My tastes probably did change but I knew I wanted a pink kitchen and a cream living room. When I bought my first house-a little terrace, I made my dream come true. While the kitchen cupboards were … [Read more…]
Becoming a new mum is easily the most exciting and most stressful time in any woman’s life. It’s a time of new beginnings and excitement with your new bundle of joy. At the same time, life as a new mum can be tricky when it comes to fashion. You’ve lost some of the baby weight, … [Read more…]
When people who I loved have died, I like to keep something of theirs which will remind me of them all the time. My two grandmothers were the most amazing women. My paternal grandmother was the kindest, gentlest woman and we spent a lot of time together when I was young. She baked weekly when … [Read more…]
As part of our BigJigs ambassadorship, we were recently sent a BigJigs Hay Barn to review. Part of the BigJigs rail range, the hay barn is a must for any little farm enthusiasts out there. After all, how else could the hay bales be stored in the loft? We love that G can watch daddy … [Read more…]

We moved to the farm five years ago. It’s a long story of how our house works which I think I will save for another blog post but, to cut it short, when we arrived, most of the rooms were painted in a neutral white or magnolia. We only had Boo then and I painted … [Read more…]
We are currently the owners of one dinosaur-mad toddler. This child lives and breathes prehistoric with books, toys and endless viewing of Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures. I therefore thought I would share with you five places we have found within an hours drive of the farm in Warrington because, let’s face it, we can’t leave the … [Read more…]
The schools may have only just finished for summer but retailers are already looking ahead to back to school and some savvy parents (not me) may well have already bought school uniform for the next academic year. When I was a child, the school uniform was the boring bit. It was the new pencil case, … [Read more…]
When I had my first baby over six years ago, baby changing bags were quite boring. They did the job but they weren’t anything to look at. With G, I got one to match the pram I had at the time and it was lovely but it was just one big bag with one or … [Read more…]
