We spend a lot of time in PJ’s in our house, which suits us all quite well I think! Now that Arlo is walking sleepsuits with feet can be restrictive – he either falls over in them if they’re on the snug side or if he’s running on the smooth kitchen floor, or if they’re the next size up his…
If you have recently become a new parent, then it can be somewhat hard to believe that your little one will one day be old enough to head off to nursery. It is one of the most important choices that a parent can make for their child, yet a lot of us are completely unprepared when it comes to…
Flooring is such a vital part of any room, it’s far more permanent than how you choose to decorate your walls and far harder to change. Therefore it’s really important to choose the right sort of flooring for each room in your home. I’ve put together some things that you should think about when deciding on how to floor your…
Athena either shows a lot of care and love for Arlo, or completely blanks him out when he’s having a hissy fit. Generally when we’re in public if he is crying or upset she will try and distract him, offer him her toy/some food or play peekaboo with him. Other times he’s be screaming his head off and she’ll say…
It’s not often that two of your favourite brands join up and collaborate, and even less likely when one of those brands is TotsBots, who make the nappies that grace my boy’s bottom daily! However it has happened, TotsBots have joined forces with Joules, that quintessentially british brand to create a new print for their EasyfitStar nappy range and it…
Mauritius is a place that has been on my ‘to visit’ list since a girl I used to go to school with showed some photos from her holiday there at ‘show and tell’, gorgeous beaches, sun, amazing animals and lots of places to explore. Its an Island I would love to spend time on, though with two kids it would…
Last Saturday we spent a lovely morning at the Brighton Open Air Theatre (or BOAT) watching Pitschi which was one of the performances happening throughout the fortnight long Starboard Festival. It was such a great opportunity for the children to experience live theatre in a non stuffy environment, where they weren’t restricted to sitting in their seats and keeping quiet!…
This months Look Fantastic Beauty Box is definitely my favourite so far, I said last month I wish there were more beauty/makeup products and low and behold there are! Three full sized products too this month, including a new release from Benefit! The #LFSummerLovin is the perfect companion now it looks like summer might actually be making an appearance!
These last couple of weeks have been a bit crap, truth be told. After the kids recovered from chicken pox I came down with tonsillitis (of the ‘chronic’ kind whatever that may be according to my GP when I finally found time to go and see her!) but started with hot and cold flushes so extreme I thought I was…
If you’ve just got the one child then it is fairly likely that their baby book is filled out completely, if you’ve got two or more then there is a high chance that these children’s books aren’t quite as filled in as they should be. Finding time to record memories is hard enough as it is but is something that…
In my mind there is nothing more quintessentially ‘childhood toy’ than dolls house. I’ve always dreamt of getting Athena and Arlo a huge mansion with several storeys and rooms full of miniature furniture, carefully wallpapered interiors and tiny little lights and curtains at the windows. Who am I kidding, it would be for my benefit as much as it would…
My children are definitely grazers rather than three square meals a day types so I tend to always have a selection of little snacks in my bag to keep them happy when we’re out and about. OxoTot recently sent me some bits to help keep Arlo happy with a snack to hand, and something for Athena too!
