Decorating your very first home is incredibly exciting and along with a serious Pinterest addiction, planning how your home is going to look also fuels lots of TV viewing as you have the perfect excuse to tune into all those interior-focussed TV programmes. Grand Designs, Location, Location, Location, 60 Minute Makeover and of course, the… Read More
As a ‘From Babies With Love’ ambassador Arlo now has a gorgeous print to commemorate his arrival (almost a year ago infact!) to hang in the bedroom when we move. These prints feature the lovely bold postcard style animals that help to signify the profits that FBLW donate to children around the world.
Yellow and grey will probably be out of fashion by the time we eventually move but I really like the colour combination. I actually prefer pink and grey together but wouldn’t want to decorate a room in our home pink! I’ve picked out a few favourites from my late night feed Internet trawling and… Read More
I don’t know about any other mamas who are up in the night feeding hungry babes but I spend a lot of it scrolling through instagram. It’s become a really inspirational place recently, not just for people but for clothing, jewellery and decor items too. Blue Brontide is a relatively new account, and has a… Read More
A little while ago I wrote this post about family dining inspiration, and since then although we’ve not moved yet Habitat sent us the kids table and chairs that I featured, along with a fantastic storage chest and they’ve made a world of difference already, plus they will be perfect in the playroom when we… Read More

I’ve written about a lot of my plans for our new home, annoyingly it looks like we won’t be in till after christmas now as the vendor has changed solicitors half way through the process (who DOES that!?) and is also arguing with someone over the cost of extending the leasehold… but i’m still throwing ideas… Read More
Our current home has a joint kitchen/living room which contains our dining room table, which is a fairly sturdy G plan table that I got on ebay for a steal. It’s a bit battered in places though and we have 2 sets of chairs that don’t match each other to go with it! In our… Read More
This week our mortgage got approved, and the survey carried out on our ‘last decorated in the 70’s’ flat, so with any luck we’ll be in sooner rather than later! The flat will need a lot of work, although we will give ourselves a few months grace before we start on any work, and the get… Read More
