Looking for a new home is stressful enough but house hunting for the perfect family home that ticks all the boxes is on another level. I wish this was a post about helpful hints and tips for moving with children, maybe that will come in the future. We knew we were going to have to move house when Charlie came…
Gin for the win, they say! What better way to find out what your tipple is than to attend a festival especially for gin lovers. I’ve only ever been to a chilli festival in my time so I was excited to have been invited to The Gin Festival 2018 held in Torquay, Devon. This is the second gin festival that…
Finding the perfect shoe can be a challenge. As I’ve gotten older I have realised I need staples in my wardrobe, I don’t go “out out” anymore but I might have the odd date night, dinner out with the girls or a wedding/celebration to attend and I need a smart shoe. I’m a big fan of nude coloured shoes especially…
It is the last day of the Easter holidays and my thoughts have turned towards getting organised for the return to school. By the end of each term belongings become tatty and written on nametags have worn off. My Nametags provide the best labels, they have a huge selection of designs for you and your children to pick from. There…
Whenever we plan a day out as a family to an attraction it always rains, and last weekend was no exception.

When we received Lucy Sing and Dance, Amelie and Charlie were so excited and couldn’t wait to unbox her. With the latest version of Lucy, you can download a free app for added fun. Of…
What on earth do you buy a 4 year old boy who is into everything?? Well, I’m here to help out, I have a selection of great gift ideas. Hallmark I’m starting with a different kind of gift first as I think this is just as important as a present. Cards – you have to get it right! Hallmark have…
We started Easter day with an egg hunt around the house which the children absolutely loved. They received chocolate eggs, little toys and treats. We decided to go to Bicton Park as we have a membership and there was an Easter hunt on. I expected to pay extra and for it to be a bit naff, but it was free,…
Although it may still be freezing and raining, spring has certainly arrived. Whenever the seasons change I like to go through the children’s wardrobes to see what still fits and what we need to donate or sell. I have a big bag of clothes from the previous year in the loft full of summer clothes that could be worn during…
There has always been mystery and magic associated with fairies and I remember being fascinated when I was a little girl. Now I have a little girl, who is equally as curious as I was and loves all things fairies. Amelie has a dream catcher fairy who is hanging above her bed, we talk to her every night before sleepy…
