Parenthood, Lifestyle & Me!
Receiving a stocking from Santa was the best part of Christmas for me when I was small. As an adult I still get that real excitement when putting together presents for my children’s stockings. I have found some lovely gifts this year that I will be adding to their stocking, here is what is on offer. …
I find choosing presents for my children as they are getting older such a challenge. This year they have only asked for 2 items each (cheap Christmas for me!). As well as finding gifts for my children I also have the task of shopping for family and friends with young children. This year’s Children’s Christmas …
Keeping Christmas simple this year. I don’t know what happens to you when you have children but you just want the best of the best for them and this includes the perfect Christmas. We’ve had lots of wonderful Christmases, the children have had a big pile of presents, we’ve gone through all of the Christmas …
Pamper plans for Christmas – how silly does that sound? I don’t know about you but, I think Christmas is the perfect opportunity to glam up and treat yourself to a manicure. I realise that this might not seem a luxury to most, however for me this is a massive treat. I do paint my …
I’ve woken up with the worst mum guilt today. Actually it started yesterday, I hate to say it but I was so glad when it was bedtime for my two. They are both at an age where Amelie has the attitude of a teenager and Charlie is in the “silly stage” of growing up. Both …

This past week we have had some horrendous weather in Somerset, from torrential rain to thunder and lightning. It’s been mild then freezing, I just can’t keep up with it. I’ve mostly been wearing my Joules raincoat and Chelsea boots as a staple, I thought it would share what else mama wore this week. Jumper: Primark …
It’s the most exciting time of the year and I’m kicking off the Festive Season with a fabulous Advent Calendar Gift Guide! Advent calendars have come such a long way since I was a little girl in the 80s. Even though I absolutely loved the chocolate calendars, the one that I remember the most is …
Who else is feeling super festive? November is here and I cannot wait to get into the Christmas spirit – yes, I can finally talk about Christmas without offending someone. Actually, I was talking about Christmas in August so who cares. Since moving house in September I’ve not really had time to publish a Favourites …
