Galentine’s Day Gifts
Valentine’s Day has been given a whole new meaning over the past couple of years, we now have Galentine’s Day. Not just for couples, we now celebrate our girl friends, sisters, mothers and anyone else who is close to our hearts. Not to leave anyone out I’ve found some amazing gifts for your girls this Galentine’s Day. Loungewear is all we are seeing right now, and why not. We are in a national lockdown, spending all our days pottering about the house – we need comfort right!? From fluffy slippers to oversized joggers and of course a good old mug thrown in, these treats are perfect for gifting to…

Christmas Gifts – Children’s Favourites
I cannot remember the last time I posted a monthly favourites post. I was looking back through archived blog posts recently and forgot how much I loved writing about what the children were loving. So I thought I’d bring back the monthly faves, starting with Amelie and Charlie’s list. I also thought as we are on the Christmas countdown, some of these items may give inspiration for presents. MUD KITCHEN We had the most amazing Spring/Summer weather here in the UK this year. Yes, everything else was (and still is) up in arms but Mother Nature truly spoilt us. My children lived outside for the majority of the time, playing…

Father’s Day: Lockdown Gift Ideas
Father’s Day – a tricky one for me and I feel a little bit of a fraud writing a post suggesting gifts for Dads. Why? Well, I didn’t have a Dad growing up, it was my Sister, my Mum and me. So I really do not know what having that Father figure in your life is all about. What I will say is, I had the BEST Mum in the world to have brought my sister and me up as a single parent. She was both Mum and Dad, I do send her a text every year saying “Happy Father’s Day!”. There was only one thing I wanted when I…

Mother’s Day Gifts: All Budgets
Mother’s Day is only a few weeks away, how did this happen!? I think I say it every year but time really does go so quickly.

Whether you are panic buyer or a precise planner (like me), this guide has got you covered. There are gift ideas to cater for all budgets to assist in finding something fabulous for all Mums, Sisters, Nans, Aunties and even if you just fancy a treat…

Little Brian Paint Sticks 2-in-1 Art Station
If your children are anything like mine, they love nothing more than pulling all the arts, crafts and paints out of the cupboard to create a masterpiece. Over the years we have acquired quite a selection of crafting materials from pavement chalks to googly eyes and lots of glitter glue (eeek!), you name it I’ve bought it. LITTLE BRIAN ART STATION With thoughts of Christmas on the horizon I’m sure you are all getting organised and searching for ideas for pressies. This is certainly one for the top of the Christmas list and I guarantee your children will absolutely love getting creative with the Little Brian Paint Sticks 2-in-1 Art…

Adopt A Donkey This Valentine’s Day with The Donkey Sanctuary
Mend a broken heart this Valentine’s Day. When you think of love and broken hearts you would not associate the two with animals. This is not the case and this Valentine’s Day The Donkey Sanctuary are raising awareness of the fantastic work that goes into the care and wellbeing of the donkeys. For me this campaign is very relevant, I used to visit the Donkey Sanctuary a lot when I lived in Devon. It is a brilliant place to take the children, I remember what it was like before the fantastic cafe was built. There is a caring and easy feel to the grounds, the donkeys are in reach and…

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide 2019
Valentine’s Day – love it or hate it, it is everywhere! From soppy cards to huge teddy bears, there are gifts of all sorts. Personally, we as a couple don’t go overboard with big gift gestures anymore (since having children) and we certainly do not go out for a meal on Valentine’s night. We prefer gifts that we will use, enjoy and that are a little personal to us. Our plans this year will include a coffee date whilst the littles are at school, a fancy pants M&S dinner cooked by myself, bottle of plonk and some of the gifts that I want to share with you below. I do…

Children’s Christmas Stocking Fillers Gift Guide 2018

I have found some lovely gifts this year that I will be adding to their stocking, here is what is on offer. Cry Babies Magic Tears We were kindly sent Cry Babies Magic Tears during the summer and I wanted to include them in my stocking fillers guide because they are a great addition. Their cute little houses are the perfect size for a good quality gift but are certainly within budget. If your little one is…
