I don’t know about you but I’ll be really glad to see the back of this month. It’s been busy, we’ve had the uncertainty of our house sale going through and we’ve all been constantly ill. We’re going away for a few days over Easter, and taking our germs with us, but we’re more than…
Month: March 2013
Win with Febreze
On average we spend 312 hours each year in our cars, yet cleaning our mobile home-from-home is one of the nation’s most-neglected chores, with a third of Brits only cleaning the inside of their car every six months or less! I was surprised to hear that men clean the inside of their car more than…

Poppy Cat books giveaway
My children adore Poppy Cat and already have a couple of board books so they were very happy to be sent two new paperback story books featuring their favourite animal and friends. Poppy Cat: Birthday Treasure and Poppy Cat: The Mystery Trail are two lovely books and a great introduction to Poppy Cat. The stories…
Rainbow layer cake
Today the toddler turned 3. We just gave him a couple of presents to open before nursery, unfortunately one of them was a Buzz Lightyear which went off before it was opened, rather giving the game away! He was totally spoilt with some Disney Cars for his collection, a train for his train set, and…
New home wishlist
As our moving date is edging closer I’ve been ‘pinning’ some products I would love in our new home. Fingers crossed we will have more wall space (more rooms must equal more walls right?) so we can display lots more photos. Ages ago I wrote about the vintage reclaimed picture frames we found under the…
