Until recently Big Brother has been the *biggest* Chuggington fan. He literally eats, sleeps and breaths Chuggington. Until, that is, he caught an episode of Thomas the Tank Engine. Unfortunately when he wants to watch an episode he can only say “choo choo” which we have to interpret as either Chuggington or Thomas! Luckily for…

(Review) Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum
I’m definitely at the (second-time) new mum stage where it’s a struggle to squeeze a shower into our day, let alone brush my hair or slap on some moisturiser. However, when I was offered the chance to try a new beauty product I thought this was a great opportunity to do something for myself! Artistry…
Where my husband tells me he hates babies
A good friend told me that conversations taking place between a mummy and daddy between the hours of 11pm and 5am don’t count. Which is just as well as yesterday morning my husband told me he hates babies, in particular, our baby. I think he has forgotten that newborns are pretty clueless about bedtimes. Little…
Fiona Cairns Gingerbread Tree Decorations
I’ll admit I can’t walk past a supermarket without having a quick look round. You never know what new products you’ll find which is how I came across Fiona Cairns Gingerbread Tree Decorations in Waitrose the other day. They were expensive but I couldn’t resist the cellophane wrapping and pretty ribbon – fickle I know….
Personalised baby vest
Difficult to believe my little girl is 2 weeks’ old already. Our first few weeks together have been lots of fun although my fingers have been itching to pick up some sewing! As we knew our due date we had time to customise a vest for Little Sister. I would love to claim the idea…
Gnome Breadmen
Today was the second day I managed to juggle two children on my own and to celebrate I thought I would also do some home baking! Big Brother loves gingerbread as much as I do so we used the gnome breadmen shaped cookie cutters which we were recently sent to try. Not your usual cookie…
Decorate Your Own Gingerbread Man
Regardless of the time of year I love gingerbread but to most people it has strong connections with the festive season. I’ve definitely been enjoying a glut of gingerbread products on the shelves at the supermarket and Bespoke Foods’ new Gingerbread Man promises lots of edible DIY fun. The Gingerbread Man kit contains all you…
Post-natal care
I can’t quite believe that Little Sis is 2 weeks old today. The weeks have gone so quickly and I can’t quite believe there was a time she wasn’t around as she has slotted very easily into our little family. My husband was back at work today so it was my first official day as…
12 Days of Christmas – Day 12 (giveaway)
On the twelfth day of Christmas my mummy bought for me – an orb for morphing, (an Etch-a-Sketch for Etchin, science kits for kids, an eco game for playing, friends from Sylvania, a Rastamouse that sings, a 3D Puzzle, Club Penguin Gifts, fun festive crafts and a hamster dressed like royalty! Morbs – perfect as…
