July Lucky Dip Club subscription box

Posted on August 5, 2015July 7, 2016 by jenny

I’ve developed a serious addiction to subscription boxes recently. I love anything cute, kawaii or which introduces me to new designers and makers. I’ve been following the Lucky Dip Club box for a while and decided to treat myself to the July box. The subscription rates seem pretty reasonable and I’m *just* about coping with…

Posted on August 3, 2015February 9, 2020 by jenny

We had an amazing adventure, sleeping in our own private lodge next to the white rhinos. I’ll be writing a…

Posted on August 1, 2015August 3, 2015 by jenny

As a mother to two small children I seem to spend a lot of time tidying away toys, putting away clean clothes and trying to keep the house tidy. I know I can’t be the only one who struggles to find a happy medium between a family home and a stylish home. So I was…

Summer fun with Lego

Posted on July 31, 2015August 24, 2018 by jenny

It’s hard to believe that one week of the Summer holidays has already flown by. We’ve been really busy with days out, trips to the cinema and lot of play time at home. I’m enjoying spending time with my 5 year old and it’s lovely watching him play all day and have fun with his…

Clangers sun catchers

Posted on July 30, 2015 by jenny

At the moment my guilty pleasure seems to be watching episodes of the Clangers. I find it strangely relaxing and super easy to sit and watch with my children. They seem to enjoy it as much as me and have been asking me to find pictures for them to colour. Today we went one step…

Win Colour Me Mindful colouring books for adults

Posted on July 30, 2015February 6, 2016 by jenny

Colouring books for adults is a big trend this year. I admit to investing in a few as they are great for pulling out when you need to switch off and relax for a while. Having young children who love to colour means I do my fair share of colouring Peppa Pig and Shopkins, so…
