I love writing lists and ticking things off so this year we’ve made a Summer Bucket List. In an ideal world I’d have a grown up bucket list (which picked up where my Day Zero list finished off) which would be full of craft and sewing projects. However, I have two pre-schoolers so let’s be…

New to me treasures
I’ve been having a great clear out over the weekend. We have a friend coming to stay which means we needed to clear out the spare room. It’s become a bit of a dumping ground so we spent a couple of hours sorting stuff out to sell or take to our local charity shop. I…
Handbags and Gladrags
Today my thoughts have turned firmly towards the school run. Since I’ve never done the school run before I’m not really sure what to expect but on the couple of occasions I’ve visited the school the fashions have been quite wide-ranging. There are the women who are so immaculate you wonder if they actually care…
[Review] Personalised Peppa Pig book
When I was offered a personalised book from Penwizard I knew immediately what I wanted. I had heard of the company before and knew they offered personalised Peppa Pig books – perfect for my 20 month old! Both my children love Peppa Pig but Little Sis loves her more than anything. She has a collection…
The Charcoal Challenge
I do love the weekend and a quiet couple of days at home. We didn’t have much to do apart from take bags of goodies to our local charity shop and take my new car for a drive. I can’t tell you how strange I’m finding being able to drive legally. The weather has finally…
More reluctant potty training
I’m definitely feeling that life is on the change again. We’ve moved house, have settled into our new area of very quiet suburbia (only shattered by our family – naturally!) and are very happily finding our feet. The toddler has been to look at his new school which is LOVELY and I’ve been to a…
Win with Duracell
It seems that I’m not alone in having a bucket list. Apparently over half of the UK has a bucket-list of lifelong goals, whether it’s to row across the ocean or simply learn how to cook dinner for two without setting the kitchen on fire! However, as I well know, chasing those goals isn’t always…
The Britax Affinity and i-size car seat regulations
I seem to be getting lots of people finding my little blog searching for ‘Britax Affinity‘ which I’ve been using as part of my role as a Britax Mumbassador. I’m pleased to say we’ve been using it everywhere and I absolutely love it! Although I find it a little large compared to our old pushchair…
Water fun with Playmobil
My children love water play and there’s no doubt this is the perfect weather for it. Amongst their outdoor toys they have a much-loved water table and the paddling pool has been out for a while too. The bath is also full of toys for splashy bath time fun when the weather keeps us indoors….
