Review: bigbooklittlebookcardboardbox

Posted on October 5, 2011July 2, 2023 by jenny

Traditional bookcases only show the spines but a baby or toddler likes to select books to read by looking at the covers. Like many other parents we’ve tried putting Edward’s books on shelves or in a…

I need some flowers!

Posted on October 3, 2011August 22, 2013 by jenny

The weather has been so strange over the last few days, really hot. This is great if you like blue, cloudless skies but not so great at 7 months pregnant! As much as I don’t want to wish away the next 8 weeks, I am looking forward to proper autumnal weather, being less physically tired…

Gingerbread house finds

Posted on October 2, 2011February 20, 2019 by jenny

Last week we were fortunate to spend a couple of days away at my favourite charity shop stomping ground. There were lots of bargains to be had. We had our first visit to a carboot sale in years (mainly because they start too early in the morning for my husband!) which was a lucky accident….

Posted on September 30, 2011October 31, 2019 by jenny

Heatwave one week, threats of snow in October the next. I seriously cannot keep on top of the weather at the moment! However, I’m on the lookout for some winter boots for Edward and Clarks have some great contenders. From sports inspired shoes to boots tailor-made for the great outdoors, the essential trends for this…
