Day Zero – Month 7 (April)

Posted on May 2, 2011July 28, 2012 by jenny

Time for a quick Day Zero update before another month passes me by:   4.     Get through my baby’s teething in one piece! The last few days have been terrible as Edward has not one but three teeth coming through at the top. The pain is excruciating for him and we’re finding it really difficult…

Thrifted royal goodies

Posted on May 1, 2011February 19, 2019 by jenny

I’m a sucker for Royal memorabilia and have a growing collection of royal mugs. There always seems to be a plentiful supply in charity shops and now it’s a case of filling in the gaps in my collection. Unfortunately we don’t have anywhere to display them just yet so they’re boxed up until we move…

Opposites attract

Posted on April 25, 2011February 19, 2019 by jenny

We’re currently on holiday so I have been lucky to have several new charity shops to browse. Last week we were in Teignmouth where I found this beauty: a vintage Tonka truck. I was strangely excited when I saw this as it wasn’t plastic but metal. There’s a little bit of rust but nothing that…

Have you got a little Prince or Princess?

Posted on April 23, 2011June 5, 2018 by jenny

As part of the royal wedding celebration, Pampers is celebrating all little princes and princesses with their new (ridiculously cute) advert which is being aired next week and I have been given a top secret link so I can share it with you before anyone else sees it.
