Last week Edward and I were invited to Westfield to learn more about a new partnership between Ella’s Kitchen and the ELC. They are working hard to ensure that everyone is hungry for fun! Every special stage 1 and baby brekkie pouch is currently wearing a bib which gives you 20% off at the Early…

Monthly Make – April
Longer, warmer days make me want to get on with my long list of sewing projects. This month I’ve made a cute tshirt for Edward from a paper doll set which I picked up at the Spring Country Living Fair. Do you remember the paper dolls you had as a child? The clothes never seemed…
Clarks Seasonal Showcase
Last week we were invited to take a look at the new Clarks Autumn/Winter 2011 collection in a beautiful period house in central London. Edward has recently started walking and I’m interested to see what shoes are available. We’d never been to an event like this before but we’re huge Clarks fans. I’ve always worn…

My Silent Sunday
Cath Kidston and Uniqlo Charity Project
I’m sure you know I’m a huge fan of Cath Kidston. Only today I stopped off to buy a lovely business card holder for my new Moo business cards at the Cath Kidston on Marylebone High Street. Today was a bit of a shopping marathon and, whilst browsing in Uniqlo in Westfield, I spotted some…
