Today I have a fabulous competition for you which unites world-class music with a breathtaking backdrop to create the most spectacular musical experience of the summer calendar.

London
Lots of family fun
We’re having a super busy week. On Monday we had a fun family day out at Legoland. Both children loved it and the amazing weather we’re finally enjoying in London definitely helped. On Tuesday we visited the toddlers’ new school and I attended my first parent’s meeting! For the last couple of days we’ve been…
White walls
One of the only things we haven’t yet unpacked is our pictures. Our walls are pretty bare but we both think it’s so important to get right that we’re not in a hurry. I’m the first to admit I’m not very artistic. I didn’t enjoy my Art lessons at school, in fact, I actively tried…

Slice of Life
Eye-catching title huh? Today I need to share something with you. White bread is good for you. Fact. I think we’ve all got used to the argument that white bread is bad for you. I remember when I was at Uni a friend constantly sang “The whiter the bread, the quicker you’re dead” at me….
Crafting with Post-it Notes
We love taking inspiration from everyday items and the stormy weather has been perfect for staying indoors and getting crafty. 3M have just launched Post-it Notes Colour Cubes, packs of Post-it Notes in a range of vibrant hues. We were sent a selection of the new Post-it Notes Colour Cubes and challenged to create a piece…
