Posted on October 18, 2016March 26, 2019 by jenny

A few days ago I published a piece about the new Miffy X H&M Collection. My daughter is a little fashionista in the making and loves to go shopping with me. She takes a real interest in her clothes and how she looks so was delighted when Penguin Random House sent us a copy of…

Bath crayons and wet floors {bath time with kids]

Posted on October 18, 2016September 1, 2017 by jenny

I’ve mentioned a few times about our lovely new kitchen. It’s dragged on a little but we’ve had a final push this weekend, painted the ceiling and walls and tiled the floor. We’ve managed to squeeze in about 90% of everything and it’s lovely. It’s easy to get used to loose cupboard doors and cluttered…

Both kids got smart new haircuts, we had a good after school karate lesson and were invited to our local Pizza Express to make spooky pizzas for Halloween. It certainly meant…

The Miffy x…

Doc McStuffins Toy Hospital Bag Set

Posted on October 15, 2016August 30, 2022 by jenny

We all know that children need positive role models which is why  I’m keen to encourage my daughter in her love of Doc McStuffins. They are currently learning all about ‘people who help us’ at school and she has been able to tell everyone about Doctors, thanks to Doc McStuffins! Dottie ‘Doc’ McStuffins, a six…

Star Wars Reads Day 2016

Posted on October 15, 2016March 26, 2019 by jenny

This year my son started Year 2 and although he is a really good reader he doesn’t show any interest in reading chapter books on his own. We’ve been working our way through the Roald Dahl books together at bedtime but nothing seemed to hook him in enough to stay up late reading on his…

Orla Kiely inspired stool

Posted on October 14, 2016October 14, 2016 by jenny

I’ve been needing to inject a bit more colour into our living room. I had some Orla Kiely wrapping paper left over and thought it would be perfect for updating our little stool. A while ago I painted it with a Miffy face but it’s been looking a little sad, definitely in need of some…
