Vertbaudet kindly offered to send me some clothes for Little Sis to review. I didn’t need to be asked twice as I love dressing her up, boys clothes are so boring and practical! They sent us two outfits, perfect for the beautiful spring weather from their Spring/Summer collection. Both outfits were in pure breathable cotton…
Marks & Spencer mini gingerbread men
I’m glad that gingerbread is no longer a seasonal food. Last week I spotted some mini gingerbread men in someone else’s shopping basket in M&S so made it my mission to try some too. Today was the lucky day and I grabbed a box whilst searching for something for dinner. The packs contain 12 mini…
Mum you’re fabulous!
This year I’ll be celebrating my second Mother’s Day with my little family. I’m totally immersed in my little bubble of motherhood and enjoy every second, well, most of the time. My toddler has always made lots of noise but the one word I really wanted to hear was “mummy”. His first word was “daddy”,…
Homes for London
I’m a proud Londoner and have lived all over the place since moving to London in 2001. I’ve lived south and north and even east! I’ve been lucky to live with friends, friends of friends and strangers who have become friends. My accommodation has ranged from damp basement flats in Tufnell Park, to roomy flats…

The Book Club giveaway
We love reading books which is why I wanted to tell you about The Book Club. The Book Club team currently reads around 700 books a month and reviews and categorises each one to make selecting books better for parents. They have a great and informative website and I love the fact that books are…
Toddler talk
I know I have a typical toddler. At 23 months he has a huge vocabulary and is starting to string words together. He understands most things I say but he gets frustrated easily when he can’t show or tell me what he wants. I’m really cross (with myself) that we stopped going to baby signing…
Gingerbread house finds
I have been in my favourite stomping ground over the last few days which means charity shop heaven for me! I’ve picked up some lovely bargains both for myself and the children. Besides lots of Thomas the Tank Engine books and jigsaws for Big Brother I found this book of vintage cigarette cards I just…
Should I be scared of chickenpox??
This week I was invited to a mummy bloggers picnic to learn more about chickenpox. It was our first outing as a threesome and I think Big Brother possibly had the best day. He’s really into trains at the moment so a trip on the tube with a quick stop off at St Pancras to…
