Posted on November 15, 2016February 28, 2020 by jenny

Along with all my Christmas planning I am also getting ready for the New Year. I love buying new stationery and Planners so was delighted to be offered the Stigu Planner 2017 version to review. I reviewed the first edition of the Stigu Planner this time last year and it has been a really good…

Lucky Dip Club Box unboxing {I Can’t Adult Today}

Posted on November 12, 2016February 9, 2020 by jenny

When I heard the theme of the latest Lucky Dip Club Box I knew I was going to treat myself. ***Look away if you haven’t received yours yet!*** Sometimes you just need to shout ‘NOT TODAY’ and this box is full of products to get you through the day. It really was a rainbow filled…

Wooden Fairy Lights Wreath from create gift love

Posted on November 8, 2016November 3, 2020 by jenny

I love picking up a few special decorations every year to add to our Christmas box. The children pretty much dictate the decorations and the tree but I like to add a few grown up pieces too. I love planning the colour scheme and can spend hours looking around shops as well as online to…

Fashion Mash Up Daisy de Villeneuve

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…

Happy Monday everyone, hope you had a lovely weekend. We’ve had such a busy week with lots of things to do, especially after school. 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…

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…

Monday Happy List – Week 106

Posted on October 3, 2016October 3, 2016 by jenny

Did you have a good weekend? I can’t believe it’s Monday again, time for me to write my weekly Monday Happy List post. We had a pretty quiet weekend as both the children seem to be laid low with germs. They are adjusting to being back at school and seem to have had permanent coughs…
