My children love water play and there’s no doubt this is the perfect weather for it. Amongst their outdoor toys they have a much-loved water table and the paddling pool has been out for a while too. The bath is also full of toys for splashy bath time fun when the weather keeps us indoors….

Ikea doll bed makeover
It seems an age ago since we were lucky enough to come across a really cute little wooden doll bed on a recent charity shopping spree. It was quite big but we managed to get it home on the bus, just! We paid £2 and when we got home I realised it was from Ikea…
London’s sandy beach
We had the most amazing day out today at the London Eye and South Bank. It’s one of my favourite places in London and there’s lots to do for free! We didn’t tell the toddler where we were going until we were right underneath the London Eye and luckily he was excited about going on…

Play with Fisher-Price
Fisher-Price kindly offered me a ticket to the Baby Show last month to check out their latest toys. We love the Baby Show so off we went and were not disappointed! Fisher-Price had a huge play area filled with toys which the toddler and his sister really enjoyed, as well as a huge display of…
Fisher Price vintage loveliness
It’s not often I receive emails from people which I have to read a couple of times because they are so lovely. A couple of weeks ago I received a comment on my blog from Emma at painted style who had read how much I love vintage Fisher Price and offered to send me the…
