The beautiful, funny & unsightly truths about raising 3 year old twins & an 8 year old singleton… with one on the way!
Before Baby Bear was born, I made a little list of essential baby items. Well… there might have been a few non-essentials too, so let’s just say it was my baby product wish list. One of the items on that list was an original Cuddledry towel. The ordinary newborn towels you buy, always seem so […]
My nine year old daughter, Bunny, had an eye test 2 years ago. To our surprise, we found out that she needed glasses and very strong ones at that. We also found out, that I needed glasses too! Our journey with glasses, however, was not particularly successful. Bunny was given two pairs of glasses, one pair insured, the […]
My 9 year old daughter loves Num Noms and as a parent, at first, I didn’t really understand what they were. So to all the other clueless parents out there… Num Noms are small collectible toys, each with their own name and scent… yes… scent! Num Noms all smell like different food items. Each Num […]
I’d never really seen the fascination with wooden toys until I discovered Orange Tree Toys, in particular their Farm Kitchen Collection. A family member gave the girls a cream tea set, a tea tray set, side plate set, cake set and a roast dinner set, as a gift. I couldn’t believe the detail that went […]

I was recently asked to create a mood board for living room/dining room inspiration. My current living room has a grey and orange theme and I really like it. However, having only just moved into my current house, it currently looks very basic and I still have a lot of unpacking and decorating to do. […]
I often like to be creative when it comes to gift giving, but I always seem to end up in the rut of buying the same sort of things for people when it comes to birthdays or Christmas. As good as my intentions are, for buying something unique, the inspiration often doesn’t come when I’m flying […]
Bunny has always loved doing arts and crafts. As I child I always loved arts and crafts too. In fact, the love for doing all things crafty runs through the family, as my mum has always been good at all manner of crafts and her mum was too. Between the four generations, we’ve done everything […]
Three year old Fluffy randomly potty trained herself just a few months ago – you may have read my post about toddler led potty training. Tiny, however, just doesn’t get it, bless her. So when we were sent some Thomas & Friends potty training books, we thought, wonder if this will help?! It’s funny to think how […]
