As you know I am a huge fan of Zulily, the daily deals site with a difference. I am a little bit obsessed with checking the app on my phone each morning to see what delights are on offer that day! The stock is often limited so the early bird catches the bargains and I have grabbed […]

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client. As the children go back to school and nursery it’s time for packed lunches to make a return. However I didn’t want to get stuck in […]

You may remember that the lovely Carly from Mummy and the Chunks visited us earlier in the week to share her Cloth Nappy experiences, today she returns to tell us about the Graco Evo Mini that she is currently putting through it’s paces… Me and the chunks AKA Gracie (2) and Zach (6 months) have […]

Ben has just turned four and he loves role play! He is always playing shop either with his play till or an imaginary one! (I think he may become a shopaholic like Mummy!) I encourage this as much as possible as I think its a great way to develop use of numbers and simple maths. […]

A few weeks ago I joined a group of local bloggers at the Renaissance Hotel, Manchester to take part in a Murder Mystery Evening hosted by Joe Bloggs Blogger Network and BGO.  I’ve got to admit I didn’t really know what to expect, I’ve heard of friends having fun at ‘Whodunnit’ style evenings and weekends but wasn’t sure if […]

On Saturday morning our family returned to Heaton Park for the second charity walk of the week (Have you read our race for life post yet?) this time it was my two year old Elizabeth who was being sponsored, to take part in the Barnardos Big Toddle.  We slapped on the suncream and packed a […]

Our first Guest post for Real Nappy Week from Geri Smith a self confessed cloth nappy addict! I am not an eco-warrior hippie earth mother. I am not even close. I have neither the patience nor motivation to recycle everything (anything), grow my own veg, sew, knit and crochet my own clothes, and I am far […]

As you know my son Ben is 5 and like most children his age he loves Lego, and thanks to Daddy’s influence he is Star Wars mad too! So when Moneysupermarket gave us the opportunity to visit Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester as part of their mission to find Britain’s best Day out I just had to arrange […]

If like me you use cloth nappies one thing you will need Is liners. Fleece liners are great, they’re reusable, wash well and the ‘poop’ just shakes off! But flushable liners are also an option, we use these when out and about and for nursery where Elizabeth attends 5 days a week, one of the […]

  Bernard Ashley, the author of Little Soldier (one of the books that feature in the Once Upon A Wartime exhibition) will be at the Imperial War Museum North today for a talk and book signing. You could learn what it is like to be a professional writer as he reveals the processes and inspirations […]
