I apologise that this isn’t really a post about ‘penny pinching’ but this issue has been around the media today in response to research just out that controversially suggests, ‘babies should sleep in mother’s bed until age three.’ So everyone seems to have something to say about this from the TV, to the papers and […]
World Book day is almost upon us for another year and this time I had the challenge of finding a costume that met the approval of my rather fussy nine year old. Although he wanted to join in with the day and demonstrate his love of reading, he sees himself as too ‘grown up’ for […]

Although there are lots of activities that we can enjoy at home, from making dens to baking and craft activities (we’ve got some Christmas crafts planned) sometimes we can get a […]

I’ve always loved make and worn it regularly since I was about 13 (I was always getting told off for wearing too much eye shadow in school – Well it was bright blue! – You gotta love the nineties!) I was a girl who would never leave the house without a full face of make […]
