We took the kids to Legoland Windsor for the second time a couple of weeks back and had such a lovely day. Last time we went – almost a year ago to the day – my eldest, then a toddler, was only just tall enough to go on a handful of the rides, and my […]
Family: DisneyLife Review – Is A Subscription Worth The Money?
If you’ve been reading the blog you’ll know that my kids watch too much TV, and I’m OK with that. So it’ll come as no surprise to learn that we’ve been testing out DisneyLife – Disney’s subscription-based streaming service – for the past couple of months. If you’re a Disney fan considering taking the plunge, […]
Family: Autumn-Inspired Children’s Jumpers From JoJo Maman Bebe
After spending last week at my desk watching the leaves blow off the trees outside our house (did I mention I jacked in my job and went freelance? No??

Family: How To Get The Best From Your Children’s Photoshoot
When I first got an email from Andy Nickerson Photography asking if I’d like to try out a children’s photoshoot, I’ll admit: I was dubious. For one thing, we’re not an overly camera-ready family – one of the kids is usually snotty, the other tends to poke the camera lens every time I put it […]
Family: My Kids Watch Too Much TV, And I’m OK With That
I have a funny relationship with screen time. When I had my son, I would tot up the minutes he sat and watched TV so that he didn’t fall into whatever bracket The Scientists were currently saying was Too Much. I read the articles about the damage Too Much did to children these days and […]

Family: A Letter To My Little Boy, Whatever The Weather
There was a moment when I knew, beyond any doubt, what it meant to be your mother. But it wasn’t the day you were born. It wasn’t the first time I knew about you, even – a long-awaited pink line forming in front of my eyes as I sat, perched on the edge of the […]
Family: 8 Things Worth Buying Before Your Toddler Starts Preschool
The Boy is starting at a new preschool this September. It’s just across the road – at the primary school he’ll *hopefully* start at the following year – so the idea is that by sending him for a couple of days a week over the next year, we’ll ease him in to the whole thing […]
Travel: 50 Things To Pack For A Beach Holiday With Toddlers
We set off on our first overseas family holiday – to Sicily – with our 1-year-old and 3-year-old kids a few weeks back. I still have bad memories of working out what to pack for a previous holiday to Tuscany – my first ever trip with a baby (when I packed everything including the kitchen […]
Life: My IKEA Mid-Sleeper Bed Hack (Plus Major Mum Points)
I’m a big fan of buying second-hand – there’s not a single piece of new furniture in my 3-year-old’s bedroom. I’m also a big fan of IKEA, so when I spotted a chance to combine the two I was pretty chuffed. I found this IKEA mid-sleeper Kura bed for sale via one of those selling […]
