CHILDREN’S PARTIES GALORE

10 Jul

IMG_2047
June is literally the busiest month for us when it comes to children's birthday parties. When I was pregnant with A we did NCT class and all of us were due within a few weeks of each other. There were five of us in total, three girls and two boys. Would you believe that all three of our girls were born three days in a row?! The boys weren't far behind, and both came along within two weeks. For us then, June is a busy month of present buying and outfit planning. And there's no better excuse for me to pick out some cute new outfits so the girls can get dressed up. I use the excuse that ... Read More

WEDDING GUEST

12 Jun

Lavinia dress
I'm not pregnant but if I was, Madderson's Lavinia dress would be a strong contender for Summer's wedding season. Styled with gold, who says the pregnant guest can't win best dressed? (Bride aside.)

Madderson London, luxury maternity wear for stylish mums-to-be, have a stunning collection and their statement pieces this season are no exception. I discovered this brand during my last pregnancy and was blown away by their quality, design and ease of wear. I naturally progressed into womenswear and have held back those maternity p ...

Muddy creatures. Our box of Joy.

18 May

This is just the most exciting new shopping concept I have come across to date. Mostly because I have lost all interest in the high street when it comes to kids fashion, secondly because I never have the time to go shopping anyway. Muddy creatures, for young explorers. It really is a box of joy!

So what is Muddy Creatures and how does it work? The process is simple. Sign up and create a profile for your child, then sit back and relax whilst Anja sends you a box full of things she thinks you will love. You then have ten days to try them ... Read More

Eat Sleep Love. The nursery consultants.

28 Apr

east sleep love
As you probably already know the world of parenting is a minefield. There is a different product, opinion, wives-tale, about literally every aspect. From personal experience, the best approach to all of this is; explore everything and then make up your own mind. You are the parent and at the end of the day only your choice, your opinion, matters. So when something comes along that is designed to make some of these choices easier, based on this exact same philosophy, well, that's a good thing.

Introducing nursery consultants eat sleep love. The concept i ... Read More

When it comes to denim there is no right or wrong. There will always be room for more than one style. Skinny, flared, distressed, boyfriend, girlfriend, cropped, it all depends on your mood. Right now my mood is on the new season denim. It's all about a wide leg and focus is on the hem.

Love it or hate it there is no escaping springs latest denim vibe. What I love so much about this new look denim is the comfort appeal. I have never been totally comfortable in a pair of skinny jeans, no matter how much they have cost me. I also hated wearing slim fit mat ... Read More

The sweetest personalised baskets were gifted to the girls over Christmas by my SIL. I had already discovered Edit.58 and was actually coveting the exact same baskets. Great minds think alike it seems. Luckily my SIL realised the same and gave me a heads up to make sure we didn't double-up! Although it wouldn't actually have been a problem. Not only do these 'mini-edits' make the most adorable beach bags, they are also perfect little storage for toys and books.

Edit.58 is the perfect destination for those looking for something a little differen ... Read More

It was only a dusting, but this weekend saw our first snow of the season. For little E it was in fact the first snow ever. So sweet to see her cute face when we woke up to a  blanket of white. This excitement was spurred on by her big sister who exclaimed that we must put all the decorations back up, 'it's Christmas again!' Up until last weekend we were barely wearing coats. Finally we can get out the wellies, raincoats and bobble hats. Perfect timing that we got a special delivery from Hatley then.

Hatley is a Canadian brand that is available online a ... Read More
