Position
Hi, I’m Lucy, a 40 year old mum of two from Birmingham. A memory maker, tradition keeper, stationery addict and book lover. HR Advisor by day, content writer and sleep deprived Mama by night!
Here you can expect to find honest and impartial reviews of products and services that make parents’ lives easier. Thanks for stopping by – feel free to have a look around!
Those of you who read the blog regularly will know that we are very much a pro tech family. I have no issue at all with Erin using tablets and technology, as feel they have become a huge part of modern society, and a fun way of providing educational play (as well as...
Mother's Day is the perfect time to show the Mum's, mother figures or grandmothers in your life just how much they mean to you. If you are a Mum yourself, it's also the perfect day to have a bit of appreciation for what is often a thankless task! With just under two...
I am not shy about the fact that my youngest still doesn't sleep through the night. Far from it in fact. Despite being just days away from 18 months of age, she still wakes up multiple times a night, sometimes for a cuddle, usually for milk, but most of the time for...
So that's it. Half term is officially over, and it's back to school in the morning. The school break appears to have absolutely flown by, but we've had a jam packed week full of activities including trampolining, crafting, trips to the park and watching Coco, which in...

Today was a lovely yet emotional day. The penultimate day of half term and a days annual leave for me, I headed to the cinema with my eldest daughter - our first one on one date since before she started school. We walked, hand in hand from the car park, her skipping...
Erin is a huge fan of PJ Masks, and it has become a regular TV choice for Erin whilst she is eating her breakfast before school in the mornings! I can definitely see the appeal, just in the way banana man used to change into a superhero back in the 80's (showing my...
Hoorah!! The nights are getting lighter, the days are getting (a little) brighter and spring is finally on it’s way! It might still be chilly outside, but I am starting to notice that summer is definitely beginning to feel a little more within reach. If you are...
Time. No matter how early I get up, or how many times I wake in the night, there never seems to be enough hours in the day to complete all the things that I need to. In Mike's day job, the phrase "time is money" most definitely applies, and he spends a lot of his day...
*This is a collaborative post As new parents, it is fairly well documented that you can expect a lack of sleep. In those early weeks and months, we are LUCKY if we get 5 hours of sleep at all, and sleep deprivation can be pretty brutal. Many parents do whatever they...
