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!
Ask parents what one of there most challenging experiences has been with their children, and it is likely to be surviving chicken pox. Despite being a fairly common childhood experience, I always shudder when I hear the words "there has been a case of chicken pox in...
I can't believe another Wednesday has come around already! We have had a busy week, and Neve has turned 8 months - another big milestone that seems to come around as quickly as the last one!! I hope you're all having a good week and that you have some fun posts to...
I am forever losing things. All the bleedin' time. Literally every other day I misplace one of my possessions, whether it be my phone, my purse or my car keys. Before the "find my iPhone" feature was introduced I used to spend many an hour hunting aimlessly round my...
New Mum Mistakes. I made a LOT. When I got pregnant with my second child, I swore there were some things I was going to do differently second time around. Some mistakes I made, if you will, when raising Erin. The rods I made for my own back that I blamed on being a...

Well we did it! We survived the Big Chop! Nope, I am not talking about the other half having a vasectomy (that's enough to make him run away in horror!), I am talking about the big HAIR chop - the cutting of 7 inches of my hair to donate to The Little Princess Trust....
Sleep Tight All Night. Sounds like heaven doesn't it? As my regular readers will know, in addition to our 8 month old being the ultimate sleep ninja, we have had our fair share of ups and downs with Erin, our eldest's sleep. She didn't sleep through the night until...
Welcome to the next instalment in the Little Leaps Linky - recording my children's milestones, accomplishments and developmental leaps. This week we have seen Neve really taking some developmental steps. Unfortunately, the sleep is still as bad as ever. In case you...
For this week's Little Leaps, I am focusing on Neve, who is making some huge developmental leaps at the moment. I am loving that Neve's personality is starting to shine. She is a happy little soul with lots of smiles and laughter, and is communicating well, responding...
I recently read that three quarters of UK children spend less time outdoors than prisoners. Worse than that - a fifth of children did not play outside AT ALL in an average day. This really shocked me. When I was a girl (god that makes me sound old!) I...
