When we renovated our garden in 2015, people joked that the play area we created was good enough to hire out for alternative children's parties, and that we could have invited the entire nursery round and still had room for them all. I have to admit they were probably...
Now she is 3, Erin has outgrown the majority of hooded towels that we used when she was a baby. She loves bathtime, but gets very cold when she gets out and given the choice, would simply snuggle up in her dressing gown to warm up! This isn't ideal as they are not...
As regular readers will know, I love crafting with the girls. I also love gifts with sentiment, and would much rather receive a personalised or home made gift than an expensive item with no thought behind it. As a result, when it comes to planning gifts and cards for...

Erin is nearly four years old, and I cannot believe that she will be starting school this September *sob*. In preparation for this, we have been trying to work with Erin to help her understanding of letters and numbers, and teach her how to spell and write her name....
After watching the Secret Life of Pets and Bolt on TV, Erin has suddenly become a bit obsessed with dogs. She decided that she wanted a dog of her own, and ideally one that talks! In a small 3 bed semi, there is no way on god's earth I am bringing a real dog into this...
I recently gave up 3 hours of my life to watch BBC Drama, The Replacement. It was described as a 3 part psychological drama, based around an expectant woman going on maternity leave, and clashing with her interim replacement. Having recently started maternity leave...
I'm not embarrassed to admit it. Reality TV series are my guilty pleasure. Before the girls were born I used to watch nearly all of them, Big Brother, TOWIE, Geordie Shore, and my personal favourite Made in Chelsea. There is something intensely satisfying about...
