How I learnt to embrace pink

10 January 2009

This is a photo of Miss L at 6 months and you’ll notice something….there is not one pink thing in sight. I’d banned it from the moment I discovered I was having a girl. Friends and family could buy clothes and toys in white, at a push lilac or yellow BUT NO PINK was [...]

I know it’s not December yet, but we got our Christmas Decorations down from the attic today so we were ready for Monday. As you can imagine there was no stopping Miss L from putting up her pink Christmas tree in her bedroom. As you can see she was doing the decoration in a ‘slightly’ [...]

Childrens Room Makeover

25 October 2008

I posted before that we’d ordered some new items from Ikea in hope of tidying Miss L’s room, which seemed to have developed a life of it’s own. Today we put it all together and sorted her things into keep, charity and throw out. Seriously how do five year olds have so much, I swear [...]

iPhone Applications for Busy Mothers

23 September 2008

Ladybird Prints

11 June 2008

How cool is this? You can now get the classic Ladybird illustrations as either a print, canvas or large print. When I was a kid I was obsessed with my Cinderella book and this was my favourite illustration. I must have drawn the blue Cinderella dress a hundred times when I was a kid, and [...]

Proud Mummy!

Guide me through the night

20 April 2008

My lovely daughter has always been a lousy sleeper, in her first year she slept through exactly zero times…and the second and third year! It’s a standing joke here, that it’s the reason we have one child! Literally I was awake for 3 years and there was no way I was having anymore until she [...]
