[Ad - review. I was sent a box for review purposes and all thoughts are my own] There are few things I love more than bedtime stories with Jenson. I'm so proud to be raising a mini bookworm who always asks for more stories and learns his favourites by heart. Thanks to the Puffin Picture… Continue reading Puffin Picture Book Subscription Box review
We're at that stage where a lot of people who had babies around the same time as me are now pregnant with the next, so I'll be doing some new baby shopping soon. I'm totally always going to be that parent/aunt/friend who buys books and this soft cloth penguin book from Kidly is gorgeous -… Continue reading Item of the day: Penguin cloth book from Kidly
I'm a little bit in love with this adorable penguin cushion from Oliver Bonas. He's £50 so he's a little bit special. You might also 'need' his friend, Mr polar bear... Plus there's a cheaper (£30.00) animal mobile which would make a great newborn gift.
You can't call yourself a Cornish geek and not feature a gift guide with Cornish goodies now, can you?! I've mentioned before that I love shopping independent and local where possible, so here's a selection of gifts from some of my favourite Cornish brands/creators. Teacup and tea plate by Isobel Higley Ceramics, Etsy, £24.95 and… Continue reading Christmas Gift Guide 2016: With love from Cornwall
Earlier this week we took Jenson back to Paradise Park - partly because he's big enough to appreciate the animals now, partly to try out the soft play (which we didn't do in the end because he was tired and teething) but mainly because I love feeding the goats! Jenson wasn't even that into them… Continue reading Sunday Snapshot #57
We're lucky that Jenson is now in that fun clothing age range where he can wear both baby and boys clothes. Baby clothes tend to go up to 24 months and most boys clothes start at a year old, so he can still wear the cute baby dungarees (which Luke hates but I love -… Continue reading Wish list: M&S kids
Oh, the Gro Company are wonderful people. They come up with all these fantastic ideas to keep your wee one safe and warm, including their fabulous new Gro-Snug. This would have been perfect when Jenson was younger because he hated being swaddled - he has to keep his arms free. And just check out the… Continue reading Item of the day: Penguin Gro-Snug
Ahhh, I love Paperchase. I'm signed up to their Treat Me loyalty card and they sent me a little £5 off voucher for my birthday. The problem was, I couldn't use it in store in time because my local is so far away and it wasn't worth using online at the time because of the… Continue reading Best of the Paperchase sale
I go to bed a good hour or two before Luke and I hate getting into a cold bed in the winter. In the summer I love cold sheets but when I've been sat in a nice, toasty office and get into an empty, freezing bed, it makes me all kinds of sad. I love… Continue reading Item of the day: Penguin hottie from Marks and Spencer
I know, I blogged about it all last week but I just need one more day to share some of the incredible products and blog posts I came across during National Stationery Week. Then we'll get back to our regular programming - with the usual amount of stationery love! Here's a look at some of… Continue reading Wrapping up National Stationery Week
