As a kid I was pretty lucky when it came to toys. My Mum was very kind and at Christmas and birthdays I remember always being given wonderful gifts. I don’t think I was overly indulged but my Mum knew which toys were important and did her very best to make sure I had the ones I was really hankering after. She somehow just knew (probably after looking at the Argos catalogue pages with the most thumb prints after I’d poured over […]
I used to love danger Mouse as a kid, it was SO funny and I was really pleased to note he’d made a screen comeback for the next generation to enjoy too. Of course with over 3.6 million viewers in its first six weeks on CBBC, the all-new TV series of Danger Mouse has been a ratings triumph and it was no surprise at all that he’s subsequently hit the toy shelves! Ready to replicate this on-screen success, Jazwares is set […]
Since moving house we’ve become quite familiar with home decorating. I have to say that I don’t enjoy painting, don’t seem to be terribly good at it and it takes me forever but I have been tackling the children’s bedrooms because I think it’s important, now that they have space of their own, it’s done exactly how they want it to be.

As OITNB character Piper is given her prison wear she decides her regulation shoes look a little like TOMS and explains to the guard how TOMS gift a pair of shoes to someone in need every time a purchase is made. I’d had no idea until I heard it on the show but […]
Today (2nd of May) is National Baby Day apparently and it’s very apt for us because it’s my ‘baby’s’ birthday. He may not be an actual new born but when you’re the youngest of the bunch I guess you’re always the baby and when the lovely people at Baby Annabell and BABY Born wanted to celebrate #NationalBabyDay with us by sending us a dolly to play with, it had to be a dolly for my birthday boy Jimmy! I recently read something […]
