The Valentine’s – or not – Gift Guide
Some people love Valentine’s Day – it’s an excuse to up the ante on the romantic stakes and forces people to focus on their relationship, even if it’s just for one day. Other people – like cynical old me – think it’s a load of makey up rubbish that’s about over priced set menus […]
Dormeo Memory Plus Mattress Review
SO MANY of you have been asking how we got on with the Dormeo Memory Plus mattress that I ordered online a few months ago – the full review is finally here! I wanted to wait a while before posting it on here because I really don’t think you’d be able to properly judge […]
Grey & Blush Kids’ Bedroom Inspiration
Nine times out of 10, I end up being squashed between three children in my bed at night. Don’t get me wrong: co-sleeping has worked wonders for us over the years and I’m enjoying bedtime snuggles as much as I can before I become public enemy number one with my children. But I have […]
The House So Far…
Well guys, I promised you a house update with some photos and here it is. Apologies for the quality of the photos – it was such a bright and sunny day on site that I couldn’t actually see what I was shooting. I realised after that I should have been holding my phone the other […]

Stocking fillers for girls & boys
I have two girls and a boy and since they’ve been tiny, I’ve been making a conscious effort to teach them that they’re equal, regardless of their gender. I never knew what a feminist I was until I had kids and realised that pretty much from the minute they’re born, girls are being pigeon […]
Must-see Festive Telly List
One of my favourite parts of Christmas has always centred around the TV. Since being a kid, cosying up on the couch with a selection box, a blanket and watching something like Willy Wonka stands out amongst my favourite memories. And now that I have kids of my own, this is still one of my […]
Top Tips for applying for a mortgage
I’m going to start this post by saying that I’m not a financial expert and nor am I claiming to be. These are tips that worked for us and got us over the line for our mortgage. If I had known last year what I know now about the mammoth task involved, it would definitely […]
