Like all 2.5 year olds Tiny is obsessed with Peppa Pig so after hearing how great Peppa Pig World was we decided to plan a mini trip there in the summer holidays as a treat.

Review: A Love Story about my Vax Blade Cordless Vacuum.
Just to be clear I'm no Mrs Hinch. I don't live in a beautiful show home and I don't love cleaning. I do love making my own cleaning products, genius storage solutions and my new Vax though.

Review: Isabella and Us Mummy Cards.
It's always great to be able to work with a brand that you really believe in and I love the positive parenting message behind Isabella and Us. Let's face it - parenting is hard.

Parent Guilt
We are all saddled with parent guilt at some point or other. The key is to not let it take over.

If you're … Continue reading Parent Guilt

The best and worst of the baby groups.
Like all new mums I was really keen (and still am) to take Tiny to lots of different baby groups. This has become increasingly important to me as I'm not sure she will get the opportunity (good, bad or otherwise) to attend nursery until she gets her free hours later on. I only lasted one term … Continue reading The best and worst of the baby groups.
