After seeing the television advertisements, O has wished for his own Kinetic Sand set for months. I’m not a huge fan of sensory and messy play – goodness knows I have enough mess to clear up to start off with – so when I was asked if we would like to review the Kinetic Sand Sandcastle set,… Read More
I figure I should cover our October half-term Disneyland trip in a number of parts, as there’s just so much I want to share and one long post would just be too long! So I’ll start with our accommodation. We stayed at the Sequoia Lodge at Disneyland, Paris (one of the Disney Hotels) for four… Read More
Back in August, we flew from Edinburgh to the sunny shores of Majorca on our first family holiday. We had booked an early morning flight so needed to find somewhere to stay close to the airport the night before. Hubs found the Norton House Hotel and Spa just a few minutes from the airport, so… Read More
The weather has certainly turned colder and now that we’re into the Autumn months, I’ve been on the lookout for fashionable clothes for the kids that will keep them warm and toasty. Though they’ve been producing slings for some time, the new range of kids fashion by Rockin’ Baby is definitely worth a look. The… Read More

We spent the day travelling home from our first holiday as a family of four and arrived home late after a ridiculously long day.

I have an incredibly sweet tooth… I love chocolate, biscuits, cakes, puddings and sweets – not necessarily in that order! I seem to have passed on my tastes to O, as he loves all things sweet too. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hand out sweets all day every day, but we do tend to… Read More
Oh my… My baby is now six months old! How did that happen?! I’ve been wondering where to start with introducing food into Q’s diet for a while and so when Babease asked if we would be interested in trying out some of their products, I thought it would be a great starting point for… Read More
For many years, I’ve relied on my trusty GHD hair straighteners so take the curl from my mane. Since O started to walk, however, I don’t have the time as often to sit down and straighten my hair like I used to so I’ve finally started to embrace my natural locks. However, I still like… Read More
Now that the schools are back in session, it’s an awful lot quieter in my house between 9am and 3pm! O was back at school last week and thrown right in the deep end with a full five day week, after seven weeks off for the summer. He’s handled it like any other five year… Read More
