The Never Ending Quest To Find The Perfect Jeans
It's exhausting, isn't it? No, not being a parent (yes, that's knackering too) but what I'm talking about here is finding the perfect pair of jeans. I don't know anyone who enjoys going shopping for jeans. It's such a depressing experience. It seems like it doesn't matter what Read more
Are Micro Scooters Really Worth The Money?
Every weekend, when we visit the local park, I can't believe how many scooters we see. They're everywhere! Our park even has a couple of little scooter stands where kids can park their scooters while they play. When our daughter turned two, we suggested to one set of grandparents Read more
Eurovision Bingo Card, Anyone?
Love it or hate it, you can't ignore The Eurovision Song Contest. The annual kitsch-fest is taking place in the Swedish city of Malmö this year (yes! Sweden! It's so on-trend right now!) and I'll be tuning in, glass of wine in hand to have a giggle at Read more
My daughter is two and a half, and for a while now, I’ve been thinking about revamping her bedroom. It’s surprising how quickly the baby nursery that we spent so long planning and kitting out has become too young for her. Her cot was transformed into a “big girl’s bed” last year, the changing unit …

At the start of every year, I always want to do two things: 1. Book a holiday/weekend away 2. Reorganise my home and buy new bits. At the moment, I’ve got my eye on a kids’ toy storage unit from IKEA and I really want to put up some shelves in the alcoves on either …
I could waste hours on Pinterest. In years gone by, I’d bookmark home inspiration photos on my laptop’s browser, but when it came to me planning a room’s new look, I would invariably then not be able to find that one particular photo I’d bookmarked. Yep, as annoying as discovering you’ve put a tissue in the …
My love affair with IKEA has been reignited. Fourteen years ago, I first discovered it as a student (giant bags of tealights and cheap colanders were the stuff dreams were made of, back then) and seven years ago my husband and I kitted out our very first flat with IKEA bookshelves, wall art and yes, …
Decorating the nursery ahead of a new baby’s arrival is just TOO exciting. Not only are you creating a special space for that child, but you get to live out all your own childhood fantasies too. Me? I was always desperate for a pink room. But between the ages of four and eighteen, my bedroom …
