Beautiful Handmade Tutus? It's All About TutuTallulah
Sometimes you discover new products and get excited by how gorgeous they are. This happened a few weeks back when a friend tagged me in a Facebook post about new website TutuTallulah.com. My friend thought it was right up my street - and she was right. Founded by Imogen Read more
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
Everyone loves a good hair day, don’t they? For me, they seem to be few and far between. I’m on what seems to be an endless quest to find that elusive magic combo of products that will leave me looking like Cheryl Cole (in her L’Oreal adverts, not her 2002 corn-row look).
And this week, it …
Stop what you’re doing. Probably the loveliest, most indulgent book of 2012 was published today. Pippa Middleton’s Celebrate: A Year of British Festivities for Families and Friends is packed with party ideas, recipes, games and tips from she-who-has-an-enviable-bottom. The photography is beautiful, with snaps of Pippa and her friends in sparkly frocks in the New Year’s …
This photo of Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise on their mobile phones caused a minor stir last week. No, not because Suri is wearing next season’s hottest colour, as seen on the S/S13 Stella McCartney catwalks*. As they sit in New York’s Battery Park, Katie is engrossed in her iPhone while six-year-old Suri chats away …
I’m lazy.
There, I said it. I only exercise because I have to, my favourite hobby is watching TV and I’ll always take the bus if I can, rather than walk.
I’m especially lazy when it comes to cooking. It’s not like I can’t cook – I’ve been known to whip up a mean lasagne and my …
I regularly get stuck in a jeans rut. I wake up each morning, mentally scan what’s clean and hanging in my wardrobe and then usually plump for my skinny jeans and a vaguely on-trend looking blouse/top. I wish I was more adventurous, and wore cigarette pants, metallic shorts, peplum dresses, leather leggings, jumpsuits, pencil skirts… …
Boden isn’t a brand I was remotely aware of, in my pre-mummy days. The only online shop I visited then was ASOS (usually in a Christmas party panic which led me to order eight sequined dresses and return seven of them.) But when you have your first baby, a few things happen in quick succession:
You …
No one would deny that David Beckham is the hottest man on the planet, would they? (You would? Please leave my blog now and never darken my URL again…)
That jawline. That stubble. The flicky hair. The twinkle in his eye. That squeaky voice (OK, you got me there, scrap that one.)
But there is one thing …
London Fashion Week 2012 might have left the fashionistas of the world feeling inspired but us mere mortals are still in that tricky place with our wardrobes where it’s not summer anymore but it’s not quite autumn yet. ‘Is it too mild for opaque tights?’ we ask each morning. ‘Can I get away with not …
Why do toddlers drink the bath water? Just because we give them plastic cups to play with while they splash around in the bubbles, doesn’t make it OK to drink the water. And anyway, doesn’t it taste, well, soapy?
That one time you leave the house without a spare nappy/change of clothes/packet of wipes? It’ll be …
Last Thursday, Peaches Geldof, mum to four month old Astala, was pushing her son in his pram when the uneven pavement caused the pram to tip forwards. Little Astala toppled out before being scooped up by his mum.
The first thought that went through my mind when I saw the photos was “Ooh, she’s got an …
Hello, I’m Alison. My day job is working as a chief geek for a women’s magazine. I started Not Another Mummy Blog while I was on maternity leave in 2011 and it was quickly named as Netmums Blog of the Week. I also won the Best Mummy Blog Writer gong at the 2011 Gurgle Blog Awards…
