Pound shop cosmetic bargains
I have to admit that I don’t tend to wear much make up, although I do wear it every day. Even when I was on maternity leave, even on non-working days, I still wear foundation, concealer and powder. I used…

The nits have hit – headlice treatment for kids
I bet your head’s really itchy now isn’t it?! We’ve been having messages from nursery going round warning that headlice have been going round, and today I had a call to say N seems to have them. Here was I…
Rehydrate with The Body Shop Body Butters, plus giveaway
I’m quite lazy when it comes to moisturising and body lotions. It’s only really summer when I start thinking about it (the whole concern about having to potentially get my legs out!), and previously when pregnant to try and avoid…
Retro Love Hearts sweets hit 60
At the Midlands blog meet last week, we were lucky enough to have received goody bags to take away with treats from the sponsors. One such sponsor was Swizzels Matlow and we chomped quickly through the drumstick squashy sweets in…
Papercuts with The Steady Hand
I like to think of myself as crafty (arty-crafty, rather than crafty sly!), but there’s no way I could have the steadiness or the artistic ability to do paper cutting. It seems to have become a more popular craft nowadays,…
How (not) to do food for toddler parties

The high temperature – when is ill, not ill
This week, I had the fear as I picked up my phone and saw the call coming through was from nursery. That phone call that all working parents dread. Our nursery isn’t bad when it comes to illness. In this…
Review: Ozeri Duo Ultra grinder
I’m a big fan of kitchen gadgets, and I think N’s taking after me in that aspect. It might just be a child thing liking cooking and gadgets, rather than something he’ll continue to want to do, but I’m all…
Ikea fun and little handy man
N is very definitely better at the physical thing than the whole drawing and art area. Although he will sometimes pick up a pen and say he’s drawing a tractor or a person, and there may be a vague shape…
Trendy Thursday: Stars and stripe jumper
As N’s not really grown much lately, we’ve not had many interesting new clothes to show off for Trendy Thursday. He has just about moved into age 3-4 trousers, as all his 2-3 ones were too tight round the tummy….
