Bonfire Night style for children with House of Fraser
I love it when we change seasons, not so much for myself (as none of my clothes fit and I’m still trying to lose weight to fit into all the clothes in my wardrobe), but for N. It’s great to…

Trendy Thursday (ahem) – colour brights
I only remembered the other day, that I had a great outfit of N’s I wanted to share. Hence why we’re a bit late joining up with Trendy Thursday. The other day we headed out to Hatton Adventure Farm. It…
Trendy Thursday – September Shorts
It feels so strange that N’s still in shorts and we’re over halfway through September. But it’s still wonderful weather with beautiful John Keats’ ‘Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’. We’ve definitely been making the most of both. My Trendy…
Trendy Thursday: campervan shirts and pack-a-macs
This week we had a few days away in Bristol. Going away with children is having to be ready for everything, so it’s quite hard to pack light. I thought I’d share two of the items I found essential for…
Trendy Thursday: a child’s choice and Frugi clothes
It’s another Trendy Thursday, and I’ve got a couple of picks today. The first wasn’t planned, but I couldn’t resist including it. Like always, I set out clothes last night for N to wear today. But he decided he didn’t…
Trendy Thursday – summer shorts and tees
I mentioned the other week that I’d been stocking up on shorts for N in readiness for the summer, and now we’ve had some glorious sunshine and warmth we’ve been able to break them out. Here’s hoping it lasts a…
Bargain childrenswear buys at TKMaxx
I’ve been checking out TKMaxx more frequently than usual over the last 6 months or so. We have one in town, but it’s a bit of a walk away from the main shopping centre area. However I work a 5 minute walk…
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…
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….
Trendy Thursday: Thrifty toddler style
N always has plenty of clothes, although he does also get good wear out of them now he doesn’t grow as fast. Sometimes I do open the wardrobe and think there’s too much, but as I buy a size ahead…
How to make a crotcheted ear warmer (headband)
I’ve just recently got back into crotcheting again. My mum had wanted to make a blanket for the hospice she’s been looked after in so I’d bought her wool, but then found that she wasn’t going to be able to…
