I’m a bit of a creature of habit when it comes to hair and beauty essentials. No, that’s not quite true, with shampoo I do tend to switch between a few brands, and try out some new ranges when they’re…
Who doesn’t love Lego? It’s usually a part of everyone’s childhood, and N’s just progressing from Duplo to proper Lego. Unlike when we were children, there’s now massive ranges of Lego, and more options for different age ranges. I’m all…
I’ve been saying for years we need to do something with the garden. The wall needs a bit more compost or soil in so the flowers will be higher up and seen rather than sunken in the bottom of the…
I’d love to be fluent in another language. After 7 years of French at school (at GCSE I found it easy, but A level traumatised me forever!), and a fleeting couple of years doing Spanish, my verbal language skills are…

Like many parents I love taking photos of N. I’ve totally embraced Instagram – the day that launched for Android, I was over the moon. Since taking part in Project 365 this year, and trying to input to #CapturingColour, I’m…
Our latest Parragon book buddy delivery is The Bully and the Shrimp picture book by Catherine Allison and Kim Greyer. I wasn’t sure at first as to whether talking about bullying was something I really wanted to introduce to N…
Like many all 3 year olds, N is obsessed with Peppa Pig. I’m not overly keen as I’m not really a big fan of character items, plus having to turn on another of our Peppa Pig recordings every 5 minutes…
Note to self…never assume the OH will play ball with timings for the purpose of review! I was offered the chance to review a Shock Doctor knee support and as the OH at the time had had a dodgy knee…
