It’s so fun buying gifts for the little ones. Whether they’re old enough to excitedly anticipate Father Christmas’ arrival or it’s their very first Christmas, watching children on the big day is always magical. Last year Henry was a bit too young for presents, and as we already had everything we needed, we focused instead on some new items for his nursery. Here are some of my favourite decorative items for a…
The House Detox ft. Dyson Animal
Matt and I have recently embarked on a major house cleanse. Not only is it necessary for our upcoming plans (more on that at a later date!) it was very much overdue. Clothes, accessories, homeware – it’s the biggest de-clutter we’ve ever had. Bags upon bags have been filled and taken away by Clothes for Charity. The side effect of creating space where before there laid clutter is all the unexpected dust and…

Autumn with Joules
It’s always a welcome change to embrace the cooler weather and dress for Autumn in cosy fabrics and layers. Henry and I donned our new Joules outfits and headed out for an autumnal walk amongst the fallen leaves and amber coloured trees. I love how quintessentially British the Joules brand is. Wax jackets, luxurious tweed and their Wellington boots are pretty spectacular too! Blouse – Tweed Skirt – Coat Henry: Quilted Jacket – Gingham Shirt – Mocassins I…
Henry’s 1 Year Update
The months are passing quickly, and Henry is blossoming more and more each day. I’m sure I’ll say this a lot over the years, but 12 months has been my favourite age of his so far. He has become his own little person and it is a delight to witness his quirks and traits come to the forefront. A noticeable difference over the past few months is that he has become a…
Etsy Finds – Autumn Accessories
Autumn is one of my favourite seasons. With the nights becoming longer and the crisp chill in the air, it’s the perfect time for wrapping up in cosy knitwear, enjoying snuggles in front of the fire and indulging in sweet hot chocolate. But before I embrace all the comforts of Autumn, I thought I’d share some of my favourite picks from Etsy. Love You Too Cushion Covers – Chunky Knit Blanket – Baby Moccasins – Rose String Lights – Espresso Cup How incredible…
BabyBeau Sophia Croc Changing Bag
I adore BabyBeau changing bags. They’re the ultimate mother’s accessory, transforming what could be a dull purchase into something chic, sophisticated and classic. The beauty of Babybeau bags lies in their aesthetics. Their stylish designs and high quality materials mean they look more designer bag than changing bag, which is ideal for all fashionista mamas. I’ve loved, adored and used my Ellie changing bag almost daily since Henry was born, but…
DIY PicMonkey Birthday Invitations
With Henry’s 1st birthday quickly approaching, I thought I had better sort out some invitations for his birthday party. I was all set to buy a digital file on Etsy when I suddenly realised I could easily make what I wanted myself, using PicMonkey. I already love using the site to easily edit my photographs, and now with the fairly recent addition of the ‘Design’ feature, I was able to quickly…
Etsy Finds – Mean Girls
Can you believe the iconic Mean Girls is already 10 years old?! I love how it’s become a cult classic, adored my many and re-watched over and over again. Along with Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion, it’s my favourite film for great one-liners. In celebration of enjoying a decade of the film that brought high school drama, bitchiness and Regina George into our worlds, here are my favourite Etsy…
Three Ingredient Dairy-Free Pancakes
Pancakes are one of my favourite breakfast foods, so much so that I indulge in them frequently throughout the year, not just on Shrove Tuesday. Henry’s at the age now where he wants whatever we’re having, but with him currently being dairy-free, I had to set my beloved Fluffy American Style Pancakes aside and look for an alternative that was quick, easy, and most importantly, free from milk. These pancakes take minutes from start…
