With Half Term on the doorstep it's great news that there is a new girls' magazine on the market called Blossom- for girls who love to learn. Magazines are perfect for taking on long journeys, to restaurants, or to keep my girls occupied for a couple of hours whilst I try to get things done.

We used the newly installed lift. I may have gone up and … [Read more...]
Tots 100 Home Club: Bedroom reveal
This month's Tot's 100 Home Challenge has been challenging: not only have I been revamping our guest room with a limited budget, but it's been filled unexpectedly by the Au Pair, so I haven't had the access I wanted. Throw in the curtain pole that fell down as the blinds went up and it really has posed a problem. In fact, given that plastering and things-that-are-beyond-my-range-of-skills, the pole still stands idle in the corner of the room as I … [Read more...]
