In our house, we have this thing with stars. I guess when you have experienced a life changing loss, there is often something that you associate with that moment in time, that person, which is a comfort to believe is always there in spirit. For some it’s feathers, butterflies, maybe Robins, but there is definitely something about seeing the brightest star in the night sky that makes us think of her. more “GREATERSKIES Personalised star map review & giveaway”
I guess I’ve always been a collector of things. Not in a hoarder next door kind of way, but just in an appreciation for lovely trinkets, complete sets, or just random things in different phases of my life. I can never come home from the beach without a pocket full of shells. more “Collecting Lamaze, collecting memories + Freddie Firefly #Giveaway with @LamazeOnline”
“You’ll regret it when you’re grown up”. The words my Mum used when I’d begged and begged her to stop my piano lessons, which seemed to go on my entire childhood, yet never once saw me achieve a single grade, and had me in tears, hiding in the kitchen from the two hundred year old guy who came to our house to teach my brother and I each week. more “Raising Musical Children + Book #giveaway”
This week is a pretty big week here at #CoolMumClub HQ. It’s been two and a half years ish since I launched the #CoolMumClub link up for parenting bloggers, unsure of what I was doing or where it might lead. In the months that followed, I worked out what I was doing, gained an amazing co-host in Talya (Motherhood the Real Deal) and we also launched the instagram community too. more “#CoolMumClub 100 EPIC #GIVEAWAY”

Like so many of us, I named my children along a more unusual route, and therefore finding their names on any average supermarket / garden centre personalised nick nack rack has never happened, yet. more “Kent-Made Personalised Wooden gifts: Review & Giveaway”
There are few things I’d say I can’t live without, but tea is probably one of them. In fact the tea paraphernalia spreads across the few items on the kitchen worktops, and we even have a whole cupboard dedicated to tea. more “Becoming a master brewer with Adagio Artisan Tea #giveaway”
Board games were a huge part of my childhood. The hours spent trying to thrash my brother at hungry hippos and ‘Feed the clowns’ are some of my most vivid memories of playing at home. Learning to cheat at monopoly, never quite understanding the game of life, and the squeals of laughter as we tried and failed to beat each other at Mouse trap. more “Tomy Games Review & #ScrewballScramble #GIVEAWAY”
As parents, Valentines day more often looks like an M&S Dine for 2 meal, perhaps sitting at a table instead of on laps in front of Netflix, however, I like many of us try my best to pick up a little card and make a bit of effort (not be in PJs when he walks in the door, and I’m talking fluffy primarni, not silky lingerie). more “Valentines Day Welly Boot Print & Card #Giveaway with Packapunch Designs”
