Whilst we are all busy saying goodbye to the 2018/2019 school year, let’s face it, us parents are probably already ahead of the game frantically scrawling out the shopping list for the new term, or for those totally winning, making a dent in it.

Avid readers of my blog (ha ha who am I kidding) may remember back in the spring we were sent a couple of Baby Born toys for the girls to review. Now, I can’t lie and tell you honestly that all the freebie toys become much loved parts of the muddling through family, BUT I have to report that Trixie and Noah (as they are now known) were THE TOYS of 2018 in our household. more “New Threads for Trixie and Noah @zapfcreationuk Baby Born dolls clothes review and Baby Born Soft touch doll #Giveaway”
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”
As the last of the snow drifts finally disappeared from our landscape here in the south east, it’s fair to say we, like everyone else in the U.K. are just DESPERATE for some warmer weather now. more “Has Spring finally sprung? A Great Little Garden £125 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”
