Blade and Rose Baby Leggings

front page

When I was offered the chance to review some Blade and Rose baby leggings I jumped at the chance, because not only are they practical, but the designs are quite frankly totally gorgeous! I was keen to test them out as Roo loves leggings, hates tights with skirts and I wanted something that was easy for her to take on and off and that was comfortable. The decision was not an easy one when trying to decide which ones we wanted as there are lot of designs to choose from. Most of you will know my sense of humour is [...] Read more »

How not to feel guilty about being a working mum

guilt

I’ve been a working mum since I had Roo – in fact weeks before I gave birth I launched a new business which took off immediately and pretty much my ideas of being a working mum, dipping in and out during the day vanished quickly as my client list grew. Some weeks would see me in London for days or nights at a time often with early starts and assisting clients at exhibitions. There were days when the guilt about being a working mum would creep in, and three years later I sold my business and decided to re-train and [...] Read more »

Peppa Pig Funtime Camper Van

PEPPA PIG LOGO

Roo absolutely adores Peppa Pig and secretly so do I. The little adventures of Peppa and George are full of fun capers and I find the humour in it absolutely genius. So when we got offered the chance to review the new Peppa Pig Funtime Camper Van Playset from Character I knew that Roo would be excited to put it through it’s paces. We already have several Peppa Pig toys including the Peppa Pig castle with various figures and although the toys don’t have the bells and whistles of many other TV character toys they are what I would call [...] Read more »
