3 Things to Consider About Car Safety with Children*
When it comes to keeping your child safe, there is no such thing as going too far (unless of course you keep them in a bubble and don’t let them do anything!) When you have a baby it’s important to look at all aspects of your life to eliminate or at least reduce the ways in which your child could come to harm. We baby proof the house, we look into what areas we live in and what schools our children are going to attend and we vet the people who are going to be looking after our children. Another important thing to consider is safety in and out of…

My 10 Favourite Plotlines on Once Upon a Time
Sunday 14th May saw the season 6 finale of Once Upon a Time, a TV show I’ve mentioned time and time again on the blog, for a long time it was my favourite TV show. It was exactly what I wanted, a show that made me believe fairy tales, something I love so much, were real. It was a show that preached hope and that good would always triumph over evil. It first aired when I was living the darkest time of my life. While I was locked in an abusive relationship with what felt like, at the time, a great evil. I needed hope. I needed to know that…

5 Ways Passive Smoking Can Affect Your Child’s Health*
One of the many reasons why my daughter’s father was no good for us was even after promising the health visitor he’d quit smoking as soon as she’d gone he tell me he had no intention to. I pleaded with him knowing how harmful it was to our baby but in his head passive smoking wasn’t going to cause any harm, how wrong he was. Keeping your kids healthy and happy is a sharing concern to every parent. There’s nothing more satisfying than watching your kids growing up healthy and strong, and parents can move mountains to achieve it. But sometimes, we do things that seem unharmful, when the reality…

Lelli Kelly School Shoes at Jake Shoes Review
I can’t believe we’re almost half way through Little Miss’ last term of her first year at school. Although I’m so excited that I’ll have her off for a whole 6 weeks, I know during that time I’ll have to think about buying her new school uniform during that time. A stress and expense every parent dreads! At the moment with Little Miss being in the lower end of school the only thing I need to get that’s branded is her school jumper or cardigan, everything else can be unbranded which does save money. However LM does so much crafting at school I need to have at least 3 cardigans,…

Tales As Old As Time Afternoon Tea at The Kensington Hotel Review
On Monday 22nd May I took the train down to London to have afternoon tea with my best friend Bee. Not just any afternoon tea, because why would we go all the way to London for that? No, we went to have the almost famous Beauty and the Beast inspired afternoon tea at The Kensington Hotel. The Tales as Old as Time afternoon tea is held in The Town House at The Kensington Hotel, it’s possibly the most coveted afternoon tea in the country at the moment and we were lucky to get a booking for May only the week before Bee’s birthday. I hear it’s now completely booked up…

The #DayOutForAll Campaign – Alnwick Gardens*
Being a single mother (wow I say that a lot) means I spend a lot of time with my parents and immediate family. I moved back home so I could have help while Little Miss was a baby, and I’m staying for the time being so members of my family can have her in their life. I lost both my grandfathers in short sucession and it really was a wake up call, I wanted LM to know all our family before it was too late. Of course this means we have a lot of family days out. Days out should be for all members of the family, including those with…
