Kids interior chic

We are currently finishing up redecorating Mr A's bedroom, walls are painted, shelves are up, toy box up cycled and now we are on a search for a new bed as it's been long overdue for him to move from his toddler bed to a full sized one. He wants a small cabin bunk bed or something at least fun and unusual, now we don't particularly like novelty interiors and furniture but Cuckooland and Made.com have such unique and inspiring pieces that capture childhood and chic perfectly, such as these fun teepee beds and bunks with dens below. At the end of last year we bough some bedding and a print for our living room from Made and have been really impressed with the quality and design and would love to pick up one or two things for Mr A's room as finishing touches such as the bunny cushion and these cool mini chairs in various bright colours to add a bit of pop. Hopefull we will find a bed soon that suits him, is comfortable, practical and fits into......

Street Style Sunday - Denim & white

Well spring has truly arrived which means the thick winter coats are out and thinner summer ones are in which means I have had the chance to wear this thin spring parka I picked up last year from H&M as well as this loose monochrome Blooming Marvellous shirt which is perfect for feeding and post-pregnancy style as it's tailored in just the right places. I am also happy that I am now back into my normal jeans, especially these very well worn and naturally torn jeans from Next paired up with an Asos braided belt, Ralph Lauren shoes and silver bracelet from East.

Weekends with a Giggle

So last weekend on Easter Sunday, after the hunt and lots of chocolate we decided we needed to get out in the fresh air so heading into the city for a bit of fun. As you can probably tell I am feeling a lot better, 6 week posts c-seciton and my energy levels are back up and so are out mini adventures and its also given me time to really test drive our new stroller The Cosatto Giggle 2. With Mr A we struggled to find a stroller that worked for all of us, we wanted something nippy, easy to control with one hand, that folds down quickly and doesn't make you want to cry every time it takes you 10 frustrating minutes to unfold again and luckily I can say the Giggle has changed our perspective on strollers as it's so easy to use as well as being super stylish and it collapses and folds in literally seconds so no more frustrated faces here. Best of all is Mr G is so very comfy in it that he often falls of straight to sleep, allowing for myself to have a bit more tim......

If you've never been to the races before, then why not take the plunge and plan a great family day out? Horse racing has been going on for millennia, though perhaps not as well organised in the past as it is today. The Jockey Club takes responsibility for the rules and regulations of racing, and there are nearly 60 racecourses in the UK, so the chances are you won't have to travel too far to find one. What do you need to find out when you're planning a first day at the races? Do some research Every racecourse is different, but what the majority have in common is that they welcome families and want to make sure everyone, young and old, has a great day out. There are hundreds of Family Fun Days all over the country, so these are your first port of call. Family-friendly races are a huge attraction for those looking for something new and different, so your family can enjoy lots of different things and it needn't break the bank. There are many racecourses th......
