The Magic Ruffled Denim Top – Asos

I think I’ve just found a miracle slimming cure without having to give up on cakes and pasta…check out this denim top! When you put it on it makes your legs look skinny! I actually bought this top from Asos because I loved the ruffles but the ruffles have taken a backstage to the (bold statement here) ‘stick leg’ effect which takes place simply by applying top to body –

Family Day Out: Greenwich, London

If you’re heading to London as a family, you really should put Greenwich on your list of places to visit.  It ticks all the boxes for an easy family day out, largely helped by the enormous park space which you can retreat to should toddler/child boredom kick in.  Greenwich is one of those places where parents can enjoy a portion of good times too – it is right on the

Baby Beach Feet – Havaianas Baby Brasil

I wrote a post last year on Havaianas baby flip flops because they were surprisingly good on a newly walking toddler. I’m writing another quick post this year to say I stand by my theory that flip flops on children work.  This summer we bought (at the Gatwick Havaianas shop) the Havaianas Baby Brasil and once again T-Rex wore nothing else. They are cool in the heat, comfortable (I presume

Brazilian Street Art At The Horniman – South East London

The Horniman Museum has often been my saviour in times of toddler meltdown.  No it is not a place (as its name might suggest) to gain sexual gratification…unless a room full of taxidermy is what floats your boat. Instead it is an oasis of beautiful gardens overlooking London’s skyline and a museum with a schedule of events to entertain both adults and children. To coincide with the Rio Olympics, The

Big Hair Don’t Care – Pop Pop Kid’s T-Shirts

My friend and designer, Lea Lloyd recently turned her screen printing skills to create personalised kid’s t-shirts.  She sells them online in her shop called Pop Pop. Lea asked me what I’d like on a t-shirt for T-Rex and so goes the theme of this post. One of the things T-Rex has been renowned for since birth is his big hair.  Even when I cut it, it’s mega.  Hats sit on his hair, not his

Samsonite – Family Luggage For Three

On our most recent trips to Greece and Spain we were loaned some Samsonite luggage to trial as a family.  As many of you know we were away for quite some time (two months) due to Ross’s job so there was a lot of ‘stuff’ to pack. I would love to say I’m a supersonic, amazing, zen packer but I’m not. I’m a kitchen sink kind of girl who likes space

An Urban Stone House For Families, South East Mallorca

If you’re looking for stylish self catering accommodation for the family in Mallorca, this post is about an urban stone house we rented through Airbnb on the south east coast of the island.  If you love interiors like me, you will most likely appreciate this three bed with roof terrace and courtyard garden.  A mix of industrial grey polished plaster and exposed Mallorcan stone walls made this house a delight to
