Today on the school run I was stopped, not once, not twice but three times to have people comment on Matilda’s new coat. One lady described it as “the most beautiful red coat she had ever seen”. It’s probably too beautiful really to wear to school but I don’t want to hide it away. The problem with keeping clothes for children for best is that the clothes will never get worn, especially when you live in the country and have a slightly feral child, but this coat is far to gorgeous not to be worn ...

Grown out of it – a guest post
Recently I have discovered a wonderful local company called ‘Grown out of it’. A company that really impressed me with their ethos on recycling. I am delighted to share a guest post from Sharon and Michelle, explaining everything that they have done, please take a look and pop over to the website after reading, it’s such a fabulous concept.

Treating myself – a swimming costume review for UK swimwear
I have had my swimming costume for years and my bikinis for even longer. It’s just not a priority for me, like most of my wardrobe my costumes date back to BK (before kids). Even though my daughter has a different swimming costume for every day of the week and my son the same, I have the one staple costume that comes out for the gym and holidays. When contacted by UK swimwear I initially hesitated as I don’t generally review clothes for myself, only for the children but after thinking about ...
Swimming with Swimfin
When D was born we had him in the water at a few weeks old without armbands. He never used them, he was swimming lengths unaided by four years of age.

Cricket is Summer – a review on behalf of Net world sports
We are very lucky to have space outdoors to play. While Dylan being a typical 10 year old would love nothing more than to be glued to his Xbox for hours, he does, without too much coaxing, love playing out. He’s absolutely football mad, I admit that this may have been nurtured by me, but it wasn’t exactly hard. He knows all the players, follows the gossip and loves to play in goal. While I’ve always loved the game, it was really not my sport in terms of playing. No, my love, was a ...
