Nothing is more exciting that buying a gorgeous new pair of shoes. And buying them for your children means there’s less guilt involved – their feet are still growing after all… So, hearing about not one, but TWO mini launches was enough to get me a teensy bit excited. Firstly, French Sole have expanded their collection of … Continue reading

Kids fashion: Have a Muddy Puddles summer
So it’s Glastonbury time again, which always marks the start of real summer for me, with the focus just as much on the weather (and the wellies) as on the line-up (they never have that problem at Coachella).

Choose from good-enough-to-eat Strawberry and Pear colours for the One carrier and either Blackberry or Blue … Continue reading

Seven Space Saving Ideas For Your Child’s Bedroom
Having children means having lots of stuff and making room for it all can be a bit of a headache.
