Blue’s really sorry about the cream carpet.

As you all know by now, this is Blue. We love Blue. Very Much Indeed. And yet, we know she is not blessed with elegance, agility, or any kind of common sense whatsoever. (she gives great hugs though) A year ago we were out for a few hours – during which time, Blue was unwell. And when I say ‘unwell’, I mean she was sicker than a sick thing, with a terrible stomach bug that made her insides become her outsides, both...

Win A Brilliant Penguin Bumper Bundle For Your Summer Reading #ByBook

Summer is finally here (yes, really, it is!) and August stretches out before us, with plenty of time to either sit back and relax or head off on adventures – however your summer mood takes you. But Summer’s not all about heading off to adventurous places is it? We can’t be away exploring and doing every second – and some of us can’t go far at all. But that’s okay too.

Make a #MiteyCreation & win a cuddly version, plus £100 goody bag!

Okay, this one’s a bit ick, but a bit cool. Basically every child’s dream project, right? Did you know that it’s estimated around 10 million dust mites live in your bed? And that up to a third of the weight of a two year-old pillow is made up of dust mites and dead skin cells? I know. Ick. It’s because of this that Slumberdown have introduced a new ‘Fresh & Healthy’ range of pillows, duvets and...

Things My Teen Taught Me This Week

Somehow, I own three teenagers. Honestly, I swear I do not know how it happened. I live with them. I see them every single day. Obviously I know they’re not babies, but for some reason, in my head they’re still these guys… Aren’t they delicious? In my head, if I sit on the ground I can still fit all three into my lap for a group hug (just no.1’s lanky 6’2″ frame no longer fits into my lap, let...
