Perfect Autumn Essentials – Pretty Jeans & Comfy Boots from Next
Autumn is probably my favourite time of year to dress for – and my daughter appears to have inherited my enthusiasm. After months of a lacklustre approach to grabbing the nearest t-shirt and shorts, she’s suddenly re-organising her jumpers and insisting that she has ‘nothing to wear’. Well, to be fair, she’s probably grown at least 6″ since last November, and none of her leftover winter wardrobe...
Jeans for your man-sized boy teenager.
I thought they were tricky to find clothes for when they were six, and demanded red tractor t-shirts, soft-pyjamas-with-buttons-on-please and absolutely no yellow.But these boys of mine haven’t got any easier as they’ve got older.The trouble is, teenagers just stop being catered for specifically – around the age of 13 they suddenly disappear from the kids clothing sections; but adult clothing doesn’t really...

PERFECT Boden swimsuits reduced to clear!
I am stupidly super-fussy about my daughter’s swimming costumes. I know I am. Until such time as she grows big enough to make her own choices, I have very firm rules (which make no real sense, and I honestly make no judgements on other’s choices. This is all in my head, and I’m totally fine with that) For me, bikinis are a no. A v-shaped neckline which suggest cleavage? That’s out too. The same rules as lunchboxes apply in...
TOP Buys for Swimming with your Baby & Toddler #ExperiencedMummaTip
When your ‘babies’ are 6′ teenagers, it’s sometimes easy to forget those far-off days when they actually needed you every single step of the way. But it’s astonishing how much knowledge you stack away in your brain that’s just sitting idle, waiting for the day someone asks you (or till your babies have babies, and you can become *that* granny with all the advice).
