My Love Of Christmas Decorations
Okay, it’s safe to say that at Christmas, I go overboard. I like a bit of everything. Light, tinsel, a tree, baubles, wreaths, tack, tack and more tackiness. I can’t help it. I adore Christmas and always go over the top. But why not, it’s only once a year and it makes it so much more special for the little ones. This year, in a bid to find out what type of Christmas tree and decorations us Brit’s preferred, Baytree Interiors polled 1,000 residents to ask them a series of questions when it comes to festive decorations. When asked ‘What type of Christmas tree do you have?’ the fake tree came out…

Being a Cosatto Brand Buddy, it meant that we have been given the chance to review their Cosatto Supa…

Joseph’s Milestones: 9 Months Old
I know everyone always says that the baby stage goes really fast, but it is true. In just 3 short months Joseph will be 1 year old and no longer ‘zero’ as Thomas puts it. I cannot fathom how quick this time has passed, it feels like yesterday that I was bringing him home and writing how Joseph came in to this world as a teeny tiny little baby. Joseph is always on the go, never wanting to sit still and is starting to outgrow his Jumperoo, his once much loved toy, as he is wanting to be constantly moving and climbing. He can now sit unaided, crawl with ease…
