    22 November, 2020

    A gallery wall is something I’ve wanted in our home for a long time, so finally the time has come to start planning one! I don’t want a wall filled with impersonal prints, I really want to make it unique, eye-catching and most importantly personal to us. This is an area of the house where

    5 ways we transformed our living room

    11 October, 202028 October, 2020

    Sponsored Post When we moved into our current house, the decor was all very neutral and well presented, which was fantastic as we could live with it for a while – but after a few months, we realised it just wasn’t to our taste anymore. We wanted something with a lot more personality, so we

    AD | Switching from workspace to relaxation zone at home with Hive

    9 September, 20209 September, 2020

    5 Easy Swaps I’ve Made to be more Eco-Friendly

    25 January, 202018 February, 2020

    Over the last few months, I’ve been making a conscious effort to be more eco friendly. We have a super hectic lifestyle with the two girls so I’ve been phasing in changes gradually over time to do my bit for the environment without putting too much pressure on us too. I’ll be the first to

    Rediscovering classic Disney movies with Violet

    15 January, 202015 January, 2020

    Collaborative Post – Paid Partnership | Photography Nicola Jackson There is one thing I dreamed about before I had a baby – snuggling together on cold, rainy days and watching all the classic Disney movies together. When the girls were born, I soon found that with a newborn or small toddler this wasn’t a reality

      I’ve been a homeowner nearly 5 years now with two house sales under my belt, so it’s fair to say I’m quite experienced in the trials and tribulations of owning your own home, although I’ll be totally honest and tell you it was a STEEP learning curve at the start. We moved into our

    ᵃᵈ Do you ever feel as a Mum, all the hard wo ᵃᵈ Do you ever feel as a Mum, all the hard work you do to keep the house and family running smoothly goes totally unnoticed? I often do, it can be exhausting. I could spend the day tidying the house, only for the girls to wreck it 5 minutes before a friend pops round and finds me sitting in chaos. That’s not to mention the baskets of washing that are folded, food shopping ordered, meals cooked, floors mopped, nursery bags packed, days out planned, home-schooling, caring, cuddling, consoling, night feeds, early starts, cleaning, organising….argh, the list goes on! It all goes on behind the scenes - I often feel like a serene swan that is fiercely paddling beneath the water. Being a parent is RELENTLESS, especially in these difficult times. Today I want to celebrate the stay-at-home-parents who silently keep the wheels turning in your house - this is one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever done - so I wanted to say I hear you and your hard work is never unnoticed! You truly are the King or Queen of your castle! @studio.co.uk #GoAllOut

    COSY FRIDAY NIGHT VIBES 🎄 It might only be 5pm COSY FRIDAY NIGHT VIBES 🎄 It might only be 5pm, but we are already in our PJ's watching Christmas movies. Today is the first day I've felt festive so I thought why not embrace it and I stuck some decorations up too! 🙌🏻 (Although not the tree yet, I'm breaking V in gently... 🤪) I am SO excited for this evening, we've got a @terreaterrebrighton 'at home' box which is my favourite restaurant in Brighton - they have just launched a new at home range (see my stories for a sneak preview!) and they kindly came out and delivered me a special feast as I missed going there on my birthday this year 🥰 What are your Friday night plans? ✨ *meal kindly gifted
    ᵃᵈ Is your little one scared of the dark? Sin ᵃᵈ Is your little one scared of the dark? Since Violet turned three, she was suddenly more aware of her surroundings and would cry out in the night - thinking there were monsters or ghosts in her room. It seemed the only option at the time was to leave the light on for her, but did you know leaving lights on around four hours a night can add up to around £20 per child, per year (according to a recent study by @bulb). So, we decided to tackle her fears and try and work out ways we could make her feel safe at night, whilst also lowering our bills: ✨ MAKE A MONSTER SPRAY: Take a glass or recyclable bottle with a little water and add lavender oil for an ultra calming sleepy spray, which also doubles as a ‘monster repellant’. Violet uses her monster spray to ‘cleanse’ the room before she goes to sleep. ✨ LEAVE A BATTERY OPERATED GLOW TOY: Violet has her bear which at the touch of the button lights the room, she can press it any time she needs some light or to walk to the bathroom and it turns off itself after a couple of minutes. ✨ TALK THROUGH HER FEARS AND REASSURE: We’ve spent a long time talking through Violet’s fears of monsters, reading books and reassuring her we are only in the next room. ✨ PLAY IN THE DARK AND CREATE SHADOWS: Being in the dark doesn’t have to be scary - we play games and create shadows on the wall at bedtime to show being in the dark can be fun. I also try and remove any large shadows from her room as I realised one of her bigger teddies was casting an even bigger shadow at one point! Not only is turning off the lights a good way to save on the energy bills, but it’s a more environmentally friendly way to be too, saving 262,000 extra tonnes of C02 that would have been emitted should the lights across the UK had been left on. As a @bulb customer, it feels good to know we are using 100% renewable electricity and 100% carbon-neutral gas to do our bit for the environment, plus their customer service is the best I’ve encountered (by FAR!) and the referral scheme is brilliant too ✨ (plus - head to my stories for £50 off your first bill too! 🌟) Is your little one scared of the dark? I’d love to hear your tips! ❤
    This is what chilly lockdown birthdays look like ⛄️ We are getting through lockdown 2.0 one day at a time. We've had our ups and downs, I find it the most stressful when we are all stuck in the house and girls are like whirlwinds, trashing the place and causing chaos. Getting a bit of fresh air really helps and if it comes to it I take the girls out in the car for a nap, at least I get 30 minutes to sit in peace and quiet, even if I am trapped in the confines of the car. As for me, I can easily pass the time when the girls are asleep - I love to potter about the house, decluttering, baking bread - I've even started a new Nintendo Switch game (Zelda - I'm hooked!) but little people don't really mix with any of those activities so my time is limited! 🤪 How are you finding things so far? Hope you are all holding on and keeping those chins up 🥰 Coat @regattaoutdoors (previous campaign)

    A D PR product The lockdown has been a great time A D PR product The lockdown has been a great time to teach the girls all about the amazing work our NHS, Doctors and Nurses do, they find it all fascinating! Violet even gets excited about a trip to the Doctors and often asks if we can go (even when we don’t have an appointment 🙈) Violet’s Granny was a nurse and her Grandpa a Paramedic so I wonder if working in the medical profession runs in our family (skipping a generation with me!) and Violet will go on to follow the same path. It would certainly suit her caring, helpful personality so it’s something to think about for the future. For the time being, the girls have really enjoyed playing with the @smobyuk Medical Rescue Trolley. It’s a complete medical playset housed in a handy little trolley that can be pushed around the room to the next medical emergency! 🚑🩺😷 If you are thinking of getting this for your little medic, I've written a full review over on the blog, plus popped a few stories up too. I'll put the link to the post in my swipe up! 📈 #SmobyUK #blog100lockdown
    AD Things are all a bit uncertain at the moment, AD Things are all a bit uncertain at the moment, aren’t they? This weekend I set out to spread some positivity and joy by gifting one of my friends a gorgeous bunch of flowers and a brand new @RegattaOutdoors coat as a total surprise. My friend has been really good to us before lockdown, looking after the girls and walking Robbie - she deserved a lovely surprise! 💐 I was wearing my new coat from the brand new @KimberleyWalshOfficial ‘Kimberley Loves’ collection at @RegattaOutdoors too - which is oversized, super snuggly, warm, windproof (essential for living by the sea!) and stylish too - I love the leopard print trim! Winter coats don’t need to be drab! We headed out on a beautiful sunny, autumn crisp day and left the gifts on her doorstep (social distancing rules followed, of course!) My friend was so overjoyed when she opened the door! It felt so good to do a random act of kindness and spread the love! ✨ #thekimberleywalshcollection #spreadthelove ❤️
    AD PR products Violet and I were so excited to ha AD PR products Violet and I were so excited to have the chance to review this amazing bundle of treats from @blumedolls @chocolatepen_official and @pixelstarsdreamhouse this morning, we had so much fun! 🙌🏻 We have done a mini-review of each toy (plus some videos on stories) as all the toys would make excellent Christmas present ideas! 🎄 👯‍♀️ BLUME DOLLS : Violet was already a huge Blume fan, so when she saw the new Blume Rainbow Sparkle Surprise which has 3 Blume dolls which come hiding in their pots she was SO EXCITED! You pour water into the rainbow cloud which 'rains' down on them allowing them to grow and POP! out which was a huge surprise! Blume Baby Pop are also favourites, Violet is collecting the little babies and loves putting them in water for their gender reveal! ✨ 🏡 PIXEL STARS DIGITAL DREAMHOUSE: This is Violet's first digital game, it reminds me of my old tamagotchi's with an upgraded 2020 twist! With a colour screen you can adopt a pet, go shopping, make videos for your 'fans', cook and more! Violet has been playing with this non-stop and carrying it round the house, would be great for car journeys or keeping them busy eating out✨ 🍫 CHOCOLATE PEN: Does your little one love to bake? This takes cake & biscuit decorating to the next level! With the chocolate pen you can draw and ice elaborate chocolate sculptures and moulds to really make your cake creations stand out! Violet loved icing her cookies - adding loads of hearts and sprinkles into the warm chocolate, I think we need more practice on our designs though! 🤪 I'll pop some videos up on my stories which show how each product works in detail ✨ Toys can be bought from @smythstoys @argos and @amazonuk What are your little ones hoping to get for Christmas? 🎅🏻 #theworldofblume #blumedolls #chocolatepen #pixelstars @offclskyrocket
    Autumn Vibes 🍁🍂 We are only a couple of day Autumn Vibes 🍁🍂 We are only a couple of days into the lockdown and I have to say I'm fed up of it already. Thursday was LONG - it was a bump down to reality how difficult the girls are when we stay in the house all day. At one point I actually thought my watch had stopped as the day DRAGGED 😐😐. Friday we got out into the fresh air and the day was better, so I think fresh air is key. Even if it's just a little walk, it really lifted our spirits, plus the weather has been beautiful too! ☀️ Fingers crossed the sunshine stays for a little while! This time next week will be my birthday and I'm not sure how to celebrate! Have you had a lockdown birthday? What should I do? 🧁✨
