I love being asked to write a “find me a…” post. Not only does it give me an excuse to pore over various online shopping portals, but I enjoy hearing whether or not the person I’ve been doing some personal shopping for actually likes the items you have chosen! Continue reading

rain, rain, go away…
More autumn lamenting. When I sat down this morning to do some writing, I had intended to get out and about and get the kids in the lovely crisp autumn morning as soon as I was done. As time went on, the clouds changed colour to an ominous dark grey and the inevitable happened. Continue reading
the future’s bright…
I can’t believe it is autumn already. Some days are still so warm and my children are still managing to wear some of their summer clothes.
I am a clothes finding ninja. {bows slowly}
As we sat down for coffee a couple of weeks ago, my friend Katie said to me “you like looking at websites for children’s clothes, right?” It was disappointing to hear this from a woman who has become a great friend of mine over the last three years (we paid to be each other’s friend we met at NCT classes) as when she said that, I felt like she DIDN’T KNOW ME AT ALL.

That’s too many for one post (even for me!) so lucky you gets another post from me!. In the meanwhile, I managed to find sooo many more cutesy and cool pairs of shoes and boots, that I felt the shoes deserved their own post, and the boots deserved another, so now there’s going to be a part 3! A veritable trilogy of shoes and boots, if you will! Can you imagine anything any better?!

But Otis was really poorly as I was getting him ready for bed, and then was ill during the night. I slept on his bedroom floor just to make sure he was ok overnight (last time he had a sickness bug he ended up being hospitalised) so today was spent in pyjamas.
