Last week I was invited along to experience Taste of London in Regents Park, on a beautiful midweek sunny evening. Taste of London, if you’ve not heard of it before is the world’s greatest restaurant festival. It’s the definitive guide…
I’ve been testing out this machine for a few weeks now, and wanted to bring you my first impressions; what I’ve found out so far, and how easy it has been to set up and use. My full Siemens AvantGarde iSensoric…
A little while ago I went to visit Clas Ohlson at one of their stores in Manchester. It’s not a brand I’m too familiar with but I was blown away by their story, their passion and most importantly, their products.…
I’ve been a long-time fan of Joseph Joseph products in real life and on the blog. I’ve bought many pieces from them for my kitchen over the years, and was once even featured in a Brand magazine talking about my love…
As you may have guessed from yesterday’s post here, I’ve been finishing off the house renovations by creating my very own little home office. The furniture has been in for a week now, and I can’t tell you the difference…
If you’ve been following the attic conversion here on the blog, or on social media, you’ll know that it’s almost done. We’ve had a few more developments in the last week since the last blog post, but I’m going to…
Last week I took a day out from the laptop and enjoyed a much-needed day at my local Day Spa. Along with my great blogging pals Becky, Penny and Amanda, I visited Eden Hall Day Spa to try out their…
As a blogger I am lucky enough to go behind the scenes of a company. I get to see how the company thinks, talk to those in the know and really get a feel for how companies and products evolve.…
Today’s post is a review of the Slumberdown Airstream Mattress Topper. I’ve always veered away from trying a mattress topper. They’re renowned for making the bed very hot overnight and that wasn’t something that appealed to me or the husband.…
Last weekend, after returning from our wonderful holiday, we invited the family round for a little get together and catch up. It gave us a the perfect opportunity to try out this beautiful set of Butterfly Bloom plates from Wedgwood.…
A few weeks ago I took a sneaky midweek break to meet up with a friend. She’s from the North and of course, I’m in the Midlands. When you have children and a busy schedule it’s hard to find time…
As you may know from this post we commissioned an architect at the end of last year to begin drawing plans to convert our attic space into a bedroom and small en-suite. That last post looks at the initial plans…
No matter how hard I try to keep things organised and sorted, as a family we seem to accumulate more and more things. The garden is no exception, and our once under utilised garden shed is now bursting at the…
Are you getting your home Spring ready? Did you manage lots of DIY and maybe some renovations over the Easter weekend? In another blost post, a competition to win some Polefit Bedding, I’ve been asking what readers do to revamp…
I have a bit of love of round mirrors currently. They seem to be everywhere, and I love the aesthetic against contemporary, often strong edged interiors. I’ve also noticed this growing trend for strap hung versions too, which feel very…
I have a long, narrow hallway in our Victorian semi, and have tried a lot of different runners on the floor. Some have been more successful than others, but because of the proximity to the front door and the amount…
The Giveaway has ended. Congratulations to Alica Hopkins Ever since the kitchen was reorganised when we reviewed the incredible Samsung American Fridge Freezer, I lost my most favourite chalkboard sticker. I’m sure lots of you know how busy working mums…
So the long dark Winter is dragging on, and somehow Spring seems an age away. As much as I want to spend time outside, it’s cold, icy and not much fun when everyone is whining about how chilly they are.…
