So, all too quickly it is the end of April and time for me to share with you My Five Favourite Finds. 1. My iPad Finally I am catching up with the world around me and have got my very own iPad (about time considering I work in Social Media!!) This has got to be my most favourite find of the month, if not the year, I’m loving finding new apps, browsing in bed and being connected on the run. It’s everything you’ve heard it is AND MORE. Much thanks must go to my very clever and very generous husband …  Read More »

What is nicer than receiving real post in the post box?? NO, not the avalanche of bills and advertising but REAL letters! The forgotten art of letter writing and postcard posting is making a comeback… and to help it on it’s way Postick have launched a super cute new product – the Postik Postcard Sticker. So what is A Postick? It’s a white adhesive label that you can stick to the back of (almost) anything to turn it into a postcard. It has rounded corners, it’s slightly smaller than your average photograph and it has the normal postcard-backing lines printed …  Read More »

Well not to worry, you can look like one of those fashionable moms and you won’t need to neglect your kids or hire a nanny to get there. The key is to design your wardrobe to make it work for you. Here are a few steps to get you …  Read More »

I recently found this wonderful idea online and thought I should share it with you as it really is something I am going to start this year. A quick and easy New Year resolution that is inspiring, thoughtful, fun, sentimental – what more could you want? The idea is to keep a track of all the cute and quirky things your kids say by writing them down as soon as they are said – any old piece of paper you can find will do (an old envelope, till receipt, page from your diary), just jot down the quote, who said …  Read More »

One of my favourite questions to ask people when meeting them for the first time is: “How did you meet?” (if they are together as a couple obviously!) I find it often tells you a little bit more about the persons in question than just the surface question and usually starts off a great conversation with more than a few laughs!! And many times I have been surprised by the “Soap opera” stories – a few are positively messy! It’s so interesting to me to discover the amazing ways that people meet and connect and ultimately continue to have a …  Read More »

Besides the multitude of changes that occur when you have your first baby, one of the ones which creeps up on you quietly is how suddenly you rather choose to spend money on your kids than yourself!
