Written by Sophie Gorton, she is a travel enthusiast who has recently moved to London. As fun as taking a trip with other people can be, there can be no doubt that it can also be worrying and stressful. From the planning stages to getting everyone together when you’re away, holidays are a tricky thing to balance and manage. There…
Wetmore Forest is an imaginary rainforest in the Pacific Northwest and it’s the home of six monsters, each with their own personalities and looks! They’re now available from John Lewis, and creatures include plush cuddly toys, story books and Funko Pop! characters. Although they’re called monsters they’re actually very loveable and quite cute too! Here’s an intro to the gang……
Bosh, another month has flown past and we’re on the countdown to a new decade. How crazy! Here’s my roundup of bits and bobs from the last month… Made I’ve been doing some more baking, as always happens when it’s dark and miserable in the Winter! So far just cupcakes and cookies but I’d love to buy chocolate moulds online and experiment…
I forgot we took our Viaduct photos at the start of the month so took another one when we were in Kent last weekend. I love the colours in this photo and it will always remind me Arlo and I taking a detour and ending up on our own in the middle of nowhere off the main walkway, singing ‘I’m…
We adore books in this house, both fact and fiction. I’ve put together some great ideas from both categories that kids (and big kids!) will love! There is also a giveaway at the end of the post too… Little Monstries Big Adventures: available here. Little Monstrie is a shy student at school, and has lots of challenges to overcome, and …
We stayed at YHA Canterbury in one of their cosy wooden lodges. We explored Canterbury town, the Christmas markets and the local woodland. It was the perfect base!
Collaborative post. There is nothing more exciting than being able to redecorate your home. Sure, it’s a huge undertaking and you will almost certainly have a lot to get on with, but decorating gives your home a fresh new look. It gives you a chance to breathe a little life into the place that you call home, while also getting…

We have been sent Toffee the Pony from the Emotion Pets range available at Very. Toffee the Pony is a super soft plush toy with animatronic eyes…
Two Frozen 2 toys that are sure to be popular this Christmas – Singing Elsa & Playdate Sven!
There’s always that one small room in the house that we struggle to make full use of. If it’s not the bedroom for the unlucky sibling, it’s used as some sort of dumping ground for bits and pieces which you just haven’t managed to find a home for yet. This is usually because no-one wants to spend too much time…
I bet we all want to be one of those clean & organized individuals, right, because who wouldn’t? Getting rid of things to declutter your home is something we don’t always believe about because you generally want to get rid of things as quickly as possible when you’re doing it. Unfortunately, that attitude can actually make the method more difficult.…
In a bid to reduce waste and give useful gifts this year will be the second year we’ve used a ‘fill your own’ advent calendar.
