I honestly don’t know how I would have survived without wipes for the last six years. For every nappy explosion, paint disaster, runny nose, rotting fruit picker-upper, they’ve been there. If I had to cite only one parenting essential, that would be it – no contest. That’s why I was thrilled to hear my go-to brand, Huggies, […]

Essentials – The Socks
A bit late to the sock party, and embarrassingly slow to move on from shamefully hiding socks deep down in your shoe to flaunting them proudly over your trainers. Always happy to embrace a trend that is comfortable though, and there is something about seeing a flash of glitter – where you’d usually expect something […]
Essentials – The Kettle

Essentials – The Mug
There’s loads of ‘mama merch’ (cringe) around, and most of it is really really dreadful.

This mug has to […]
Essentials – The Hair Clip
You know when you envision something in your mind, but you can’t for the life of you find it anywhere? That’s how I feel about this hair clip. I wanted a perfectly minimalist, clean gold outline. Something simple. It’s the little things that are the hardest to find though, and weeks of absent-mindedly looking didn’t turn […]
