Looking back at my posts over the year, I realised that I never blogged about Lucy’s completed bedroom. It all took a little longer than expected, as we had to build an extension to the house in order to put the older girls in together. And then I couldn’t bear the thought of Lucy moving out of our bedroom, so her bedroom refurbish took place over many...

I realise the school year hasn’t yet finished, but there has been lots of discussion on Facebook on what we can all be doing now to prepare for the year ahead – especially for those who are about to be granted “school-Mum” status for the very first time. So with the assistance of the wonderful Mummy Smiles community, I have put together some...

I can’t believe it took me so long to solve this dilemma. We had a problem in the children’s bathroom – there was a very real chance that we were about to be buried alive under a mountain of towels. With every new child to join the household, we had to find a new place to hang their towel. When Lucy arrived on the scene, our towel hanging system...

Things have changed since I had my first baby 7 years ago. Back then, highchairs were all about big foofy cushions and bright colours. I can’t tell you the number of times I had to remove the entire cushion, take it outside and hose it clean.

This year I thought I might be organised for a change...
