My City Break Capsule Wardrobe

For the first time in a very long time the husband and I are off on a European city break. It was something we used to do frequently before we had the boys. We tended to go in the Easter holidays and would pick a city to visit and would head off for a few nights. Barcelona was a city my husband had always wanted to visit, and with him turning the big 4-0 this summer we have booked a couple of night there without the children. We had booked to go in May but with the house only due…

Foxy Fashion for Autumnal Toddlers

I’m having a love affair with all things foxy at the moment. It started with G’s woodland themed nursery and has grown from there. G has a wardrobe bursting with summer wear but very little for the chillier weather so I’ve been doing a little bit of online window shopping and have been eyeing up some foxy fashion. Maybe it’s that the colour is perfect for Autumn, or that there is something cute about toddlers rocking the fox look but I’m in love.

Since having my two boys my weight has fluctuated constantly and it’s probably only now, over five years since having O that I am starting to feel a bit more body confident again. But as a woman in my mid-late 30’s I find that I don’t really know where to shop. I feel a bit too…

Back To Work Style – A Teachers Capsule Wardrobe

It has been a wonderful 10 months but the reality is the return to work is looming. I’m going to miss G and the school run with O but there is the tiniest part of me that is looking forward to it. I know within a week of my return I’ll be regretting that sentence but I am excited about seeing my work friends, having a chat over lunch and having a bit of alone time after school has finished. One of the things I am really excited about is getting dressed for work again. I feel like I have been…

Introducing Eco Badger – Guest Post

This is something a little different for me as I don’t normally accept guest posts but with a new year I’m hoping to make lots of positive changes, one of them is being a little more open to new and fresh ideas. Eco Badger is a new fashion company providing eco clothing to all ages. Without further ado I will hand over to Kelly (blogger at Nature Mum Blog) to tell you a little more about it: Some of you may know me as Nature Mum Blog. It is a kind of parenting lifestyle nature cooking blog. It doesn’t really have…
