Tweet A few weeks ago, photobox contacted me and asked me to review one of their photo gift ideas. Initially I was going to go for a photo book, but then I decided I would see how the canvas prints turned out. I signed up for an account (very easy), uploaded my photo (again, easy) [...]

Tweet Earlier this week, I was kneeling down to change Little M’s nappy for the eleventy third time that day when I felt a pop at my knee. Despite my wearied body, it was not actually my knee, but my jeans. After nearly three years of crawling around after little folk, my favourite jeans have [...]

Tweet December always makes me happy. Once you hit the first of December it’s like a switch is flicked and everything becomes festive and magical. This year is even more exciting than normal. Big M is 2 3/4 and it is magical watching her discover christmas and the excitement that comes with it. Last month [...]

Tweet I don’t tend to wear many colourful clothes. Mostly I live in black, grey or brown. Especially for work. However, I love wearing stupid colourful socks inside my boots. Knowing I have them on makes me feel less grown up and sensible while I teach my lessons and do grown up stuff like buying [...]

Tweet Seven years ago, way back when we spent our Friday nights out with friends and our Saturdays finding hangover cures, my boyfriend gave me this bracelet for my birthday. He is awesome at choosing jewellery. It is simple, yet different and I love it. Always have. It rarely leaves my right arm. If I do [...]

Tweet Beth at I should be folding laundry is giving away a $50 gift certificate for the Vintage Pearl. The jewellery is beautiful, and even if I don’t win, I will be dropping some huge subtle hints and/or treating myself to something in the near future. Clue: I like the idea of having the initials of our [...]
