If you’ve been reading here a while you’ll know I am a bit of a wallpaper obsessive. My affections are easily won by some pretty paper awaiting pasting. My latest love is this new Robot Wallpaper from Studio Ditte. The robots seem to have so much humour in them especially their mismatched eyes. At €135 […]

Hotness: New Roddy & Ginger logpile wallpaper
The woodland theme is an enduring trend (Have you seen Lucy’s excellent roundup for woodland themed bedrooms?) and I’m loving the new line of contemporary, eco friendly logpile wallpaper by south east London based designers Roddy & Ginger, who are already a hotspot for all things owl and deliciously retro. Available in moss yellow (my […]

10 best: buys from museum shops
  Museums have come a long way in recent years. Gone are the days of the provision for children being limited to a photocopied worksheet – today’s institutions have all-singing, all-dancing interactive exhibits and activities galore. Look out for Myf’s upcoming post on Eureka! – it sounds amazing. Clearly launched as a bid to augment […]
Loveabell bell tent hire
When my friend Dave invited us to a camping weekend for his 40th birthday I immediately went to bagsy the campervan we share with four friends. But, shock horror, someone had got there before us, so I decided it was the perfect opportunity to book a bell tent, as I’d wanted to stay in […]
Tom Frost stamp silkscreen prints
You don’t need to be into philately to appreciate these fabulous prints by Bristol-based illustrator Tom Frost. Silk-screened and a limited-edition of 70, there are 17 different designs and it would look amazing with a few grouped together in an animal, woodland or bird-themed nursery. I love them all, but my favourites are this deliciously […]

5 Great Books About Starting School
We seriously heart Usborne sticker books which saw us through 8 flights on our recently holiday to the US. Themed, enthralling for kids, and educational too, I wasted no time getting the Starting School version which helps to build conversations around the imminent Big Day and make links between their own concepts of what’s happening. […]
Decker – bus print storage bench
Ah, we’re a bit weak for cool storage around here plus we love transport inspired goodies for kids, so of course I could feel the shopping palpitations seizing me when I saw this Decker storage bench over at Made.com. If you’ve never heard of the site and are fond of affordable design for the home, […]
Bedtime Meditations by Christiane Kerr
Of all the possible parenting trials and tribulations, fate dealt us a child who doesn’t like to fall asleep. In the grand scheme of things I’m ok with that I suppose, especially when we consider all the other possibilities we’ve dodged – Tabs was never a bedwetter, a biter or a terrible eater, for example […]
Cool Spot: Camp Bestival 2011
Now I’ve washed the last load after the weekend in children’s paradise that is Camp Bestival, I can tell you about it. In case you don’t know (where have you been?) it’s an annual four-day festival organised by Rob and Josie da Bank, the husband-and-wife creative team behind Bestival, held in the stunning surroundings of […]
Sands Resort
The Sands Resort is a family owned family-friendly hotel located on the North Cornwall coast at Porth. It sits on top of the cliffs with stunning views of both the Atlantic and the rolling Cornish countryside. Packed with such a wealth of on site facilities and activities I literally couldn’t fit them all into one […]
Super Hot: Moleskine Baby Journal
I know a lot of Moleskine addicts so I think the baby journal from their ‘passions’ collection of notebooks designed for documenting the loves of your life, is bound to be hugely popular. From pregnancy through to the first two years of baby’s life, this subtle yet super stylish 240 page notebook with embossed cover, […]
Five Go Glamping: Bambino Goodies at Feather Down Farm
The romantic idea of camping with my children was shattered on our first trip two years ago. After two wet nights in a small space with Milla, then 2 and Monty 3 months old it only took a bad shower for me to call time and start packing the car. Fast forward two years and […]
10 Medieval Fancy Dress Ideas for Camp Bestival
If you’ve ever been to Bestival or Camp Bestival, you’ll know that dressing up is all part of the fun. Every year, organiser Rob da Bank decides on a theme for the Saturday and there’s a big parade involving as many festival-goers as possible. This year’s Camp Bestival theme is medieval, so think knight, princesses, […]
Leaf Peepers foil print by Graham Carter
Owls! Shiny owls! I’m completely head over heels with this amazingly gorgeous piece of artwork by Graham Carter. One of his latest series of hot foil silkscreen printed pieces (others include a panda made up of birds, bears fishing and yetis hibernating), it is a limited-edition of 100 and also comes in red. I adore […]
Little Sapling Toys Brainbow
One of the loveliest presents Alfie received as a baby was a Grimm’s wooden stacking rainbow. He loved fitting the arcs together then and still enjoys playing with it now. I really love Little Sapling’s neutral take on the theme, the Brainbow, about £20 – a beautiful set of six arches in Maple, Cherry and […]
Sean Sims Brighton Line prints
Maybe it’s because I’m a Brightonian, but I am wowed by the latest set of signed giclee prints by artist Sean Sims. We’ve featured his cool alphabet poster and individual letter cards before, but I think these are even more brilliant. There are seven prints in total, featuring landmarks such as the Pavilion, the Volks […]
Exclusive: Jennie Maizels Fabric
We love a good tip off and this afternoon we heard the sizzling hot news that Jennie Maizels has teamed up with Linwood Fabric to design a line of fabric. Jennie Maizels is a seasoned illustrator, author and creator of Clothes Plasters (stocked all over including Liberty where they sold out due to high […]
Children’s Theatre Review: Oliver Jeffers’ Lost and Found
Having just seen Way Back Home in an intimate theatre seated on the floor we then saw Travelling Light’s version of Lost and Found inside a theatre with traditional tiered seating. I was worried the children might have been a bit detached from the action but I needn’t have been. The boy (who unlike the […]
Inspiration: Duplo Walls
This is very cool – a room lined floor to ceiling in Duplo baseplates turning the space into their own miniature Lego land. For those beyond Duplo, you can do the same thing with Lego baseplates. I don’t think I could do an entire room but a feature wall would work very well. Baseplates are […]
