StorkUp – a new concept in shopping for kids!
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last couple of months, you couldn’t fail to have noticed that there is an exciting new concept in shopping for your little ones. StorkUp is a shopping platform that has been developed by two moms, Claire and Fiona, who wanted to make shopping for children as exciting, fun and stress free as possible. And I, for one, think they may have found a way to do just that. What is Stork Up? As much as I love shopping for myself, I personally hate shopping for my little boy.

So I was very excited last week when I received an invite from my lovely friend and fellow blogger Emily Jayne to sample their latest afternoon tea offering which promised a real taste of Christmas.

Getting ready for Christmas – Paper, cards and all the trimmings
It really is nearly Christmas. So, if you’re anything like me, you will be in the middle of buying all your Christmas cards and paper, planning your Christmas food, and getting those last few decorations ready for the great big switch on (for me this is always December the 1st, and accompanied by a small glass of sherry and Slade of course.). There are so many stores out there offering everything you need to make it a perfect Christmas, so I thought I would show you a few of the my seasonal stops as I prepare for the most wonderful time of the year (cue Andy Williams please!). Decorations to…
