Making Pancakes with BlueZoo and Debenhams
Pancake Day must be rated as Joe’s favourite food event, he absolutely loves them, especially if eaten with ice cream or chocolate sauce. I, on the other hand, hate them with a passion, which, in the past, has made Shrove Tuesday, aka Pancake Day, a total non-event for me. But taking Joe’s love for the stuff into account, an invitation from Debenhams, and, in particular their fabulous clothing brand BlueZoo, to make pancakes with some new kitchen equipment` and lovely new season clothes for Joe was an offer that we couldn’t refuse. It was off to the supermarket to get batter mix and eggs for us. Pancakes are such a…

Ikea’s Time Travel experiment with Jeff & Beth
We have all seen the first part of the hilarious Ikea Time Travel Experiment campaign, where a young couple were hypnotized by the fabulous hypnotist Justin Tranz. They believed they were in their future, complete with a grown up daughter and a home, which was, in fact, the room within an IKEA store. (You can revisit that ad here.) The second part of the campaign has now been released, and this time it stares Jeff and Beth, who, once again, were hypnotized into believing they were experiencing very real life in the bathrooms and bedrooms of their local IKEA store. The new film is side-splitting funny, with Jeff and Beth…

Revamp your living room with John Lewis
If you’ve ever looked around your living room and longed to see something different, then you will know exactly where this post is coming from. My son Joe is now five, and it is safe to say that in his five years he has done his utmost to wreck the house. From crayon on the laminate floor, to endless drinks spilled on the sofa and cushions, children have absolutely no understanding of just how much you love your sofa, or why you treasured that vase, or why carpets and biscuits just don’t mix. But completely redecorating a room does not come cheap, and whilst your kids are still under the…

Making the most of your bathroom space
In previous posts I have mentioned that this is the year of home improvements for my house. Joe is now five, and the era of drawing on the walls, bouncing toys off the floor and generally wrecking the house seems to have finally come to an end. This means that the areas of the house that had got a little shabby and in need of love can now be addressed without the worry of spending good money after bad. The first room we decided to tackle was the bathroom. We had made a start on this last year (you can read that post here) when we took part in a…
