So, the last year...where to begin? At the beginning I guess. January this year we were just starting to settle into our new home in Devon. It was still feeling very new. People here seemed to move VERY slowly. There may have been a little bit of rage in supermarket queues when folks just stopped for a chat, but we got used to that. We booked in several workmen to do varying bits about the house. Occasionally they turned up at the scheduled times. Mostly they didn't, but we got used to that too. This year Mr B and I have both, without doubt, slowed ...
A Letter From Santa via the NSPCC
Children’s charity NSPCC have been bringing Christmas to life with their latest activity, Letter’s From Santa and asked me to get involved – spreading the word keeping the magic of Santa alive. To this end, I provided them with information about my son William including hobbies, achievements, friends and siblings and then the wonderful people at NSPCC worked their own Santa magic to produce an incredible response to William’s information provided. And here it is... LFS NSPCC to William There is still time to create one for your own children and print out ahead of ...
Monday Parenting Pin It Party #129
In our final parenting pin-it-party before Xmas we are heading on over to the inspirational Otilia from Romanian Mum. Do pop by and see who she has chosen as her featured pinners from last week's awesome lot. It is so strange to think that this time last year we had only just moved to the countryside and couldn't light a fire. Thankfully, the house is a lot warmer this year and we pretty much live now in our wellies. I hope it has been a good year for all of you. If you are new to the party, it is very lovely to have you here and, if you wish to join in, here is ...
Icon Wall Stickers…Too Cool For School
We get asked to review A LOT of stuff on this blog, which is lovely, but I have really been trying to scale back on this a bit lately. However, when I received an offer from Icon Wall Stickers and I clicked through...they had me. Straight away. I spent literally hours on their site staring at their gorgeous decals trying to narrow down which one to try out. Eventually the dinosaurs won. The dinosaurs always win. So, introducing the newest addition to Casa B, aptly named by my daughter as 'Big Dinosaur'... He is so cool. He was also surprisingly easy to ...
Monday Parenting Pin It Party #128
Welcome to a brand new week lovely pinners. Hope you all had a fab weekend. This week I am happy to be hosting another monday #pinitparty.

Her blog is so full of great craft ideas ...
Our Little Morning Dance
This morning was an unexpected one. To be perfectly honest, having had my work clinic cancelled due to too few patients, I had kind of scheduled in a hiding-under-the-duvet-day. But yesterday you threw up at nursery. Just a little but you were pale enough to worry them enough to send you home. I was in Bristol, sorry darling, but Daddy came to get you. And, thankfully, although today you are completely fine you are on the dreaded 48 hour nursery ban. So now, today, it is just me and you. I love this time. It is only since your brother started ...
The art of surprise….(or lack of)
Those following my Instagram feed may have noticed that Mr B and I have recently returned from a few days away in Rome. This was a particularly special trip as Mr B turned the grand old age of 40. Was it a surprise trip? No. I have been banned from booking surprise trips. Many years ago, and with an anniversary nearing, I decided to treat us to a last minute holiday. I spent hours scouring the internet until I found the perfect resort, Dubrovnik. Having never visited Croatia before, and Mr B the same, I was immediately taken with the beautiful coastlines, the old historic town and ...

Amazing Kids Furniture From Sue Ryder Online
I am sure many of you will be familiar with Sue Ryder and the incredible work that they do providing hospice and neurological care for so many facing a frightening and often life-changing diagnosis. I am also sure that many of you are familiar with their shops in high streets across the country. You may have even donated to them yourself. But how many of you knew they also have an online store? I didn't. I was recently approached by them and offered the chance to review an item of furniture from this incredible Sue Ryder online store and I was utterly taken aback by the ...
