Sharing a bedroom tips and tricks (particularly if you have a large age gap)

Please note this post may contain affiliate links. This means that using them to shop doesn’t cost you anymore but I may receive a small amount of commission from any purchase.  One of the most common questions I get asked over on Instagram is about the kids sharing bedrooms. “Is it ok for them to share?” or “do they not mind not having their own rooms?” In our case, they absolutely love sharing. The boys are particularly close and have shared a room ever since Mason was old enough to leave the bedside crib in our room (about 9 months…

Next Boys Spring/Summer Wardrobe Staples 2018

I swear by Next for the kids wardrobe staples. I fondly remember the days of izzie being a tiny baby, and me and my mumpratcially buying out the shop of gorgeous pink clothes. Boys clothes are maybe not as exciting – I don’t always feel you have as much variation and choice, but I love in the Spring and Summer when there are loads of lovely bright wardrobe staples. Next quality is and has always been fantastic – Mason is now going into Ollie’s outgrown clothes again, and it all looks like new. As I’ve been poorly lately, I’ve been…

Joules Spring/Summer 2018 Kids Picks

Its no secret that I’m a HUGE Joules fan for kids clothing (and my own), and I particularly love their Spring and Summer Ranges, as the colours are all so bright and gorgeous and the quality is amazing. At the Summer range is now in the shops, I recently did a huge shop, as I like to get in there early so I can have the pick of the summer clothes before they start to sell out. I’ve made a video (linked at the bottom of this post) where I show you everything, but I thought I would write this…

Autumn Wishlist for Girls | Izzie’s Wardrobe

I love it when the seasons change and the new fashions come in. I love looking for myself (you can see my top picks for me here) but I also love looking for the kids. Izzie is a dream to dress, she is delightfully girly, and is more than happy to still let me pick her clothes (although she’s blatantly going to rebel majorly when she is a teenager in payback). She loves anything pink and brightly coloured. I’ve scoured some of my favourite brands and found some pieces I would love to add to her wardrobe for this autumn…

Joules Girls – Spring Style Wishlist

Its no secret I am a huge Joules fan – more often than not my kids (and me) will be decked out in their clothes. Ell says its because I’m a snob – far from it – their quality is second to none. Izzie really suits their clothes, and they last her for AGES. I’m not kidding when I tell you she has a dress that has lasted her 4 years – first as a dress and now as a tunic over jeans – and it still looks like new. With that in mind, and the fact that Joules have…

Ollie has outgrown all of last years clothes except a few of his tshirts and a couple of jumpers. As he is going to be at preschool 4 mornings a week 9-1 he will mainly wear a preschool sweatshirt and jeans, a decent coat and shoes. However he does need some clothes for Thursday’s and the weekend, so these are my picks…shopping trip ahoy!! Joules Long sleeve t-shirts £21.95 each  (Lion & Dinosaur) – I saw these the other day in store, and the mouths have a velcro opening, which is right up Ollie’s street. He has a few Joules…
