ABC's and 123's

I was looking for ideas for Alfie's birthday (things with the number 1 on) and came across these lovely bags.  Wouldn't the number bags make really cute party bags? And I love the idea of giving a present to someone in a bag with their initial on.  You can find these at Alphabet Bags.

Going Commando

Isn't this really cool for a boys room?  It's from Philip Watts Design, available at Not on the High Street.

Bonfire night

Happy 5th November!  I had planned sparklers with Jamie and Alfie in the garden but it's raining and Alfie has a cold :( so Alfie's tucked up in bed and me and Jamie are watching the fireworks from the window whilst Neil cooks my tea (yes, I know I'm lucky!)

This weekend Jamie's requested we get the play-doh out, so that's what we're doing tomorrow.  As it's so cold at the moment I think we'll make some yummy warming soup too...

Stella McCartney Kids

The new line of children's clothes designed by Stella McCartney is out today.  Have you checked it out?  There's lots of really nice basics in beautiful colours.  Go and have a look at Stella McCartney Kids.

Pretty notebooks

I'm a sucker for notebooks.  Especially gorgeous ones like these.  I'm a complete list-maker - at the moment I have lists of ideas for Christmas presents, a list of to-do's for Alfie's first birthday party (I'll be sharing the details of this with you soon!), a very long list of diy jobs that I'd like to get on with around the house, a list of food I need to buy this week......you see?  lists for everything.  But, it makes me feel ordered and organised and that makes me feel like I can tackle anything.

These beauties are available from here, here, and here.
