Ross & Ross Father's Day Gift Idea

This June the 18th Mathew, my husband, is a father for reals not just daddy to our Shih Tzu. When Ross & Ross contacted me to see if I was interested in reviewing one of their man boxes for a Fathers day post I thought that was the perfect solution to my present finding problem! Obviously Mat has been given his present early this year as I really want to find out straight from the horses mouth whether this is something you should be picking up for your fathers and partners. 

Island Stories Blogger Event

Oh I do love a blogging event, it's a great excuse for me to get out of the house and talk to grown ups and when the event involves food I am pretty much in my element.

Matchstick Monkey aka teething lifesaver

After reading about the Matchstick monkey over on the beautiful Eilidh's blog (original post HERE) I just had to pick one up for Lylie. I'd ordered one in the brightest of pink before I had even finished reading the post, and although there hasn't been much left unsaid about this incredible teething toy I have been recommending them to the masses so felt a blog post was required.

Zatchel Sugarcube Bag

If it is gold and metallic it is pretty likely I am going to want it!

Lylie is SIX Months

I can not believe that it has already been a whole SIX months since my little angel was born. It seems like five minutes ago that I was carrying around that big bump on my ridiculously swollen ankles!
