I am someone who really feels the cold. As such, by the time we get to spring I’m usually pretty miserable and just can’t wait for summer! Thank goodness we’ve had some beautifully warm spring days recently (although, typically, I’ve had norovirus or Covid for most of the nicer weather we’ve had so far). Despite my hate of the cold, I do love a walk in the woods or by the sea at any time of the year. It’s so good for our health to get outside as much as possible. If it’s a chilly or windy day, I just need to wrap up warm and get myself outside before I overthink it. The promise of hot chocolate or a delicious soup on our return home never goes amiss either. A few months ago, Lighthouse Clothing approached me to review one of their products. The red Abigail coat instantly caught my eye. The navy version is lovely too, but I do love a pop of colour!

As someone who suffered from anxiety as a child, I know the importance of being aware of and taking care of our mental health from a young age first-hand. Books are always a great way of introducing this! We were recently sent a copy of The Drama Llama by Rachel Morrisroe, which looks at the topic of worries and how to handle them.
Review: Eco Plush Collection
Ad – Gifted¦ National Earth Day falls on 22nd April, bringing the importance of climate change to the forefront of our minds. Many of us are making more eco-friendly choices in our lives. I know I personally have made a lot of swaps in my life over the last few years. I’ve used cloth nappies on both Autumn and Reuben, have used reusable water bottles for years and have eco-friendly cork encased deodorant. However, cuddly toys aren’t something that have crossed my mind too often. Eco Plush collection toys are an eco-conscious choice which are made from 100% recycled materials! Let’s take a closer look…
Easter trail and activities at Hever Castle
Ad – Gifted¦ Hever Castle just outside Edenbridge is one of our favourite places to explore as a family. It always looks beautiful and feels magical, no matter what season it is or what the weather is like. We hadn’t been in almost a year and were delighted to be invited back to put their children’s Easter trail and activities to the test! These run until 18th April, so they’ll be on for the rest of the school holidays too.
