Celebrating Autumn’s 2nd Birthday
A victim of period-based taboo?
On Saturday night, I was scrolling on Facebook when I saw a headline that angered me: “Girl sat in blood-soaked clothes after teacher said she couldn’t go to the toilet”. This story on Metro evoked powerful memories of being a teenage girl. I’d worry, thinking “What do I do if my period starts at school?” Once I’d started menstruating, I worried about being allowed to leave class should I need to, or worse, leaking.
Dressing for the occasion with Roco Clothing
Finding an outfit for an occasion is often quite a task, even when it comes to children’s clothing. I spend ages trawling the internet and the local shopping centre until I find the right outfit. Somewhere you may not heard of before is Roco Clothing. They have beautiful clothes for girls and boys which are perfect for any event on your social calendar. We were recently sent a gorgeous dress and shoes for Autumn – here’s what we thought:

Review: Muru Jewellery
I love fashion, but am notoriously picky when it comes to accessories. If my mum wants to buy me a handbag for Christmas, for instance, she’ll ask me to send her a list of ones I do like. It’s a similar story when it comes to jewellery. When an email arrived in my inbox from Muru jewellery I went to have a peek at their site, sceptical about whether there were many pieces I would like. So, what was my verdict?
Autumn’s Mummy Blog at BlogOnToys
I can’t believe the time has come again for BlogOn! I enjoyed last September’s Christmas themed BlogOn so much and am so excited to be heading back to Manchester this weekend for more Christmassy fun at BlogOnToys. Blogging conferences are a whirlwind of fun, learning and socialising and I really recommend BlogOn as there is such a lovely atmosphere. Anyway, until now I have somehow missed that there was an introduction linky. So, here are my answers to the questions!

Three days exploring Cornwall with a toddler
At the end of August, we squeezed a little holiday to Cornwall in. We wanted to surprise my family and kept costs down by camping.
