Ways to Autumn Clean your house
So we’ve all heard about the great Spring Clean but does your house need an Autumn Clean too? We had a lovely autumnal walk to the library and back today. The toddler is curious about the seasons so we try to collect as many little treasures on our walks as the size of his pockets…

Young children and elderly people…
Britax DUALFIX car seat
Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been busy testing the latest car seat from Britax, the dual-position seat called DUALFIX, due to my role as a Britax Mumbassador.
