8 reasons why you’re addicted to Lidl

In February, a brand new Lidl opened in my home town, and after having practically never set foot in a Lidl in my life, now my addiction to the German discounter is very real. I can’t believe I was missing out on everything Lidl has to offer all this time! What was I thinking? Enjoy 8 reasons why you’re addicted to Lidl! 8 reasons why you’re addicted to Lidl 1.

How to protect your baby’s skin in winter

Welcome back my friend! The UK is currently experiencing a cold snap, with bitter freezing fog, snow flurries and sub zero temperatures making most of us feel like heading under our duvets! It goes without saying that you’ll be wondering how to protect your baby’s skin in winter. We all know our baby’s skin needs protection in winter, but what makes baby skin so sensitive? Well, baby skin is actually more permeable and prone to dryness than adult skin – so it needs more protection. Did you know that baby skin loses water faster than adult skin, too? Unfortunately for our little ones, their skin is more susceptible to damage from the environment, which can cause wider problems.

It’s your 4th birthday, Cara!

Dear Cara, Every time I write your birthday letter, I’m never lost for words. You are so full of personality and life. You are unashamedly strong, brave, and bold. It’s your 4th birthday, Cara, and we’re so happy to celebrate with you! This year, I’m remembering how we made the most of every moment in our new garden over summer – we shot water bombs, giggled and splashed in our paddling pool, and gazed at the clouds from the trampoline, exhausted from bouncing. When we’re not at home, the beach is your favourite place to be, and you’re always wearing shorts. In fact, you’re still wearing them in November! You have a real eye for choosing your own clothes and rarely let me choose your clothes or dress you. You totally own it! Sometimes we end up with some unique style choices, but they’re all your own. You still love…
