Touchscreens are still very much a novelty in all our lives. They certainly couldn’t be called  a passing fad, that’s for sure. And as much as we hate to admit it, the chances are that we are all guilty of using them a little too much. I know I am.   I recall telling my husband in no uncertain terms whilst clutching my beloved Nokia 6310 that I would “never” resort to reading the news on a mobile phone or tablet, preferring to take a trip to the paper shop instead. It didn’t take me long to skip over to the ‘dark side’. These days, whatever is written in the morning papers seems such ol..

In no time at all we should be ushering in the spring but instead we’re still swaddled in scarves, hats and the obligatory big coats.   The weather hasn’t been all bad news however. It resulted in my best night’s sleep for a decade in fact when Storm Doris came knocking overnight. My terrified daughter ushered me in for some company as the wind whisked through the trees making noises I’ve only ever heard on a low budget horror flick.   I realised her child’s double bed - complete with luxury mattress of course - was made for such moments as I nestled in and told happy stories to h..

Whether your half term is just starting or almost wrapping up, we hope you’ve had - or are about to have - a fabulous fun-filled time. It goes without saying that children love this little reprieve from school, but for mums, (well, me to be precise) it’s often a different story.   It’s not that I don’t love my children and don’t want to spend time with them, of course I do! Honestly! It’s more that I’m a lover of routine, certainty and above all, caaaaaaaaaalm. Oh, and a tidy house too. However, unless I do a moonlight flit and leave this life of chaos behind me I don’t think that’s EVER..

At Little Lucy Willow we take children’s safety extremely seriously. That’s why all our furniture is built to comply with British Safety Standards. This is crucial in the design of all our products, not least our bunk beds, which we believe are among the safest on the market today.     When choosing a bunk bed for your child, first consider current guidelines which recommend that such beds are not suitable for children under 6 years of age. Secondly, look out for something solid, stable and robust that conforms to BS standards. In the UK, this means that manufacturers must adhe..

Get those big bad coats on folks, it’s literally freeeeeezing out there! These dark, cold days and even darker, colder nights make me want to be in one place and one place only - MY BED! I’m not one for lounging, I never have been but when it’s arctic, drab and...Monday...why on earth would I want to get up and embrace that?       Looby Lou Double Bed     I recently attempted various life-tweaks to get me out of bed in the morning. Going to sleep earlier, not having that last glass of wine, I even researched and downloaded a new wake-up alarm tone on my phone. The ..

The clocks go forward this weekend, or is it back? We google it, we ask around and we triple check by watching the news. In fact there is an easy way to remember - simply ‘spring’ forward and ‘fall’ back. I know, another pesky Americanism, but who cares as long as we don’t turn up to work an hour early!     The official time we go back to Greenwich Mean Time is 2am on Sunday, October 30th, so get those reminders stuck on the fridge and get ready for your lie in! Although we’ve been doing this for years - some more years than others - it still never fails to confuse us. We spend..

So the new school term is well under way. With any luck, your children will be sleeping soundly and waking up happy, refreshed and ready to face each day.   But if not, hang on in there, it WILL get better!       In the meantime take a look at our helpful hints below. Experts say that increasing your child’s sleep by as little as half an hour each day can result in dramatic improvements in their schoolwork, attitude and general well being so it really is worth making the effort to get it right - not least if it means less back chat in the mornings!   Here goes…  ..

So the kids are back at school, all that holiday washing is finally done (those pesky sleeping bags take forever to dry. Whose idea was it to go camping anyway?) and your house is in a state of considerable calm.   But if you’re still not feeling at one with the world, then maybe you need a little therapy - of the retail kind.   As a mother, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing my girls tucked up in bed each night feeling sleepy, calm and content. At this time of year they are always tired after a long day at school and are really ready to rest. So how lovely then to send t..
