Many children are still off school but the holidays are over in our house. Thankfully. Don’t get me wrong, I love spending time with my girls but there comes a point when I am reduced to little more then a prisoner in my own home. Anchored amongst the rapids with a ferocious tide of barefoot children racing past. Laughing, dancing and singing, leaving a trail of destruction - and sweet wrappers - behind them.   All I can do is wait for the boredom to set in, the giggles to subside and the kettle to boil (again) before their next game starts up with a flurry of excitement as I stare o..

It’s that time of year when many of us get itchy feet around the home, prompting a few subtle changes here and there.   You might decide to reorganise your furniture to breathe new life into an otherwise tired room, or you could simply opt to swap old accessories for new.   This early spring clean might start out in the kitchen before extending into the hallway and the lounge, eventually resulting in a top to toe overhaul of every room in the house!   By the time you reach the children’s bedrooms you have probably discovered your ruthless streak, disposing of anything in you..

To celebrate, we are offering 20% off all gifts in our designated Valentine’s section until midnight on Sunday.   Seeing as our lives will soon be riddled with romance (fingers crossed) I thought we could show our little ones that we love them lots too!   At Little Lucy Willow we know how much little girls adore hearts and fairytales and we believe our gorgeous Looby Lou children's furniture range captures their dainty dreams just perfectly.   Looby Lou low..

So December is here and the madness has just gone up a notch. You’ve got presents to buy for everyone and his dog - then wrap them - a Christmas dinner for 14 to organise and somewhere amongst that lot you must shoehorn in your yearly visits to loved ones, or make space in your home for them to visit you.

It’s time. We must down tools and get those Christmas thinking caps on.   Outfits, food, decorations and most importantly - presents!   The biggest gifts are usually the easiest ones to sort out. The ones we know will be greeted with howls of delight and eternal thanks (for about two weeks at least...). We can get these boxed off, boxed up and ready to go under the tree.   It’s the little ones that get us all in a tizzy. What can we possibly put in those stockings that won’t get cast aside like an old stinky sock the moment they’re unwrapped?   Well here at Little Luc..

What could possibly feel better than clambering into bed on a cold, dark night with a heavy head and happy heart? Nothing quite springs to mind...   We hope this is how our children feel when they’ve climbed the apples and pears each evening. Safe, warm and sleepy.   I love to see them teddy in hand, droopy-eyed and smiling. But what I love most of all is pulling their warm bedspreads over their little bodies for one last cuddle before their eyes close and they’re lost to the land of nod.   It does help of course if you have gorgeous bedding to be snuggled up in, not least a ..

Phew! So that’s half term out of the way. I hope you all survived the mayhem. I did but I can’t honestly say that I’m in one piece.   It was Martha’s birthday party and this year she chose the one place that paralyses me with fear. No, it wasn’t the ghost train at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, or IKEA on a Saturday afternoon for that matter. It was one of those pesky trampoline parks.   Now I did my research and told all the mums that if their children were under the age of six they would need to be accompanied by an adult. Seeing as Martha was turning six and is one of the older ones ..

I know you probably don't want to hear this, but it's time, I'm afraid, to start thinking about...just wait while I crawl under the desk and cover my ears...Christmas!   I am as reluctant as you probably are believe me, but time is pushing on and there are presents to be bought, so come on, chop chop.   Just in case you are resting on your laurels and think there is literally bags of time until the big fella jumps into your chimney pot - so to speak - let me show you my autumn pics.           These images of Heskin Hall, taken over the last three we..

So half term is almost upon us. Is it just me or is time whizzing by at the speed of a top Federer serve?   If you are dreading the prospect of a week with the children, then fear no more.   Here is my list of possible activities that you can print off and store in your handbag. Call it an insurance policy. My pleasure...   Go bonkers with conkers. Paint, stick, jewelleryfy, but first of all go out and collect them!         Bake, bake, bake. A great way to get your children interested in food should you be struggling. Buy a simple children..

Now don’t get me wrong, I appreciate a thorough diagnosis when suffering from an ailment. However, when said ailment is broadcast to complete strangers, along with my name, address, phone number and CB radio handle...well I think I’d rather suffer in silence.   By the way, the following tale has nothing whatsoever to do with beautiful handmade to order children’s bedroom furniture, which we specialise in at Little Lucy Willow, but I thought I would tell you anyway...       The other day I was in the chemist thanks to a rather nasty bout of athlete's foot. I know you prob..

The evenings are getting longer and the air, crisp and cold. It’s that time of year when we relish climbing into our beds on those darkest of dark nights and getting wrapped up ready to sleep.   I love ‘nesting’ for the winter around now and to help me along - and you of course! - I have expanded our Little Lucy Willow childrens bedding range to include some simply gorgeous new products. If you’re anything like me you will struggle to pick out your favourite. I am still undecided.   Here are the girls contenders…   The Paisley Quilt with its beautiful striking teal and fuschi..
