The transition from child to teen can be a tricky one. There will probably be sulks, silence and a sudden penchant for loud music. Some take it in their stride while others may find it a particularly anxious time. Bodies, minds and expectations are changing which can be more than a little daunting. Alongside this emotional rollercoaster comes a change in tastes and a need to feel ‘grown up’. It’s time to pack up those teddies and start thinking art, mirrors and dressing tables perhaps. Considering all this upheaval, ensuring your teen has their own space to relax and unwind after a hard ..

The summer holidays are drawing to a close and it’s almost time to ‘get back into the old routine’... It’s with mixed feelings that I approach this time of year. I’m sad that our family holiday is over and sad for the children that they will soon be under the pressures of school life once more. But I will not be sad to have my house ship shape and organised just the way I like it! And in truth, I won’t be sad to slip ‘back into the old routine’ either, despite it being a phrase often uttered with rolling eyes and a defeated shrug of the shoulders. In fact, ‘the old routine’ is h..

  I don’t know about you, but when school is out, so are the term time sleeping habits of my children! Instead of nice early nights and bright early mornings, we are currently faced with late nights and errm let’s just say interesting early mornings. If only they would lie in for an hour or two! With tired minds come mood swings - which thankfully have been conspicuous by their absence in our house - but I know they’re on their way! So what to do now? Carry on with gay abandon or rein it in and restore some routine? For those attending holiday clubs and nurseries, sleeping pat..

There are lots of reasons why you might want to change your child’s bedroom furniture. For many, it usually boils down to one simple fact. Growing up.   Little ones change so fast that before you know it, your tiny teeny toddler is suddenly a cheeky teen! Somewhere between these two extremes your child will change their hobbies, their fashion sense and their favourite colours, more times than you’ve changed your socks!   It seems like only yesterday when you assembled that cute toddler bed and matching wardrobe -  but now they are both defunct. So what to do next?   At Litt..

To give your child's bedroom a beautiful boost why not inject some fresh colour and fabric?

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..

Easter is a time for new beginnings, not least because spring has sprung and our long winter hibernation is almost over!   As lovely as it is to see the sun streaming through the windows once more, it can also be ‘enlightening’ as to how much titivating may be required in the home... All those little scuff marks and handprints on the children’s bedroom walls may go unnoticed in the dull days of winter. Just pop the lamps and fairy lights on and hey presto, they magically disappear. Summer on the other hand, takes no prisoners!   So with this is mind, now could be the time to start ..

The possibilities are endless when it comes to children’s bedrooms. Decisions, decisions, decisions...So where do you start with such a task?     Archie Fairweather Collection   Choose a solid, dependable children’s bed The bed is a sensible place to start but be sure to do your research. Imported children’s furniture might be cheaper than handmade alternatives but it’s likely to be of inferior quality too. Consider how long you want your child’s bed to last. There’s no point buying cheap products if they’re going to fall apart in no time.   Once you’ve decided ..

March has arrived, along with pancakes, lent and the first day of spring - allegedly. It’s also that time of year when we shake out the rugs, tidy the garden and breathe some life into our homes. But where to start? Children’s bedrooms first please! This is the place that usually commands most of our attention…If it’s not a lick of paint on the scribbled walls it might be a new blind, or lampshade to accommodate your child’s ever-changing tastes. Here are some more tips for a bright and beautiful bedroom:     Luxury children’s bedding - One thing that does always lift a r..

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..

Children's bedrooms can often be messy and chaotic. If you're anything like me, you’re constantly picking up toys, clothes and the odd bit of lego that you only discovered because the sole of your foot is now throbbing for England...ouch.   So what is the answer to keeping those bedrooms looking ship shape? Aside from great storage and some brutal decluttering, you could try investing in some hand-painted children's furniture.     Looby Lou Combination Wardrobe   Ok so how will that make a difference exactly? It's simple. When you have a matching collection of beautifu..
