One of the best parts of going back to school is getting new stationery supplies. It’s the perfect excuse to buy cute back to school stationery plus other bits like bags, lunch boxes and more.
I’ve picked out some super cute back to school supplies that are both practical and stylish. Many of these supplies come in different colours to the one pictured, so don’t be put off by the colour. Once you click through you’ll see the different versions.
A world for me and you: where everyone is welcome
This recently launched picture book is uplifting and joyful. It encourages the reader to imagine a world where everyone looks the same, all the food tastes the same, where we all speak the same language… wouldn’t that be so boring?
The book goes on to celebrate diversity and inclusivity in an engaging and fun way that kids will absolutely relate to. It encourages children to be curious about the diverse world we live in and to enjoy our differences.
Written by Uju Asika and illustrated by Jennie Poh, this book is beautifully written and illustrated, bursting with colour and joy! If you have any kiddies in your life, this book is unmissable.

Have you discovered my steal the look series yet? In this series I share really cool, unusual and clever decor ideas that are easy to steal and re-create in your own home. The last one I shared was a useful and really clever Ikea hack. Today it’s about thinking outside the box with your lighting.
How cool are these pendant lights? A cluster of different light shades hanging from the ceiling with different coloured cords. How original is that? Cluster pendent lights are a big trend at the moment but usually you see 3 or 4 of exactly the same light. Not only does this idea use different (yet complementary) shades but they take it a step further with the colourful cords. Such a playful and fun idea for a kids room. Even if you played with just two colours, it would be very eye-catching.

Whenever you think of re-decorating your rooms or just giving them a refresh, how often do you think of doing something with the floors? I know I tend to look at the walls or the furniture or even the decor because the floors somehow feel more fixed. But actually thats not true. You can change your floors really easily and sometimes that can be just the new look the room needs.
I’m loving the vinyl floor look which is no longer just for bathrooms. Vinyl flooring has come such a long way with so many more finishes, colours and patterns available. While I probably wouldn’t go for vinyl in every room in my home, I think they’re a great and fun option for kids rooms. Apart from being durable, they’re so easy to clean (goodbye paint stains!) and they allow you to have fun. Think stripes or checks or a sea of your favourite colour. I’ve been looking at some creative ways of using vinyl in a kids room and here are 3 fun ways:
Did you catch my new series ‘steal the look’ last time? It’s all about sharing clever, stylish and useful decor ideas that are easy to replicate. Last week’s was a really cute idea that will delight any kid! For my second idea to steal, it’s this organised peg board which contains one of the best Ikea hacks. Have you spotted the Ikea hack yet?

White, soft pastels and light greys are some of the most popular colours for kids rooms and nurseries. It’s not hard to see why – I mean who doesn’t love those colours and they’re easy to decorate with. But if you’re after something a bit more unique, more striking or more daring, there is no better colour than blue – lots of it in deep, dark and bold shades (we’re not talking hints of blue or baby blue here!). I’ve noticed a growing trend in blue kids rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and even kitchens and I’m so drawn to it. There is something so cool and calming about this colour even in it’s darkest shade and so it’s ideal for any age, any gender and any space.
Gallery walls are all the rage and they look great. I’m considering one for my living room but I think they look fab in any room especially a kids room where you can have so much fun creating one. It’s a great way to update a room that needs a bit of life or to just change the look for a new season. The most obvious way to create a gallery wall is to have loads of shop bought framed prints but there are other creative ways and the best part is that gallery walls don’t cost much to create. Things like kids artworks make a great a gallery wall or you don’t even have to use art. Some of the cutest gallery walls I’ve seen use objects and decorations and even clothes. Here are some fun and unusual ideas on how to create a gallery wall in a kids bedroom:
I love this monochrome nursery wall. Lots of fun, quirky, interesting postcards, shapes and more simply taped to the wall with washi tape. There’s no order here, they’ve just stuck lots on but I love that and because they’ve kept the tones the same it makes it even more striking. Best of all, there’s lots for the baby to look at.
Hands up, who has daughters?
Why is it that when we meet a little girl we often comment on her hair, her dress or how she looks? But when we meet a little boy, we almost never talk about appearance. Instead, we will maybe ask them what sports they play, what their hobbies are or something along those lines. For way too long, a woman’s appearance has mattered way too much and it’s ingrained in us. I mean, how often do we still look in the mirror and criticise what we see?
Who doesn’t love a good Chinese crispy duck? We’ve been making our own homemade version for ages and I thought it was about time to share the recipe here. This homemade version of crispy duck is far healthier than the restaurant version as it isn’t deep fried. But it’s just as delicious. And unbelievably easy to make.
