Autumn Leaves
London is an amazing city to explore and have fun in with children. There are so many parks to visit, fantastic playgrounds, great soft play areas and wonderful museums.
But it really is the little things that can bring so much joy. The highlight of our outdoor adventures this week has been playing with and collecting the beautifully coloured autumn leaves that have fallen off the trees. Imogen finds a fountain to race them in!
Taking them to the starting point…
Dropping them in…
Down they come!

Giving them a push in the right direction.

My Shopping Experience at Zalando.co.uk
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Zalando and kindly asked if I would like to experience shopping at Zalando.co.uk. To be perfectly honest, I hadn’t heard of Zalando before and I quickly jumped online to have a look. The first thing that stood out to me was the incredible range of products available for the whole family. Everything from shoes to children’s clothing to women’s fashion to men’s sportswear and homeware.
It was a pleasure to browse the vast selection of Fashion and Accessories from brands around the world, with some amazing designers from Europe.
In the Children’s Wear section I discovered a beautiful linen dress from the Danish clothing brand Noa Noa that I chose for Imogen. It is slightly too large for her to wear now but it will fit perfectly next summer. I can just imagine this pretty dress being worn on a summer’s day or for a special occasion.
I love this colourful and fun hat rack by Present Time in Homeware. It is designed in Holland and would look great in a nursery or child’s bedroom. The brightly coloured balls are the perfect size for hanging children’s coats, hats and items of clothing on.
We placed it on Imogen’s bedroom wall and find it is wonderful for holding her coats, hats, scarves, bags and blankets. It conveniently keeps Imogen’s outdoor accessories handy and organised for when we’re rushing out of the door to get to the park!
Having previously bought items of clothing for Imogen from the Danish brand, Name It, I decided to select a couple of long sleeved tops and leggings from Zalando. These are comfortable for everyday play and wash really well.
From Zalando Home I selected a set of beautiful hand blown glass hurricane lamps from Germany. Both purple, one is almost transparent and the other is a darker shade. They look stunning when the sun shines through and with a lit candle they provide a glow of ambient light.
My shopping experience at Zalando.co.uk was fun, easy and it opened my eyes to an online store that conveniently sells everything you need for both your family and your home. I’ve bookmarked Zalando and will be shopping online again very soon.
Disclosure: Zalando offered me a voucher that I used to buy these items in exchange for this sponsored post. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
Orford Quay
Orford Quay in Suffolk is home to boats, birds, fish and the local fishermen who venture out each day to catch a variety of fresh seafood which is sold locally. We went for a morning walk and stopped by the water to see how far we could throw little stones in.
The tide was high and the water reached over the footpath that meandered around the shore so we played on the beach that we could access. Imogen throws pebbles in.
Imogen wanted to wear her water shoes so she could go for a swim. After some convincing and dipping her hands in the water even she conceded it was too cold!
