Birthday Weekend in Paris with Hotter Shoes

You are only 40 once and 40 is the new 30! I have never been fussed about going big to celebrate my birthday nor have I had a birthday bucket list before 40. But when I heard that Hotter shoes was offering a couple of bloggers the opportunity to test out their Chase shoes, I jumped right into it! I have always known that Hotter make really comfy, durable shoes. The reason I know is because I have been wearing the Dew shoes almost every day for two years and its still wearable although the soles are worn.

Petit-Fernand Products Review

How do you label your children’s school clothing? It is almost at the end of the school term and some of you might already be looking at getting stick-on labels or personalised stationery for your children. Most schools will emphasise how important it is for you to label your children’s clothing and their belongings so that the items can be identified! It is always shocking to see the mountain of lost and found items at the end of the school year without any labels.

This year, we were so fortunate to get in touch with Petit Fernand to offer us a range of personalised labels and products for review.

Moreover, the best part is that all their products are 100% customisable so that they can match your children’s personalities. All their items are made from France and despatch within 48 hours!
