For many people a smartphone is practically a necessity. But it can quickly become a very expensive one. Costly contracts, insurance for multiple phones and the hidden costs of roaming and in-app purchases can all drive up the monthly bill. Fortunately there are plenty of ways to save money, even if you’re currently locked into a contract.

My kids are at that age now where they get a regular pocket money every month. They get £1 for every year of their age each month. So Boo gets £12 and Bugs gets £8 and having been doing for a good few years now, this has worked really well for us so far and they both love it when the first of each month comes around and they get their money.

I’m going to say it, and you’re probably not going to like me for it, but it’s only 98 sleeps until Christmas. Yes, yes, I know many of you are only just recovered from the long summer break, which at times has most likely left you pulling your hair out, but as we welcome a new season, it suddenly dawned on me how close Christmas Day actually is!
I don’t think I’m the only who will have noticed that nip in the air on the school run each morning, the kids certainly haven’t – every morning they moan that they are cold. It’s time to start bringing out the coats, hats, scarves, gloves and tights. I always leave coat shopping until we actually need them, where as some parents are super organised and have them ready to go back to school in, I’m usually digging out the old coats to see if we can squeeze a few more days wear out of them and then of course when they don’t even button up because the kids have grown so much it’s really time to start thinking about new ones.
Today I am bringing you our top 3 winter coats for boys and girls from Melijoe, I’ve had a little help from the kids here too 🙂 There is just so much choice over at Melijoe so it was really hard to just narrow it down to our three favourites…

Boys
If there is nothing you fancy here head over to Melijoe and take a look for yourself, you will be sure to find something that you absolutely love 🙂
Who doesn’t love a good wedding? We have been invited to a wedding this summer and I have been looking all over for gorgeous outfits for Boo. If there is one thing I love it is shopping for pretty clothes for my little girl and Melijoe have the most beautiful selection. Here you will find our favourite dresses for a very special occasion.
This dotted tulle dress from Richmond Jr is Boo’s first choice and I have to agree with her that it is absolutely beautiful, I know she would look just stunning in it. It’s currently reduced from £368 to £221 – unfortunately that’s a little above what I would want to pay for a dress, if it was my own wedding or a special family member then maybe I would stretch to that but there is no denying that it is a very pretty dress.
This Roberto Cavalli Kids printed silk dress is more in my price range at £96. I love the print and think it would be perfect for a summer wedding, in fact I’d really like to wear this one myself.
This Milano jersey and flower-printed cotton dress by Monnalisa is so pretty, I love the flower detail round the neckline and how it flares out at the bottom. It is currently reduced to £150 from £213 too!
I just love the colour of this LESY Crepe and embroidery dress, Boo would always choose a pink dress but I would love to see her in this 🙂
The pleats on this SUZANNE ERMANN Flared pleated muslin dress are lovely, this is another one that wouldn’t be Boo’s first choice but I think it would love gorgeous on her 🙂
If you are looking for a special dress for your little girl this summer then head over to Melijoe, they have an amazing selection of dresses, bags, shoes, hair accessories and much much more.
The summer holidays are drawing near so I thought I’d put together some top tips for travelling with children. Travelling with children can be super stressful but if you prepare yourself it can be a whole lot of fun 🙂 Read more
