Disclosure: We were kindly sent a Yoto Player and some of their audio books in exchange for an honest review. As always, all photographs and opinions are my own. I’m a book lover. Ever since I was a small child once i’ve started a book i’ve not been able to put it down. Its a well known fact in our house if I get a book on the go it’ll be hard to prise me away from it. I’ve tried to instill that love of books and reading in the children too. In world where screen time is now at… The post AD | Yoto Player Review appeared first on Gemma in the Cotswolds ..read more

Please note this post may contain affiliate links. This means that using them to shop doesn’t cost you anymore but I may receive a small amount of commission from any purchase.  One of the most common questions I get asked over on Instagram is about the kids sharing bedrooms. “Is it ok for them to share?” or “do they not mind not having their own rooms?” In our case, they absolutely love sharing. The boys are particularly close and have shared a room ever since Mason was old enough to leave the bedside crib in our room (about 9 months… The post Sharing a bedroom tips and tricks (particul ..read more

Disclosure: I was gifted two pairs of WUKA Period Pants in exchange for an honest review) (A little disclaimer before we start, if you’ve found this post, chances are you are looking for information on period pants, but just incase, a warning that this post may be a bit TMI – although if you follow me, you’ll know I’m a total over sharer and comfortable with it.) I’ll be honest, I dread my ‘time of the month’ – I feel it creeping up  – is it just me or does it come round quicker every 28 days? – and its… The post AD | WUKA Period Pants – Review appeared first on Gemma in the Cotswolds ..read more

DISCLOSURE: This post contains items that were very kindly gifted to me (they are marked {gifted}) 2020 was a funny old year – I mean thats the understatement of my life but I’m not going into that right now – and I found myself doing a lot of things I’d never done before – can anyone say home learning – actually please don’t, I’ve heard that phrase enough to last me until the kids leave school! I realised that being in lockdown, having a lot of gorgeous weather and maybe turning another year older, that a lot of things I… The post What I’ve learnt about my style in the last year… appeared fi ..read more

I’ve not written a from the heart post on here for a very long time. So I figured a little honest chat (or mind dump) over there wouldn’t be too he worst idea.  I can genuinely say, although for us, 2020 wasn’t the worst – we were very lucky – I can’t remember the last time I felt truly. That probably sounds ridiculous as I have four healthy (ish – Izzie’s spine aside) happy children, a wonderful husband and a lovely home. I feel selfish even writing it as I know I am very lucky – and I feel very… The post New Year…Happier Me? appeared first on Gemma in the Cotswolds ..read more

REVIEW: Imagin Fires Bredon Biofuel Fireplace

Disclosure: I was kindly sent the Bredon Fire, Ceramic Logs, Small Flue and a pack of biofuel in exchange for an honest review – all opinions, video content and photographs are my own. Growing up in the Cotswolds, in a small village, with gorgeous little cottages with cosy open fires, I had the idea that when I grew up I’d have one, one day. Fast forward a good few years, and I haven’t got one yet – practicality took over. A new build was perfect for starting and growing our family – very little maintenance, and a blank canvas to… The post REVIEW: Imagin Fires Bredon Biofuel Fireplace appeare ..read more

Disclosure: We were kindly sent the Lollipop Smart Baby Monitor in exchange for an honest review. All photographs and opinions are, as always, my own. We’ve used a video monitor since Ollie was a baby over 7 years ago, and we have had many in our time. When I was pregnant with Ottilie, we bought a new monitor, but by the time she was a year old, the rechargeable battery in the monitor wasn’t holding it’s charge anymore, which is the most annoying thing. When Lollipop kindly gifted us their Lollipop Smart Baby Monitor (RRP £145) , I was so… The post Lollipop Smart Baby Monitor |Review appeared ..read more

We’ve had one of those typical winter weeks, where its got colder, and the germs have started to creep in. If you’ve been around here for sometime, you will know that we don’t always have the best luck health wise over Christmas. I think its a combination of Ollie’s birthday being just before, and always picking something up from being around loads of people ay his party (this year we are holding it early so fingers crossed), and all the excitement and stress leading up to this big day. There years in a row we all came down with a… The post Family Medicine Cabinet Essentials – Be Prepared thi ..read more
