Why is it an issue? A child’s bedroom usually has more clutter, clothes and knick-knacks than any other area of the home. So much so, it can often look like the local car boot sale has taken up residence. It’s so easy to close the door on such chaos and hope that the cleaning fairy will wave her magic wand in your absence. However, seeing as that isn’t likely to happen any time soon, perhaps it might be wise to look at how you can maximise space and storage in your child’s bedroom instead!     How much space do you have? The size and shape of your available space is key to d..

  Hearing nothing but the soft breathing of your child in the evening is perhaps one of the most rewarding times of the day when you are a parent. After all, the rigmarole that surrounds a bedroom routine can be an extremely stress-inducing task.

The end of the festivities is something we always dread in our house. The children can’t believe they have to wait another whole year until Christmas and the house looks like it’s taken minimalism a tad too far. “It’s so empty!” they all cry.   However, there is something a little delightful in this ‘emptiness’. I like to see it as my old friend ‘tidiness’. Pre Christmas, pre pine needles and pre Santa delivery. Ah yes, that…   So perhaps it isn’t as tidy as it could be, at least the children’s bedrooms aren’t anyway. But luckily, at Little Lucy Willow, we have storage solutions we..

December is almost here and you’re about to start shopping like you’ve never shopped before! The car parks are full, the weather is atrocious and there isn't a seat to be had in any coffee shop in town. Don’t you just love Christmas shopping? It has been said that lots more of us are buying gifts online nowadays but judging by the chaos on my local high street I beg to differ!   Despite my love of getting all ‘hygge’ before casually browsing for gifts online, there’s still something about the magical mayhem of being out amongst the throng of shoppers. It just has to be done!   Asi..

We love blaming our children for life’s little mishaps. When we’re late: “My neighbours must think I’m nuts, all I’ve done is shout ‘brush your teeth’ for the past hour!” When we lose the car keys: “I found them in the washing machine. Again.” When we need some new shoes (children do come in handy sometimes): “The little blighter drew a smiley face on my favourite ballet pumps!”     Researchers have now discovered that we have a tendency to add our own sleep problems to that never ending list of blame - somewhat unfairly I might add.   In a recent study, 100 childr..

    If your teen happens to be taking important exams this year, you’re no doubt bracing yourself for a difficult few weeks. You might not be able to do their revision for your them, but you can make suggestions to ensure that exam time runs smoothly.   Amongst the parenting mantra routinely trotted out, a good night’s sleep should be at the top of your list. And that goes for your little ones too. A recent study has revealed that if children get an extra 90 minutes of sleep during the week, their marks will improve. That’s just 18-19 minutes more rest from Sunday to Thursda..

    Sleep is something that many of us don’t have to work too hard at which is really convenient seeing as it’s critical to both our physical and mental health. How lovely it feels to crawl into bed after a long, exhausting day and drift off into the land of nod! Imagine if eating a daily dose of raw sprouts, or running five miles a day was as crucial to our well being? We wouldn’t be quite so healthy I’m sure!   We realise how essential sleep really is when becoming first time parents...say no more. Sleep deprivation is one of the most difficult things a family can face..

It’s almost the end of National Bed Month and I think we have established one thing at least…   A great bed means a great night’s sleep!       But what if your child’s new bed, as comfortable and as spacious as it might be, is still not providing that all important, uninterrupted slumber?   Well fear not because we might just have the solution to help you achieve your night time goals.   A good night’s sleep is something which needs plenty of preparation, never more so than in the coming days when the clocks will move forward one hour.
