Peekaboo! The only app you need to download for you baby
All I can is thank goodness for Peekaboo! Tried and tested for over a year, Baby touch: Peekaboo, by Ladybird, has blown all the other baby apps I’ve downloaded out of the water (and I’ve tried out hundreds of them!). By far and away my son’s favourite app. From the age of 2 months he ...
Kleenex – wipe away your day
Um… Is it just me or is there something quite wrong about this? The first time I read it I didn’t quite have time to glimpse the second part so all I read was “tell us what you’re wiping”…
What’s next for Next? 11 reasons why Next.co.uk should be redesigned
OK, so I’ve been meaning to write this post for quite a while now… I am not normally a next.co.uk shopper. We received a gift card as a present when Fraser was born. Fraser is now 14 months. I am still baffled by my experience, even months after my initial shop with the retailer. The ...

16 of my favourite parallax scrolling websites and resources on how to achieve it
No doubt, we will be seeing more and more of this effect on the Internet in the future. Funny thing is it’s hardly anything new, we’ve been using it horizontally in flash websites and banners for a long time. I think now that clients, brands and people in general are finally seeing life beyond the ...
New shoes
Took Fraser shoe shopping for the first time. Here he is generally causing a ruckus with the shoe displays in store. And check him out with his new kicks. I somehow managed to buy him ones that totally matched the jumper he was wearing. Didn’t think about it until I put them on him. It ...
My little baby side project (business idea no.3) – name and logo ideas
So typical new Mom thing… I plan to join the ranks of all the hundreds of thousands of other “Mumpreneurs” out there. One day anyway. For now this is a little side project I’m trying to get off the ground. The business is an online one and it also involves babies. I plan to do ...
Advertising Agency Pitch Mania and Motherhood
Things have been rather hectic for me the past couple of weeks. Late nights, working at weekends and my scheduled days off, teething, tonsillitis, the whole nine yards. I wish I could say it’s been a rush and that it’s great to be part of a collective team spirit – lovely to be back into ...
Westfield work from my archive and Women’s Designer Galleries at Selfridges
The recent launch of Selfrdiges Designer galleries made me think of some concepts I worked up for the Westfield pitch. And because part of the reason I set up this blog in the first place was to share unpolished/”creative process” work, I thought it might be a good one to dig out. The fitting room ...

Unexpected street art: painted discarded chewing gum
Walking across the millenium bridge the other day I saw a guy stooped over painting. I thought he would be painting a Thames river scene, turns out it was discarded pieces of chewing gum. I can’t stand the amount of gum I see on the streets. I mean what are people thinking when they hork ...
Paolo Roversi at the Wapping Project bankside, and erm… nose picking
Took Fraser to see the Paola Roversi exhibition at the Wapping Project Bankside. As expected there were some gorgeous prints and beautiful shots, I just wish there was more of it! Fraser didn’t seem to mind. He found amusement inside of his nose, and enjoyed tasting it after!
