Christmas Traditions with Mothercare

Boy looking at Christmas Tree in Mothercare pyjamas - Christmas traditions

I always feel like a child at this time of year. The first flashes of fairy lights are appearing on our street. The shops are in full festive playlist mode.

Littlest wearing cat print top from Me&I

I love bright and colourful children’s clothes. There was a time when I swore I wouldn’t gender-stereotype at all. I was sure that Littlest would wear all her brother’s hand-me-downs and shun pink and frills.
