Stylish stickies
Because of my job, I am one of those annoying mummies who has a small obsession with trying to keep a stylish home in spite of the invading toys, food splatters and general child-related detritus that tends to accumulate when there’s a little person on the loose. So when I find a product that is not only child-friendly but also über cool, I get rather excited! At work the other day I came across these fab wall stickers from the friendly folks at Spin Collective and have spent an inordinate amount of time since trying to decide which ones would look best in Bubs’ room. I think I’ve narrowed it down to two – I want the Robot chalkboard sticker (free chalk included!) for the kitchen, and the Construction Vehicles for his bedroom, which is slowly transitioning from a unisex, restful nursery into a real boy’s room thanks to a splash of colour in the form of this amazingly bargainous red side table from IKEA and this gorgeous bedding from Bedeck – although until he is old enough for a big bed we are only using the cushion and throw as accessories. I am acutely aware that it’s only a matter of time before he starts demanding (albeit coerced by the Hubber) hideous polyester-blend bedding emblazoned with the Liverpool FC crest so for now, I intend to make the most of being in control…

About Claire
Hello! I’m Claire and welcome to MumUnplugged! I started this blog in 2008 following the birth of my son; I was bored on maternity leave from my job as a magazine editor, and besides feeling a pathological urge to just write something, I wanted to put my own experiences as a first time mum out there for others to share. I’m just a normal mum like any other – I have good days and bad days, days when I feel confident in my ability to raise this little human I created and others when I wonder why on earth I ever thought I could handle it! The most important thing I’ve learned from becoming a mum is that there’s nothing like advice from other mums who’ve been in your shoes – and I hope that by reading my experiences and those of others, visitors to MumUnplugged will find inspiration, advice and support for their journey through motherhood. Through my career in publishing I’ve also developed a passion for trend-spotting and tracking down the latest products so you’ll also find lots of news, reviews, fashion, topical features and much more. I really hope you enjoy the site – don’t forget to check out our forums (coming soon!) and keep your eyes peeled for great competitions and giveaways. If there’s anything you’d like to see on MumUnplugged then I’d love to hear from you – email mumunplugged@googlemail.com, follow me on Twitter, check out the Facebook page - or just leave me a comment!
