How many times have you made this face when you really hoped to be making this face when you’ve opened up a gift of bath or beauty products from someone at Christmas? You know, those weird rice paper rose petals that are meant to do something to the bath but actually just stick in your lady-bits…… Read More
Christmas and I have a strange relationship, I think it’s because it was never a really big deal when I was growing up as it was just my mum and me (hello lonely only sibling!) and then as soon as I was old enough to work I worked at a pub so worked over Christmas,… Read More
I had an email a couple of weeks back from Minna, the lovely lady behind Pikku. Pikku means ‘little one’ in Finish, which is where Minna comes from originally. Now though she has not only opened up an online store selling some amazing brands and styles of clothes for little ones, but she has also… Read More
This past week we’ve spent very little time together as a family, Sam is working ridiculously long hours opening up a new hotel so is rarely home. Poor Athena has stopped asking for Daddy in the mornings, although Arlo and I get the bed to ourselves a lot which makes a change! He had the weekend… Read More

Next year will be our first full year as a family of four, and will hopefully be the year we move into our first home that we own rather than rent. For that reason we really do need to think carefully about our travel plans so that they don’t get too out of hand and… Read More
Both Athena and Arlo got a new Christmas book last week from Parragon, for Arlo it was ‘Jingle Jingle Little Reindeer’, a cute little board book with a finger puppet reindeer for the reader to use to help the story come alive! It’s a nice catchy rhyme and the story is about helping the reindeer… Read More
When we eventually get the keys to our new place I will do a happy dance (or three! I’ll be that relieved!) but also will have that ‘what have we let ourselves in for’ feeling because the place needs a lot of work! In the meantime we’ve decided to make it as nice as possible… Read More
