Toot Toot! I’m going to blow my own horn for a bit… allow me to indulge myself in a few moments of back patting if you will. I don’t often do it so I hope you don’t mind! I work hard on Belle du Brighton, but I primarily write it for my family as a… Read More
Because we were away last week on holiday and not posting much I’ve not yet shared that we’ve been chosen to be Ambi Toys Ambassadors! I say we, but really it’s Arlo and Athena who will be putting toys through their paces! You can meet the rest of the Ambi Toys ambassadors here. Ambi is… Read More
A shorter than normal post from me today (hurrah! I hear you shout…) Last Sunday we piled in the car and headed off to Wales! Luckily for us around the half way point in Chippenham is where our friend Elisabeth lives so we stopped off to have lunch and a break with her! After a… Read More

If you’ve read my blog over the last month or so you’ll know that Sam my husband took up a new hobby at the same time as Arlo arrived. I think he thought two weeks off work for paternity leave gave him ample free time to get used to his new hobby! He is now… Read More

Monday was quiet, a little trip out to the sandy seafront park to meet up with a friend and her little boy who we’d not since for a good few months! We had a nice cakey catch up when it got a but chilly then I headed home for a (thankfully) uneventful solo bedtime as… Read More
Last weekend we bathed the babies together for the first time. Arlo was three weeks old and hadn’t had a ‘proper’ bath in the tub and seeing as Athena was about to have a bath and he was happy and full of milk we decided to give it a go! So perhaps this was more… Read More
