Posts about our family life, you’ll get to know more about us by reading our ‘Scrapbook Loves’, Everyday Us, Sunday Scrapbook and other posts. Family posts cover all the topics that don’t really fit anywhere else!
I love Indian food, I think it stems from the days when I used to stay over at my first boyfriends flat which happened to be just above an okay-ish curry restaurant, but ordering from there was better than cheese and ham toasties every night! Then I moved into a pub that was just across… Read More
I decided when I found out I was pregnant that I probably needed to think about ending the current breastfeeding journey in preparation for the one that will start next year when baby 2 arrives. Every feed ended with a sharp bite which I was getting pretty tired of (also a little painful) and she… Read More
I like the idea of being organised and I start each year with a clean and shiny new way of keeping on top of things. This year I admit that I’ve been pretty good at it, partly through necessity as I’ve finished maternity so have to juggle 2 work rotas (mine and Sam’s) and Athena’s… Read More
What have I done this week? Why is it always so hard to remember the activities from less than seven days ago by the time Sunday rolls around… Monday – I got wet. Sam had done a night shift after our evening out (read about it here) so Athena and I vacated the house… Read More
On Sunday Sam and I had a delicious meal out at the Earl of March in Lavant, just north of Chichester. A gorgeous location overlooking the rolling hills of the Downs, this homely restaurant was the perfect place to spend a leisurely baby free evening! The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, and had… Read More
The Jungle Crew is by Madeleine Rogers (who is Brighton based, hurrah!) and takes you on a fun adventure through the Jungle, with bold and bright imagery and plenty to see. This is a book that will last for years to come, at the moment Athena is happy to look at the pictures and the… Read More
I’ve been testing out a shiny new phone for a couple of weeks now, the Nokia Lumia 930. Easy to set up (I synced all 3 of my email accounts and contacts etc within 5 minutes) and even easier to use, my first impressions were good! It uses the Windows 8.1 smartphone interface, and… Read More
Well, this week has been a fairly quiet one. I can’t actually even remember what happened on Monday if I’m honest. I suspect the highlight was a trip to Tesco though. Tuesday to Thursday I was working, so nothing much to report there either, apart from the fact that I fell asleep on the… Read More
I found out I was pregnant again a lot earlier than I did last time (around 4 weeks this time) and for that reason I feel like I’ve been pregnant for half a year already! I’m going to try not to harp on about being up the duff all the time, but I might do… Read More
So the first trimester is over, finally! I wanted to write a bit about what I deemed as my ‘essentials’ for the first trimester of pregnancy as a bit of inspiration to anyone else, if it’s needed. Migrastick – I used to suffer from really bad migraines, they got a lot better during my first… Read More
