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!
If you follow me on Instagram or twitter you will probably have seen me majorly making up for my social media absence of late on Friday night and Saturday morning! If not then you missed this delight: I was super lucky to have been invited to an amazing night and day thanks to OnThe Beach.… Read More
I started blogging publicly on Blogger in 2011. My online presence started way before that though with a Diaryland diary, then moving to Live Journal in 2000. Sadly that is no longer available as I didn’t log in for over two years, I would’ve shared a few teenage-angsty posts otherwise! I began reading blogs and… Read More
You know when you’re casually strolling along and then a glorious sunset stops you dead in your tracks and you have to scrabble to get your phone out and take a photo? This is what happened to me a couple of weeks ago, and when I was doing the end of month dump of photos… Read More
I have a slight addiction to lip balm. I have at least 4 on the go at any one time; by the bed, in the living room, in my handbag and in the car as minimum generally! I always seem to have dry lips, even in the summer so need to apply liberally at… Read More
I’ve been a little careless in the sun so far this year, nothing too horrific (I’ve had some pretty bad sunburn in the past) But enough that my parting stayed red for a few days and my back started to peel a bit! Stupidly I spent a fair amount of time (and money!) on… Read More
Well, all of a sudden Athena is 13 months old! I’ve not done a baby update since she was 10 months old, I meant to do one at a year but by the time I sat down to write it was too late! Sleeping: through the night from around 8 till 8 or later. I… Read More
You need: a wooden magazine rack, paint & paintbrushes and some old newspaper and some kitchen roll to rest your paint brush on whilst you sip your tea. Total cost: £5.20 for two! The racks were a pound each at a boot sale, brushes were a pound for a pack of 5 at Poundland… Read More
On Wednesday last week I was invited to the Habitat A/W 2014 press day at the Oxo Tower Wharf on London’s south bank. There was such an amazing array of styles and items, definitely something for everyone. I took lots of photos, but have whittled them down to my favourite few for this post! … Read More
My last ‘thoughts’ post about parenting style was about a bad parent I witnessed (in my opinion, you may not agree) and I think the person in today’s post is almost as bad but for different reasons. I’m started writing this on a train home from London. I’m sat on a fold-down seat with Athena… Read More
I never really thought about when we would stop breastfeeding. We got to six months, all was fine and dandy so we carried on (hey, saves money on formula!) and then we got to twelve months and we’re still going… with no plans to stop just yet. We still feed in public when needed although… Read More
