Last week we spent five lovely days at Bluestone in Wales. If you’re not familiar with them then think mountains, peacefulness, family friendly and lovely lodges and you’ll be half way there! I’ll freely admit that I was a little sceptical about what to expect from our ‘free range’ holiday at Bluestone. I’d read a… Read More
In just under two weeks time I will be heading off to Bluestone Resort in Wales, with Sam and the babies (I will stop referring to Athena as a baby when she hits 2… maybe!) and our lovely good friends and their daughter too. I cannot WAIT! A few people have likened maternity leae to… Read More
Last Sunday I spent the day in London with a handful of bloggers, is there a proper word for a gathering of bloggers? Anyway, I met Katie (hook,line and sink her) at Victoria and we then met Ria (wishing-for-chanel) Erin (e-elise etc & Michelle (daisybutter) at Hyde park and strolled on into Winter Wonderland.… Read More
This week we’ve been flat/cat sitting for a friend in Hove, and as luck would have it I got the chance to discover a lovely little businesses here. The Beauty Shed is tucked away at the end of Conway Street about a 5 minute walk from Hove Station. Above the very clean and urban looking… Read More
In the first week of September we took a trip to Parham House in Sussex as Sam’s dad had come down to visit us and see Athena again, it was such a glorious day that we wanted to go somewhere and enjoy the sun! Parham House is run independently so it cost us less to… Read More

It was the most amazing holiday, and one day I want… Read More
This is what happens when I ask Sam to take pictures… bump shots. Top H&M (not maternity, just bigger sized) and Skirt H&M Maternity. Shoes Peacocks. Also check out the trout pout on the right picture, it’s the only reason I left it in! This is what I wore when we ventured to the… Read More
Back in February I took my husband to Banham Zoo, (in Norfolk) in the cold and sleety weather as a birthday treat! It’s a bit of a tradition for us, last year we went to Frankfurt Zoo in the cold and sleety weather on my birthday. We’ll take the sprog to the Zoo for its… Read More
So back in the August Sam and I spent the day at Muncaster Castle in the Lake District. Its about a 20 minute drive from where my dad lives and I wish I had visited sooner, perfect gardens, birds of prey, a gorgeous (still lived in castle) and so much more… there was a magician… Read More
