Here are the reviews we’ve done. I’m always honest with what we thought about the products or experiences and am always happy to answer questions too, feel free to give me a shout on social media!

Festive gift guide: Toddler edition

7th December 201410th February 2020

To be completely honest i’m sure Athena would be perfectly happy with a large box with lots of little boxes inside all wrapped up for her to open and play around with, and we definitely won’t be going overboard for with her presents this year because she still has a lot of toys she doesn’t… Read More

Festive gift guide: the Brighton edition

4th December 201410th February 2020

I love Brighton, and know I have a lot of Brighton based readers so I thought that putting together a Brighton specific gift guide might be a good idea! I’ve taken a look through a lot of my favourite online stores and put together a selection of things I’d love to get or to give… Read More

Tech: Nokia Lumia 930 mobile phone

8th October 201410th February 2020

  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

Review: Bravado sweetpea nursing bra

15th August 201410th February 2020

I’ve been cycling the same four nursing bras in the fourteen months I’ve been breastfeeding, but for the last few weeks I’ve been wearing a new nursing bra from Bravado. Bravado isn’t a brand I’d tried before but would definitely look at their range in the future after trying this one. The Sweet Pea nursing… Read More

Cosatto Giggle travel system review

21st July 201410th February 2020

    On Easter Monday after suffering from three days of excruciating tooth ache I was gobsmacked for another reason, I found out I had won a Cosatto Giggle on Frithas blog Tigerlily Quinn ! I was over the moon, as you can imagine! We’ve now been using our Giggle for three months so I… Read More

Recent Reads: May & June

4th July 201410th February 2020

Book reviews of some of the books I read in May & June! Click for other book related posts. The Forgotten Daughter – Renita D’Silva A book as part of the Bahlsen Book Club. At first glance I thought it might be a ‘real life sob story’ (which tend to be badly written and not much fun… Read More

#LightsCameraCurrys in Brighton

22nd June 201410th February 2020

Two weeks ago (though it seems like a lot longer!) I spent a gloriously sunny day in a basement, learning all about how to use my DSLR off ‘auto’ mode. We spent the morning being told the tips and tricks of the trade by local pro photographer Dade Freeman, who really does know his stuff!… Read More

We love: Fisher Price musical instruments

9th May 201410th February 2020

My baby loves music almost as much as she loves grapes (which is about as much as I love chocolate digestives, lots!) So when a parcel of musical goodies arrived in the post from Fisher Price’s musical toy range she was pretty pleased, she’d have something to make noise with whilst bouncing around to whatever… Read More

We love: Wooden Toys

21st March 201410th February 2020

  I have been doing a lot of ebay and charity shop scouring recently with the sole aim to build up a library of wooden toys, and (if I do say so myself) I think I have done quite well! I will admit that part of the reason for loving wooden toys is purely aesthetical… Read More

The Buggy Chronicles: Obaby Zezu Multi review

15th March 201410th February 2020

We’ve been using this travel system for around 7 months now, and now we’ve used it in all positions I thought I’d do a proper review. We originally had a 2nd hand Mamas and Papas Pliko pramette but I didn’t like the handles (not a bar, 2 separate handles so steering with one hand was… Read More

🍰 Sam treated me to a big box cakes for my birt 🍰 Sam treated me to a big box cakes for my birthday, dropped off by a courier 🥳 If you can't get out for an afternoon tea then this is the next best thing!
It's been a very quiet birthday but after the year we've had it wouldn't have been anything else would it? I just keep thinking back to birthdays past, NYC last year, Germany, South Africa, the Alps, Canary Islands and Czech Republic... hopefully I'll be able to escape for my birthday again in the future! ✈⛵🚄 I miss travelling.

One from our walk on Friday, this church is in a v One from our walk on Friday, this church is in a very quiet little hamlet called South Stoke on the river Arun. 
We would've done another walk today (Sam had a day off today too) but our boiler is kaput and we didn't want to come home to a cold house so we stayed in and shivered on the sofa instead!
Also before you come at me for getting in the car to drive to exercise: we live in a flat with no garden on a busy road- we could walk to the beach but I can guarantee we would have seen LOTS of people on pavements on the way and then hundreds (literally -  the prom is so busy!) at the beach. Kids play parks are too busy too. We walked past TWO people and one cyclist in 3 miles on our walk)

Much as I love 'jumper season' I'm over this frost Much as I love 'jumper season' I'm over this frost. Our boiler sounds like it's struggling as it whines more than Arlo does when he hasn't eaten in an hour. Much like the rest of you I imagine, I'm feeling a bit numb and fed up right now. I also can't shake this cold/cough (been tested, not covid) and it's been lingering for 3+ weeks now. I fall asleep at the drop of a hat too, like a little old lady and find it hard to get up in the mornings. I just want spring time, normality energy and clear nasal passages IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

I've been outside more today than I have for the f I've been outside more today than I have for the for past week. We've basically been hibernating since Christmas eve apart from the odd trip to the shop up the road. Today I walked round Devils Dyke with a friend early in the morning and then went to the beach in the afternoon for the kids to let off some steam. The sun setting was gorgeous and it made me realise I'd missed the sea as I'd not been in ages! Anyway, one more day at home tomorrow (inset day for us!) And hopefully back to school Tuesday but we'll see. For us its the right decision as my children thrive on routine, and I thrive on being able to work without distraction or having to try and teach them! 

Happy New Year!
