So, this is Christmas 2020

24th December 2020

I’m sat in my living room three days into the Christmas holidays and I don’t think I could feel less festive if I tried. I know i’m not the only one, and in the grand scheme of things most people are far worse off than I am, as we are currently tier 2 rather than… Read More

What The Kids Read: December 2020

16th December 202017th December 2020

Here’s a little round up of the books Athena and Arlo have been enjoying recently, although I have definitely been enjoying them too! This is a GREAT book for broaching awkward questions that your kids ask, often out of the blue. You can say, ‘hang on lets look in the Brilliant Questions book’! This gives… Read More

How to: Easy Christmas Decorations from Toilet Roll Tubes

4th December 202018th December 2020

I am always looking for after school and weekend activities to keep the kids busy and off their screens for a while longer. Crafting is something both my children are super happy to get stuck into, mostly because it generally means making a bit of a mess! I’ve put together some ideas for really simple Christmas… Read More

4 questions to ask if you’re thinking about an extension

30th November 202030th November 2020

Ad – This is a partnered post. We’re hopefully moving into our new house in the next few months, and although it is perfectly fine to move into and make it it our own from off it doesn’t stop me daydreaming about the future and what we can do to improve it. One of those… Read More

Why I want to keep Jewellery in the family

30th November 2020
Songmics-Jewellery-case

Ad- Written in partnership with Carus.  When I was young one of my favourite activities was going through my Mum’s and Nanna’s jewellery boxes. There was something so exciting about seeing what treasures they had inside and hearing the story behind each piece. I loved hearing about then when’s and where’s of how each ring… Read More

How To Brighten Up A Room With Fun Wall Art

27th November 202026th November 2020

This is a brand-partnered post. When it comes to home interiors something that often gets missed is accessories for your walls. It’s can be very easy to paint a room a new colour or add some wallpaper but large walls especially can end up looking a bit bare and plain. However, there are some really… Read More

Scrapbook Loves Autumn 2020

17th November 202016th November 2020

Darker nights, crispy leaves and  Christmas decorations up already,   must be… Autumn?  What a weird year eh?  I am definitely not in the  ‘early Christmas decorations’ camp but I do get why so many other people have their lights and trees up in mid November this year.  We’re in another lockdown though for our family… 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!
