I’ve finally started making our home feel festive! I feel like the world has started putting up their decorations earlier than normal this year, I spied a couple of trees on my instagram feed in November would you believe? Anyway, what with all the illnesses we’ve been enduring, and the miserableness of Sam being in a car accident (nothing…
A Christmas tradition for us is visiting a festive market or display of some kind (last year it was Winter Wonderland) and top of this years list is visiting the Christmas Arcade at Somerset House in London, which is a pop-up version of Fortnum & Masons flagship store! Overlooking the stunning skating rink it is a gorgeously decorated and…
In my opinion females are easier to buy than most other categories of people for so instead I have put together a little collection of things for expectant mums, seeing as I am one, which can be given all year round not just at Christmas obviously! Images link to retailers. A nice set of underwear will make any woman…
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 play with much yet, but…
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 to someone! All pictures link…
Last year Sam did Movember properly, that is he ended the month looking like this: This year he decided against doing that (hurrah!) and decided instead to just maintain his beard and ‘tache, then at the end of the month get rid of the ‘tache completely, preferring to keep his beard because he looks like an overgrown teenager with a…
Last night the laptop stayed off, I had a nice weekend full of people and friends and family and decided to just chill out when I got home last night, so this Stuff on a Sunday post is a day late, oh well! Last week was pretty much a write off in most ways anyway, I can’t actually remember…
Last Friday I threw caution to the wind and decided to walk to park with Athena, instead of pushing her in the buggy or popping her in the mei-tai carrier. I’m not sure why I decided it was the right time, but we had an afternoon to kill so I went for it! The park is about a 5 minute…
Last Wednesday was an ordinary day for me, until I finished work for the day and headed to Shine, a hairdressers in Brighton’s North Laine to have three quarters of my hair chopped off for a hugely good cause. It has been sent off to the Little Princess Trust to be turned into a wig for a little girl or…
I think it’s safe to say winter has arrived in all its red nosed, foot stamping glory! I’m happy about it because it means bigger jumpers, scarves and a nice thick parka when I’m outside. Candles, fairy lights, blankets and mugs of hot drink are all in abundance at home, and Athena might even be wearing a festive Jumper…
PG Tips have developed a pretty spot on quiz to help you discover your ‘personalitea’, take the quiz here to find out yours! Mine was pretty spot on with ‘The Rich one’ (sadly in tea tastes rather than actual wealth!) but there is a whole amazing range of teas to suit every tea-taste in their Premium Range. I cannot…
