I’m patting myself on the back with these ‘Stuff on a Sunday’ posts, it’s nice to sit and think about the week just gone and have a bit of a visual diary of the week to look back on! This week has been more hectic than most for us, Monday was our second wedding anniversary, and our 20 week scan!…
In my opinion the men in my life are the hardest people to buy for. Thankfully there are very few of them, and I have already bought and given Sam his Christmas present of a new Smart TV already as it was too big to hide anywhere in the house without him seeing! So for this male orientated gift guide…
The nights are getting darker and colder, and the mornings are just grim but since giving Sam his Christmas present of a new Smart TV for the bedroom early this year we’re all spending a lot more time in bed, even if it is watching Cbeebies with a certain someone first thing in the morning! Recently The French Bedroom…
I have had long hair for as long as I can remember, I think my last above the shoulders haircut was when I was 18. There is a post here showing my previous hair styles over the years (green, plaited extensions and ombre to name a few!) if you’re interested! Above was my hair in August… it’s a bit longer…
At the moment we don’t have a playroom, but hopefully when we move to a bigger house we will do! Just because we don’t have one doesn’t mean I don’t spend a lot of time dreaming about what the ideal playroom would look like for us, especially as I put all Athena’s toys away of an evening once she’s gone…
We had our 20 week scan on Monday, everything was healthy including Athena’s lungs when she shouted a lot because she couldn’t get to my belly when the Sonographer was scanning it. Putting her head on my belly is her #1 favourite thing to do at the moment which is sweet when we are at home and not so sweet…
An overwhelming sensory overload is how I would describe shopping in Marrakech. Firstly there are the smells: spices, donkey dung, moped fumes, fish, incense… then the sounds: people calling out to you ‘shakira’ ‘hannah Montana’ to get your attention, attempting to shown you the way to the Jemaa el Fna (even if that’s not where you want to go), mopeds…
A week before I went on holiday I headed off to The Baby Show in London and was kindly invited to the Stokke Launch to take a look at their new Trailz pushchair and the winter packs. Stokke is a brand that I have always admired from afar, so this was my first chance to actually push, touch and…
I missed last Sundays post because I was away in Milton Keynes, but most of the week before that was spent in Morocco (I will get a post up soon!) so I’m going to skip over that week and focus on this one, which was pretty dull even by my standards. In my defence I was suffering from the…
Half way already, I am convinced time is speeding by faster than a speeding bullet in this pregnancy! I have downloaded a couple of pregnancy apps but very rarely check them, unlike last time when I checked almost daily! The baby is the size of a Mango or a Banana apparently though, depending on which app you use! 2 weeks…
When I asked Sam where in the UK he’d like to spend a weekend, courtesy of Travelodge I was a bit disappointed with his answer of ‘Milton Keynes please’. But seeing as I’d just left him to look after Athena for five days so I could swan off to Marrakesh with friends I couldn’t really complain, so he picked me…
As part of the Bahlsen Book Club I love having a new book to read every month that requires no choosing on my behalf. It’s normally only ever on holiday when I run out of books and attack the hotels shelf of ‘left behind books’ for the only English ones that this ever happens, normally I dither and faff…
