I love to get Athena dressed, and try to dress her nicely on days when we are together (As opposed to nursery where I send her in old leggings and a top!) but when I am away next week I am already cringing at the getups that Sam will have her in. I am tempted to lay out an outfit…
I’ve never been the most house proud of people as you may have noticed if you’ve ever been round for tea! I keep the place as clean as I can, and tidy every so often… but with two small people untidying things as fast as I try it’s a bit of an endless mission! I’ve put together my tips for…
Keep faith… keep dating There is a common belief that there is somebody out there for everyone. Unfortunately, finding them is not always straightforward. The modern world has brought many benefits with it but it has also made certain processes more difficult. Finding someone you connect with and who shares your ideologies, beliefs and ideals can be more difficult in…
This week has been a mixed bag of being tired, being hungry and not getting very much done, oh well! Monday was a lovely day, I had a meeting to do some filming for a potential new TV show (I won’t be in it, I was just helping them with some research, so not as exciting as it could…
I find myself ranting (in my head, not out loud… yet) on a regular basis. I don’t know if it is because I turned 30, or became a mum, or perhaps because I pregnant and irritable, but I thought I should share these annoyances and see if anyone else feels the same way. Do tell me if you think…
More or less smooth sailing this month. Less needing to pee overnight but more maternity clothes needed, swings and roundabouts! I am attempting to drink more water in a bid to not have a constant dull headache, and I am also attempting to eat less biscuits… but that’s not going that well! The bump now starts just under…
There are two things a home can never have enough of in my opinion. Blankets and Cushions, and chocolate biscuits if I had to add a third but you’d get a bit messy if you snuggled up on the sofa with those! We’ve just added two new cushions to our home thanks to Boingy Cushion, and I took great…
Last Wednesday was generally wet and miserable, I had to drive 45 minutes to hospital from work in the middle of the day for a 15 minute appointment, and had various dull things to deal with at work both before and after that too. Finally the evening rolled around and with it a dinner date with my friend Karina at…
Like a lot of people it seems, autumn is my favourite season of the year. The colours, the cooler weather, the darker evenings and the smells. Much as I like to enjoy autumn from inside the house with a nice smelling candle and a mug of cocoa, I like to be out exploring too. With a growing family…
Well I never, six hundred whole blogposts. Well that’s what my dashboard tells me I have now… i’m not going to manually check that it is right but instead I’ll take its word for it. I started this blog in September 2011 so it’s just over three years old too. I know that 600 posts isn’t a particularly huge…
I love Indian food, I think it stems from the days when I used to stay over at my first boyfriends flat which happened to be just above an okay-ish curry restaurant, but ordering from there was better than cheese and ham toasties every night! Then I moved into a pub that was just across from an amazing curry house,…
I decided when I found out I was pregnant that I probably needed to think about ending the current breastfeeding journey in preparation for the one that will start next year when baby 2 arrives. Every feed ended with a sharp bite which I was getting pretty tired of (also a little painful) and she was feeding for shorter and…
