In August I…

  …didn’t really do anything of much excitement. This is a mixture of needing to recover from moving, continuing to sort the house out and unpack, and not having a whole load of money as maternity pay is a bit naff! I guess the highlights were going to my friend Elisas wedding (which was Athena’s first hotel stay too) and…

What I didn’t wear to a wedding and other things

    Dress: pussycat Sandals: New look (old) This is the dress I decided I didn’t want to wear to a wedding a couple of weeks ago. From afar it looked okay, but I didn’t want to wear tights with it, and wasn’t feeling body confident enough to wear it bare legged, partly because I have previously failed at all attempts…

Funky Giraffe Dribble Bibs: review

  Athena has started to dribble, not a huge amount but definite dribble. On top of that Sam is feeding her expressed milk from a bottle a fair amount now, so that creates mess! I started looking on eBay for pretty looking, comfy bibs, and purchased a few from an eBay seller I didn’t even look at the name of.…

Dining in the Sky

  Yup, as weird as it sounds. Dangling from that crane there is a dinner table, and on Thursday that’s where I had lunch! The experience is being brought to Brighton by British Airways, and offers access to a ‘pop up’ Beach Lounge plus a very special experience to dine in the sky at 100ft.   We met at the…

Athena’s Nursery decor

    Athena doesn’t spend much time in her nursery yet, one or maybe 2 naps a day plus changing and clothing time, but she will spend a lot more time in there in the (hopefully) not too distant future! she’s starting to sleep the odd 7+ hour straight overnight after a spate of broken nights sleep, so as soon…

Holiday Memories of South Africa

You’ve probably seen a few people recently blogging about their holiday memories for the Holiday Postcards competition, and I had a think about the best holiday I’d ever taken, so without further ado… In January 2010 I spent three weeks travelling around South Africa. It was the most amazing holiday, and one day I want to go back and take…

An outfit and a new Obaby zezu Pram

  Blouse: Miss Selfridge. Skirt: Primark. Flats: New look. Necklace: Freedom @ Topshop I look a bit wonky in the picture, and also I don’t think I look much like me, but it was the best of a bad bunch so ce la vie! This was an outfit from the weekend before last, when we made a trek up to…

Nights out without the baby

  Sam and I are going to attempt to have a proper date night/day once a month, with either my mum or some other unsuspecting soul looking after the baby for us. Each month we’ll take it in turns to decide the activity, so I thought I’d share with you our list at the moment… Billy Elliot the musical –…

Brightonians love a Roast

  Tesco recently surveyed 2000 UK parents, and found out that Brightonians spend the most money on their weekly shop, with 41% spending more than £100 a week! They also discovered that 68% of people cook for more than thirty minutes a day during the week but these people clearly do not have new babies in the house! It also…

Back on the healthy bandwagon!

  June ‘12 vs June’13 I hardly weighed myself when I was pregnant, so when a couple of days before I was due to give birth I had to be weighed and my BMI noted to be given to the anaesthesiologist, I asked what I weighed. It was near on 4 stone heavier than I had been when I got…

No 7 Gel Cleanser vs Naturally Radiant hot cloth cleanser

Vs I bought the No7 Melting Gel Cleanser(£9.00) or £4 with a voucher)  with a £5 off boots voucher, as I was running out of my Superdrug Naturally Radiant hot cloth cleanser (£5.99 but half price at the moment) so thought I’d compare the two, although they are slightly different products they claim to do more or less the same…

A non pregnant outfit & some new jewellery

   Shirt dress: F&F at Tesco | bag: Mischa Barton | Necklace Freedom at Topshop First outfit type post since I had the baby! hurrah! This is my casual outfit from Sunday, we went to a friends house for a BBQ, and stopped off for a quick stroll along the beach on the way home as it was still warm…
