A Scrapbook of Our Lives – a new start for an old blog

23rd May 201710th February 2020

Welcome to SCRAPBOOK – or ‘A Scrapbook of Our Lives’ to give it the full title. For a while now I’ve been a bit bored of Belle du Brighton – I started it way back in 2011 and I’ve changed a lot since then! I don’t actually live in Brighton any more either, I’m actually… Read More

What Blogging is not…

2nd May 201710th February 2020
blogging-is-not

Last week I was at the hairdressers and my stylist asked what I did for work. “Well actually I have just handed in my notice at a hotel to go freelance full time” Doing what? he asked “Writing a blog, and managing social media for businesses’ end of conversation, though he did congratulate me. As I… Read More

5 Blog Goals for 2017

28th October 20164th November 2020

I very rarely talk about blogging on my blog. I don’t really write tips posts or ‘how to’ posts, because there are so many other bloggers out there doing it that I really don’t see the point, plus you know, google exists. But I do want to get down on paper (or, the screen) what… Read More

Why can’t I shout about my blog?

18th August 201610th February 2020

I’ve been writing Belle du Brighton for six years. Before that I wrote on Livejournal and prior to that on Diaryland; both sadly now long lost in the cyberspace black hole. But for some ridiculous reason many of my friends don’t know about the blog, or if they do know I blog they don’t know where.… Read More

Room 101: Blogging

9th March 201610th February 2020

There are a few things about blogging that I’d love to stick into Room 101 never to be seen again. These are things that annoy me as a blog reader…

BritMums – what I’m planning next

22nd June 201510th February 2020

You’ll probably know that I along with a few hundred other bloggers attended Brit Mums Live, a blogging conference (not just for mums though) in London. I’m not going to whittle on too much about the conference itself as there are probably a hundred other posts that will do that but instead I’m going to… Read More

The New Year tag & Lovely blog award

31st December 201410th February 2020

Well, here’s a filler post if ever there was one! BUT before you click the X it’s a fun one, it’s just that I am currently staying with family and enjoying spending time with Sam and Athena uninterrupted, so the blog is taking a back seat until we are home from our travels and everything… Read More

Blogolutions 2015

18th December 201410th February 2020

  I’ve noticed a few of the blogs in my feedly doing ‘resolution’ type posts for their blog, so thought I would jump on the bandwagon and hopefully give myself a kick up the behind. I am also not going to make any other new years resolutions, as I never really stick to them anyway!… Read More

My blogging history and tips for new bloggers

15th July 201410th February 2020

I started blogging publicly on Blogger in 2011. My online presence started way before that though with a Diaryland diary, then moving to Live Journal in 2000. Sadly that is no longer available as I didn’t log in for over two years, I would’ve shared a few teenage-angsty posts otherwise! I began reading blogs and… Read More

Black Deer Festival day one: exploring, hammering, buying hats & bandanas, good music, suncream, water, cider, friendly people, guitar lessons, slack lining, pebble painting, art, dressing up, tasty food, motorbikes, face painting and hanging out as a family together 💞

Awesome music from yesterday: Jake Bugg, The Cuban Brothers, James, Jinda Biant & Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly.

I never really buy flowers but I do love it when someone gives me a bunch, these tulips were a week old but going strong still 🌷🌼💐 of course it took me till a few days after they started dropping petals to actually get rid of them... But nobody is perfect, least of all me!

"boy with scabby knees and cat" This is the firs "boy with scabby knees and cat" 

This is the first time Claude has stayed sat on anyone's lap for months. He's really not a very snuggly cat and despite Arlo being the fastest\loudest\most disinterested member of the household in cats he was the chosen one 🙄

🎉NINE YEARS OLD💞 Athena turned 9 yesterday, 🎉NINE YEARS OLD💞
Athena turned 9 yesterday, which was a pretty good day to have a birthday. Preceded by a week off for half term, a four day celebratory weekend, a whole day celebrating with your best friend who turns 10 on the same day and then being at school for everyone to sing happy birthday! After school we went to the park where Athena finally got over her fear of climbing the really tall climbing frame thing (then did it loads just to make sure she still could) 🙌
Swipe for her 1st  birthday too, just because 😍
