Now Athena is at school and Arlo with the childminder three days a week I am really hoping to carve out some time for myself during the week. I’ve not done any proper exercise other than the odd swim or long woodland walk since Athena was born and shes now four! Having two kids in… Read More
I go though sunglasses like there’s no tomorrow. They either get lost, scratched or pulled apart by the kids. Till now it’s not mattered that much as they’ve all been cheap pairs but now I am taking much better care of a pair of new Wayfarers from RayBan. I was planning to get a new… Read More
I love choosing shoes for my kids, although actually Athena chooses most of her shoes now as she’s suddenly got very into choosing what she wears and what she likes the look of. Bobux is a brand that I am quietly confident that I will like anything she chooses from their ranges! Unlike high-street shoe… Read More
Athena loves shoes, and wellies even more so. Those of you who have followed me on instagram might remember her sporting a fetching pair of yellow wellies last year, but sadly due to the ever-growing nature of toddler feet they’re far too small now! But don’t worry, they fit Arlo now! Crocs sprung to the… Read More
It’s December. It’s pretty cold, and three days a week I have to be up and out of the house by 8.30 for the preschool/childminder run, and once a week by 6.15am to walk to work! Let me tell those who are fortunate enough to not have to be not only up and dressed but… Read More

Finally summer seems to be round the corner, I’ve already got a little bit of a tan (okay, a few freckles) and have been fighting with the old gradual tan moisturisers (they still streak I tell you!) and I’ve been living in flip flops for a couple of weeks already! However I am mostly still… Read More
So it’s the middle of April and there have definitely been showers, which would be all hunky dory if a) I could drive everywhere we needed to go and not get wet and b) didn’t have a toddler that absolutely LOVES to splash about in puddles! I have a waterproof coat but it is slightly… Read More
I recently got my ‘Golden Boobs’ award, otherwise known as a year of breast feeding! It has been a fairly intense journey as Arlo has never taken to drinking from a bottle, and only from a beaker in the last month or two (if someone else holds it!) He’s also really only started to enjoy… Read More
I wrote last week about my first year as being a mum of two, and how different it was transitioning from one to two children. As a way of celebrating my first year as a mum to two Charmworks very kindly sent me a personalised charm bracelet. A charm bracelet is something that is… Read More
