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 pair of sunnies to take to Israel on October so when I was asked to choose a pair from the…
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 shops full of sparkles and character and often not made to withstand active kids wearing them Bobux shoes are designed…
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 rescue though and sent her a brand new pair so they could match! What I love about the crocs wellies…
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 walking along a cold and windy, dark seafront at that godforsaken time of day, it is miserable. So I need…
In a bid to spend less time with my phone I’ve started wearing a watch. I was finding every time I glanced at my phone a notification caught my eye and then I looked at that, and forgot to check the time! Then the process would repeat itself and I’d never actually remember the time! So my new watch is perfect for easy time checking (and boy did I do a lot of that on…
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 in jeans and layered tops because I’m breastfeeding Arlo a lot during the day and not just at night.
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 padded and really warm, great for the middle of winter but not so good when it’s actually warm just really…
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 proper food in the last few weeks so until then I was his main source of sustenance! It’s been draining,…
