A List of My Adulting Fails

9th December 201610th February 2020

I’m definitely an adult. I am 32, I have kids and a mortgage and three jobs, there’s nothing more ‘adult’ than juggling jobs, kids and free time. But I still don’t really FEEL like an adult most of the time. Here’s a list of things of my adulting fails: I cannot keep on top of… Read More

Everything’s fine… or is it?

7th September 201627th December 2016

How often do you answer the question: ‘Hows it all going?’ or similar with ‘oh, fine thanks’. A fair bit if you’re anything like me. In fact what I really want to say to people is ‘Not great actually, I’ve not slept for more than 3 hours straight since my youngest was born almost 18… 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

My Kick the Bucket List

24th July 201610th February 2020

If you knew exactly when you were going to die would it change your view on life? Would you have a bucket list of things to do before you go? Would you tell people when you were going to pass away? Have a party or slip off quietly? Death isn’t something that I tend to… Read More

When life gives you lemons…

22nd March 201627th December 2016

When life gives you lemons you’re meant to make lemonade, right? Well I don’t have the energy to do that. I don’t even have the energy to slice a lemon and stick it in a drink. I am feeling so run down at the moment and failing in every aspect of life. This month has… Read More

Moving in less than a week!

17th March 201610th February 2020

We got the keys to our new home on the 7th March and since then we’ve been slowly starting to get things started in terms of sorting and decorating. We have had many trips to B&Q and stood for what seemed like hours in the paint aisle trying to decide on colours. Our list of things… Read More

Working 9-5 – or not

27th February 201610th February 2020

When people ask what I ‘do’ all day with the kids I always want to answer sarcastically ‘sit on my bum eating biscuits, watching Cbeebies and building towers for Arlo to knock over’ but actually it is all of that plus two freelance jobs (social media management for small businesses and managing my own blog)… Read More

Back to work

25th February 201610th February 2020

Today is my first day back at work at my ‘day job’. I was lucky enough to have thirteen months off with my first baby (working till the week before and then some holiday) but this time I was only on statutory maternity pay and therefore after 9 months the money ran out! So Arlo… Read More

Do a Good Deed

22nd December 201510th February 2020

I’m a big believer in Karma, and what goes around comes around and think that Christmas is a good time of year for people to look for opportunities to help someone out… I was amazed when someone paid for my Christmas food shop when I forgot my purse last year. This year I’ve just continued… Read More

Annoyances: Facebook

22nd November 201319th November 2018

Part one of my occasional series on annoyances is Facebook. I’m just going to list what irritates me about it, there’s a lot! If I could get away with print screening and blanking out peoples names I would, but although hardly anyone in my ‘real life’ is aware that I blog I wouldn’t risk it!… 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 😍
