I’ve said before that I am giving Athena a lot more choice in what she wears, from picking her clothes as we buy them to getting dressed in the mornings. I think children should be given independence from an early age within safe limits, and there is nothing quite like being given the independence to… Read More
Well the weather picked up just in time for our latest delivery from Frugi! It looks like we’ll be spending a lot of time at the local splash pad and then when the sea warms up a little on the beach itself! Athena has always been a water baby and would happily spend all day… Read More
After realising that poor Arlo didn’t have a pair of shorts to his name and being on the brink of a heatwave I headed to H&M to get him some. I came out £45 lighter than I went in but got both kids some lovely things. I didn’t even look at the adult clothes, such… Read More
Athena’s feet seem to grow at a rate of knots, so none of her sandals from last year fit her and I don’t want to keep enclosing her feet in shoes and trainers on really hot days because I know how restricting it can feel! Thankfully Brantano got in touch to see if she’d like… Read More
How do you really annoy someone in a supermarket checkout queue? Put your toddler in a jumper that squeaks. It works wonders! I’m not even remotely upset that I annoyed this guy either as he was unloading his stuff onto the conveyor belt before my trolley was even empty, I was going as fast as… Read More

A few weeks ago I was over the moon to be asked to join the Frugi Family! Frugi is a brand I know and love already, and to be able to work with them and help to shout about their fantastic clothes is an honour! Athena was able to pick a dress from their new… Read More
I’ve spoken before about how much Athena loves to embrace Hygge. She’s definitely going through a home body phase at the moment and often asks to go home as soon as we’ve arrived somewhere which is not frustrating at all! Both she and Arlo have been chilling at home in their new Wolfie & Willow… Read More
Athenas feet seem to be growing at a rate of knots. She’s now a size 8 and I’m hoping she’ll slow down a bit now so that these new trainers can get maximum wear! They’re the ‘Blaze’ from Bobux and are designed especially for little people who are constantly on the go, which sums Athena… Read More
As you can imagine it was pretty nippy in the Alps last week! I was worried that we’d all be too cold to enjoy ourselves out and about but actually we had a lot of fun and nobody lost a finger to frost bite! Athena wore her Kozi Kidz Alaska Winter Parka every day and there… Read More
