An Hour is all it takes…

9th December 201510th February 2020
applewood cheese

This past week we’ve spent very little time together as a family, Sam is working ridiculously long hours opening up a new hotel so is rarely home. Poor Athena has stopped asking for Daddy in the mornings, although Arlo and I get the bed to ourselves a lot which makes a change! He had the weekend… Read More

A Rambling we will go… Slindon Bottom!

30th October 201510th February 2020

Last Sunday I signed up to ramblers.org.uk and looked up a nice circular walk we could do as a family, and chose Slindon in West Sussex. We visited last year too but Athena was obviously not able to walk as far as she was only one and a bit, and there is an awesome pumpkin display… Read More

In September I…

30th September 201510th February 2020

Well another month gone and with it the last days of Summer I reckon! I’m fairly happy about that though as I’m a big Autumn lover… bring on the cardigans! I didn’t do a monthly recap last month and maybe not even the month before, and i’ve also been a bit crap at doing my… Read More

A stroll amongst the Bluebells

9th May 201510th February 2020

Yesterday we decided to blow away the cobwebs with a stroll through some local woods, complete with added bluebells! Now I know there are woods a bit more of a walk away that are more like a carpet of bluebells rather than the semi-sparse spattering we saw today but they were pretty nonetheless! Leaving the… Read More

Two under two, it’s not that hard…

1st May 201510th February 2020

… apart from when it is really sodding difficult! The first month with two under two went something like this… Week One: Glorious. Those new baby hazy days… snuggles, feeding, having a toddler who is excited by the new baby and a husband who is on paternity leave and who prepares two cooked meals a… Read More

Athena at 19 months

12th January 201510th February 2020

Whoops, time ran away from me it seems, as this was meant to be an 18 month update but is now a 19 months one. The last update I wrote was at 13 months back in July, as I see monthly updates as a bit repetitive and probably not interesting in the slightest for the… Read More

Athena’s first walk to the park

1st December 201410th February 2020

Last Friday I threw caution to the wind and decided to walk to park with Athena, instead of pushing her in the buggy or popping her in the mei-tai carrier. I’m not sure why I decided it was the right time, but we had an afternoon to kill so I went for it! The park… Read More

Winter Warmers

27th November 201410th February 2020

  I think it’s safe to say winter has arrived in all its red nosed, foot stamping glory! I’m happy about it because it means bigger jumpers, scarves and a nice thick parka when I’m outside. Candles, fairy lights, blankets and mugs of hot drink are all in abundance at home, and Athena might even… 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.

Gradually adding plants to every corner of the hou Gradually adding plants to every corner of the house. 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 😍
