I don’t know if you’re like me, but I rely on the internet for pretty much everything I do these days. If you take a moment to think about all of the online accounts and sites that you have, you’ll soon realise you have an account for almost every area of your life, from your…
I’ve not felt like myself for such a long time, I think I’ve forgotten what it feels like to be me. Depression gets you like that. It’s ironic how some of the best things have happened to me in the last few years, but I’ve not really been present enough to embrace them. I’ve enjoyed…
Since I’ve been back on the Mummy circuit, I’ve heard a lot on first time Mum’s talk about their fear of labour and giving birth. It’s completely natural to feel this way as you’ve not been through it before. I’d even say it’s pretty common to feel a little nervous even if you have had…
We love Lakeside Arts here in Nottingham, it’s one of our favourite family places to go. We love the theatre, and walking round the park. I’ve recently discovered they have an archeology museum and the cafes are great for a coffee and cake stop. There’s definitely something for everyone. One of the highlights in the…
These last few weeks, when the sun was shining I’ve been trying out a pair of sunglasses from the GlassesShop and I’ve got to tell you they totally rock. When they arrived, they had to pass the husband test first. After some close inspection he announced they were a huge improvement on my previous pair. I…
I’m not going to tell you who to vote for, as we may not share the same thoughts and beliefs. I’d rather you didn’t vote UKIP, as I firmly believe Farage is a complete idiot and couldn’t lead a pack of Brownies, but that’s as far as my political sway is prepared to go. I…
I missed out on the whole festival experience when I was younger, for some reason it seemed to pass me by. I’m not sure how I’d of faired at a big event like Glastonbury or Creamfields, I think I’d have found the numbers a touch overwhelming. Fortunately, festivals offer such a variety of experiences these…
It doesn’t take a lot to upset the apple cart when kids are involved does it? We changed gym class today, so that Princess could go without me. I’d wanted to do one more term with her ideally, but her little sister isn’t happy to be carried round for the session now she’s more mobile,…
I have just got back from my second #blogcampuk hosted by the fabulous Tots100 team and their partners, Frank PR and Cow & Gate. 120 bloggers swarmed to The Studio in Birmingham for an awesome hangout and bucket loads of coffee. Just as well as my blogging bestie, Kaz from Ickle Pickle was up at…
Cloudbabies is one of the cutest concepts in children’s television, and now they are one of the cutest toys too! The Cloudbabies usually live in their cloudy house and look after the sky with their friends but we’ve been lucky enough to be sent our very own to play with and review. Baba Pink is…
Last year we took Princess along to see Peppa Pig’s Big Splash Tour. We went with friends, who have a little girl who is also a big Peppa Pig fan. I’d go so far as to say bigger than Princess! The pair of them thoroughly enjoyed the show, spending every minute on their feet singing…
We had to say goodbye to our garden furniture at the end of last summer as it had finally reached the end of it’s life. There was no point in replacing it last year, but now the warmer weather has made a welcome appearance, we have been in the market for some replacements since we’ve…
If you follow my blog regularly you’ll already know we are partial to a family meal out. As it was my birthday this week, it could not go by without some family dining. We had been invited to Millers Barn Beefeater, which was perfect timing given my birthday celebrations. Millers Barn Beefeater is situated just…
I am lucky enough to be able to look at my life at 40 and say I have achieved what I set out to. It’s not because we have the biggest house, because we really are short on space these days. It’s not because of my high flying career as that’s been turned on it’s…
I was so excited when my new camera arrived. I’d seen so many fab photos on blogs I visit regularly and was desperate to create similar images for my blog. I love my camera, and I’m quickly becoming a photography bore! When it arrived, it was out of the box faster than you can say…
How to get more space in the home? This is a constant issue for us. We have two small children who have accumulated a lot of stuff between them in the last 3 years. My son, has less stuff than them to be honest, but takes up the second biggest bedroom. He spends a lot…
