Lockdown Diary #3 – Week Nine! Well, I think week nine will be over and out for this particular lockdown diary and with hope that I never have to begin another one. I documented lockdown number one from our family perspective, week by week, until the children returned to school and because they were still in education for the second I didn’t feel the need to write.

What To Buy A New Mum For Mother’s Day! Since having Posie a month ago we have been spoiled rotten by our friends and family. Flowers, gifts of food made for us, chocolate for the big kids and lots of lovely things for Posie too. People have been so thoughtful and so generous it has actually made me well up on many occasions and the gifts, well, they just keep on coming – we are all feeling so lucky! So, […]

And then he always finishes with “And you love your bed!” – Which […]

Mash & Co – Laser Cut Gifts! My older two are quite artistic; I would say they both really enjoy drawing and making things and find great enjoyment out of crafting too. Florence has always been that way but for Jimmy it did take a little while. I remember him being about Raffie’s age and he simply was not interested. At. All! Then one day he drew this penguin and it was amazing. Not just amazing compared the the really […]

Fashion, said the researchers, is often used as a code or language system that sends a message to others regarding what individuals are like. If you are this […]
Lockdown #3 Diary – Week Eight! Well! A week beginning with not only some positivity but sensibility from the Conservative government which I feel is a juxtaposition but very welcome.
