Get a group of females together and there’s bound to be a bit of bitchiness. Be it girls at school, university or in their office jobs. Be it mothers in the school playground, women in the WI or even old ladies in a retirement home. Women, when together, can join forces and produce so many things, of course one of them is bitchiness. Mummy bloggers are of course no exception! The parent blogging community is vastly female. The occasional male […]
What would you do if you found money on the street? Honestly, I’d probably keep it. Unless someone was near who may have dropped it and then I’d ask them. I think if loose money is floating down the road then it’s fair game, how could you ever find the owner? What would you do if you found a purse with nothing in it other than money? Absolutely hand it in! How could anyone not? A purse could be easily […]
We went to a Christmas party in July, actually we went to quite a few! I know it sounds mad but July is the time when retailers like to show off their Christmas wares and get us bloggers excited about the things they’d like us to write about nearer to the proper yule time! They throw parties and we eat mince pies while we peruse the latest toys, clothes and food etc. It’s fabulously fun if a little odd! This […]
When we were at one of the Christmas shows this year I spied some VERY cool money boxes! They are brilliant for us on two levels but also brilliant for everyone because they are just so darn funky and fun! The first reason I like them and my initial draw was because B.Duck saving banks come in loads of different colours and some come with an outfit! Two of the outfit choices are ladybird or bumblebee jumpers! (For those of […]
As you may know by now, I’m a bit of a new fan of Aldi and I absolutely LOVE the Mamia baby range! As a blogger I get asked to test and review things all the time and it’s all very exciting! We love to try things from Aldi, including the things from Mamia and it’s fab being able to give them our feedback knowing that they really care, want to listen and use the information to improve! If you’ve […]
Every time we see a Lalaloopsy doll in the shops Florence gets very animated and lets me know that she’s really rather keen. I’d sort of mentally put one on the Christmas list for her and then when we were at the Lollibop Festival the lucky thing got given some Lalaloopsy things as a thank you for me being a Lolli Ambassador. Totally not necessary but totally lovely all the same! Lalaloopsy dolls have kind of a modern twist on old […]
We were invited to a Teddy Bear’s picnic in Postman’s Park yesterday. Postman’s Park is very close to St Paul’s Cathedral and inside it (small as the park is it’s one of the largest in the city) is a memorial wall dedicated to ordinary people who died saving the lives of others in heroic self sacrifice. Part of the film ‘Closer’, a favourite of mine, was filmed in the park and I was very interested to see it. A slightly […]
I love food. Too much really! I wish I didn’t like to eat as much as I do because I might fit into my favourite clothes! Alas, life is for living and enjoying and eating good food is part of that enjoyment for me. Sometimes I go on a bit of a boot camp and get to wear clothes I usually can’t and that’s great… but I just can’t keep it up constantly. I think my major downfall is bread. […]
I’ve spoken often about my prolonged breast feeding journey. Sometimes I’ve moaned about it, other times I’ve boasted about it (I’m quite proud really) and often I’ve mused about when Florence will finally self wean… Self weaning was always my goal and when she turned six months old I naively thought it was about to happen; I remember crying about the fact that our special time together was nearly over… Obviously I had nothing to worry about! I may not […]
Jonny and I first visited the Algarve seven years ago when we stayed in Albufeira, the party capital of the Algarve. It wasn’t our cup of tea at all as we go away from England to experience some difference and unfortunately Albufeira is just full of drunk Brits out to spend as much money on booze as they can. Up to them I suppose but we just wanted to get out so we travelled around a bit and were bowled […]
