My bed, like my flat, is small… It’s a double apparently but I don’t think it really can be, I mean it feels small with two people in it and surely, being called a double, it shouldn’t?! It was not expensive! When Jonny and bought our flat we had no idea what family life would be like, we were a young single couple so why would we? We chose it because it was a beautiful terrace conversion in the right […]

Last time I met up with the guys from Pampers it was to hear all about their Love, Sleep, Play campaign. It was such an interesting evening and I met the wonderful Dr Ellie Cannon who is one of their panel experts. Dr Ellie and I discussed vaccinations amongst other things as they are something we both feel very passionately about. I simply can’t believe that there are people in this first world country of ours, with all the opportunities […]

Let’s kick off October with some party politics. Nope, I’m not talking about the dear chaps and chapesses who run (aherm) our country or any of those who want to, I’m talking about something way trickier than that I can tell you! I’m talking about the party politics of organising a children’s birthday party. Florence will be four on New Year’s Eve which while is still three months away, if you have grand ideas for a party the weekend before […]

In the summer we took part in the #SaveSummer challenge that Asda set us. Our challenge was to do a different activity each week to save summer from becomeing boring and record them for my blog. We had lots of fun but one didn’t work out exactly as we thought it might… We made grass heads using tights, pots, soil and grass seed and we decorated them with happy faces then we waited for the grass to grow… We called […]

Polarn O. Pyret; one of my favourite brands of children’s clothes ever! I wrote about the best baby outfit we’ve ever had a few months ago. It’s a lovely little brown long sleeved vest with bunnies jumping all over it and matching brown socks. My old work bought it for me just before I left to have Florence and she wore it for absolutely ages! Jimmy then had it too and even though it’s been washed and washed, it still looks […]

I love reading and am very happy to absorb myself in a good book rather than watch the television. I don’t seem to read nearly half as much as used to since having children, unless of course I count the many, many books I read to the children. I was read to as a little one and I remember vividly the imaginative voices my Dad would put on to read me my favourite Roald Dhal books amongst many others. It […]

The older young Jimmy gets, the more adventurous he becomes and all the more BOY is his personality! I am used to a dainty little girl who likes glitter and sparkles, dressing up, sitting and playing with dollies or calmly watching television. I am used to a girl who of course has lots of energy but who projects it in an entirely girlie way! Florence will sit to have her nails or face painted for as long as it takes […]

While I was on holiday I was invited to a launch party for when I got home but I completely forgot to go! How very rude of me. I would never ordinarily forget such a thing but being on holiday I guess I just wasn’t really on the ball or paying attention enough so I missed out on a party at Liberty to celebrate their new exclusive baby clothes range from Karen Brost. I’m so annoyed with myself because I […]

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 […]
