I’ve travelled all over the world, been to many cities in a great number of countries however I’m ashamed to say there are still places in the UK I’ve never stepped foot in! I think in my youth I might have had a bit of an arrogant Londoner about me. One who saw the capital and thought it couldn’t be raised but since having children and taking more stay-cations I’ve begun to notice there ARE other cities in Britain and boy do we have […]
It seems there are infinite ways to light your home for the best effect, so many, in fact, that the whole issue can become quite confusing. Of course, you’re going to be living there, so you may as well get it right. Once you do, you’ll find it really does add to the overall homely feeling and atmosphere. The first thing you should do is maximise the amount of natural light in your home before you start brightening your home […]
Ahead of its UK release date of July 25th 2014 we are getting to go and see new film The House Of Magic in a couple of weeks time! An animated film about a cat called Thunder sounds super cute and just up our street! Thuder has been abandoned and seeking shelter from a storm he manages to stumble into the strangest house imaginable owned by an old magician and inhabited by a dazzling array of automatons and gizmos! The film is […]
Although there are plenty of sports that are practised all year round, it somehow feels hard work to get into a new sport in the depths of winter – apart from the obvious of taking the kids on that first ski trip, of course. Summer sunshine seems to make being active much easier. The Wimbledon tennis championships start this week and run for a fortnight and every year the numbers of people buying tennis rackets and booking public courts in […]
Well, I’ve just come back from Britmums Live and despite it not being exactly as I had thought it would be I have a sense of holiday blues about my morning. I always feel this way when I’ve had a really good time with friends and for me, because I’m lucky I guess, I got to spend the conference with some really good ones. Sudocrem were my sponsors for the event and I was there to represent them and their […]
When you run your own company there are plenty of things which can distract you from your main aims of getting on with the core business. Anyone who is involved in the day-to-day operations of an SME knows only too well that the amount of paperwork involved, whether literal or virtual, can become a full-time job in itself. Outsource Obviously one of the things about running your own small business is learning to look after as much as you can […]
London is both beautiful and interesting with pockets of difference in every corner. It’s the only place in the UK that I have been where you can walk from one street to another and find a completely different type of living; city street to countryside in seconds and for that is one reason why London is so awesome! There are many places I love to visit and south of the river, although not often on my list as so far away […]
Baby showers are becoming more and more popular in the UK these days as a way to really spoil the mum to be before she welcomes her new arrival into the world. Whether hosted by the mum to be herself, or by a close friend or relative, they’re a great way to enjoy time with friends before the whirlwind of nappy changing and broken sleep begins. Some great ideas for baby showers are: Gender Reveal Showers If you plan to […]
If you’ve not yet been to Bewilderwood with your children then you are totally missing out! It’s in Norfolk where I’m from but is well worth a journey as it absolutely one of the UK’s top attractions! We love it there and visit often because not only is it a whole day out, one which the whole family can enjoy whatever the weather but it is super affordable! Think tree top swinging, elves, fairies, a little bit of magic, slides, […]
Look, if I’m honest this whole ‘what are you wearing’? business, with regards to Britmums Live, has been doing my head in! It’s made me very grumpy. I am of course going to be wearing my ‘Sudocrem‘ T. Shirt as they are my fabulously generous sponsors (don’t forget to come and talk to me about their new ‘Care & Protect’ product) but what about when I am in the bar and for the awards ceremony in the evening?! My wardrobe […]
