As you might know, I had two moles on my face removed last week at The Harley Street Dermatology Clinic with Dr Adam Friedmann. Dr Friedmann, a Consultant Dermatologist suggested that it may take between 7 and 10 days for the black marks left by quarterisation to fall off and for my face to start looking better again. I know it could take 6 months to heal completely and for the scars to be more unnoticeable but I am already, happy just one […]

I use my new Nikon D3200 for most of the photographs on my blog these days. Mainly because I find it very easy to use now that I have been on my course but also because the picture quality is out of this world! I won’t say I’m 100% proficient in using it yet, far from it, I’ve lots to learn but the course I took with Nikon helped unlock the language for me and I’m doing much better I […]

I love clothes and fashion and I especially enjoy buying lovely things for the children to wear. There’s so much choice on the high street these days and something which accommodates every purse, you can even buy not just clothes, but lovely clothes in supermarkets. I myself have noticed that the majority of clothing I wear these days comes from purchases made whilst doing my grocery shopping and it’s not just because the price is right, that’s merely a bonus, it’s […]

I have some very exciting news! I have been asked if I would like to be one of 12 official blogger ambassadors for the LolliBop Festival. As you will probably know, I love the Lollibop Festival as much as my children do and I didn’t have to be asked twice! In fact, the email I sent back to the guys from the festival saying ‘yes, yes, YES PLEASE!’ probably pinged their inbox before they’d even come out of the email they’d […]

The first chapter in ‘The BFG’ by Roald Dhal is called ‘The Witching Hour’ and it really stuck in my mind after reading it as a child. It’s that time in the middle of the night when sleep won’t come and you just lie awake thinking and worrying… It’s not a good time of day! I know technically the witching hour is supposed to be mid night but I always think 4am is a far better candidate for the title! […]

This time last week I visited  The Harley Street Dermatology Clinic and met with Consultant Dermatolgist Dr Adam Friedmann for the first time. The reason for my visit? The two moles on my face that I have long disliked and wish I could get rid of. I wrote about why in this post when I got back from my appointment seven days ago. And this was how I looked before I visited the clinic and met with Dr friedmann again today for the second […]

Yesterday I was invited to come and visit the new Kiddicare Store in Enfield. It was my very first experience of Kiddicare having never before shopped there, either in-store or on-line. I’m not sure why really? It just wasn’t on my radar I guess. It is now! I couldn’t believe how amazing it is? They have literally one of everything you could possibly want for a baby or toddler. Under one roof! You can try before you buy, use one […]

Last month I wrote about the fabulous introduction I had to the supermarket Aldi. I had a fab time with some other bloggers getting to know all about the brand, what they believe in, how they operate and their amazing money saving deals! One of the ranges they stock is, of course, their lovely ‘Mamia’ baby product range! We’ve tried their nappies and we like what we see! We’re going to be doing a whole months trial soon which we’re […]

Last year Jonny, the children and I visited the Foodies Festival when it came to London. We had a beautiful day sitting in the sunshine trying new foods, attending work shops and having a glass of bubbly or two! It was a lovely family day out and I remember it as being one of the highlights of last summer! I was very keen then, to go back this year and delighted that I am going to be doing just that […]
