A Holiday With Femme Luxe! I’ve been busy packing for my holiday (UK based of course) and have really enjoyed picking up a few new pieces from the old fave Femme Luxe to take with me. A couple of evening dresses won’t go amiss for dinner out while we have a Grandparenting team to hold the fort and I also got a new top which is perfect for a day-to-night, beach to bar vibe. Of course it WOULD help if […]
Summer Holidays Week One! This first week has been low key and spent outdoors. We didn’t want to risk going inside anywhere and potentially getting pinged to tell us to isolate before we go on holiday to Dorset so we’ve been laying low but enjoying it all the same. We had an extra day off to Daddy who didn’t break up from school until Thursday so we went to my friend Emily’s for some sunshine fun in her garden before […]
Win A Barrington Watch Winder! I always associate a good quality watch with my Daddy, he loves them and though not a jewellery man he would never be without his time piece.

If you’re an 80s kid you’ll know. If you’ve not seen the film then hurry, rush, find it […]

A Rare Box can have various themes (I opted booze […]

Last Day Of School 2021! We made it to the end of term without any bubbles bursting (for us) and we are out the other side into the school holidays! Posie just comes along for the ride! Raffie has done really well at nursery always going in without a second glance and just a happy “Bye mummy, you go to the shop with Posie then come and get me!” and off he goes. He’s thrived with his language coming on […]
