Dearest Raffie, You are ten months old already, how did that happen?! This time last year I was cradling my bump feeling like I’d been pregnant for about ten years and yet in the last ten months time has just flown. It’s because I enjoy every second with you and time always flies when you’re having fun! This month you have got super fast on your bum shuffle which is a funny as ever! You go everywhere on your bottom […]
We left the end of year at school with a massive high and both the big kids got wonderful school reports. I usually write about how they have got on but have literally had no time to even think so here I am, not documenting until we are well into the summer holidays and enjoying beach days in the sun! So I’ll be brief and to the point so that I have this as prosperity but so that I don’t […]
The AxissFix car seat by Maxi-Cosi is the latest model in their fleet of seats which just seem to get better and better in terms of what they offer and less and less complicated to use – thankfully! I have always wanted my children to be in isofix based car seats but with my old car not supporting the bases it wasn’t an option. We now have a shiny new seven seater as was necessary with the birth of our third child […]
This time last week we were enjoying some glorious Camp Bestival fun with my very best camp mates Cookie, Katy and Carolynne! The sun shone, the beers flowed, the kids laughed, ran wild and life was exactly as it should be in English summertime! We will gloss over the fact the heavens opened on Saturday night and we got gusts f wind over 50mph meaning the last day had to be cancelled. The stuff that happened before that little sequence […]

Create beautiful rustic canvas prints Firms like hello canvas make it really easy for you to create your own artwork for your home. They can take […]
A while back Florence told me that she wanted to be on stage. It was a matter of fact statement more than anything else and as she told me she just really needed to feel that way again, after she’d been in a show with her ballet school, I knew exactly what she meant. I had the same passion in my heart at her age, still do in fact, and the thought of stepping out of the wings into the […]
Camp Bestival what to pack?! This is what’s been on my mind ever since I woke up this morning and I’ve been making lists, lists, lists ever since. There’s just one week to go until the 2018 Camp B extravaganza and I realised, as I packed the glitter and the face paints all ready (I like to be practical…), that I probably do have some top tips to share with you all when it comes to knowing what to take! […]
We have a new Sports Power trampoline and the kids are beyond over the moon – they’re bouncing over it repeatedly! I can’t tell you how much they’ve wanted one or the amount of times I’ve been asked if we can get one soon but it’s a LOT on both counts! We lived in a tiny flat in London with no garden and short of pitching one up on the Wanstead Flats (can’t see Waltham Forest council having gone for that […]
Dearest Raffie, You are nine months old! There are babies being born today who hadn’t even been thought of when you arrived yet it still feels like I’ve only just had a baby! You are strong and fierce and you know exactly what you want as well as how to communicate that! You have even begun to actually start speaking and said yogurt! YOGURT! What a brilliant first word! I’ll concede it does sound more like ‘ogurt’ and you DO say […]
Shrek the Musical on tour hits Norwich Theatre Royal this week and next – Jimmy and I went to press night last night to confirm it’s blooming brilliant! The last time I saw Shrek the Musical was in London’s West End so the tour had big shoulders to match up to – yet match up it did! I took Jimmy as my date, my little big boy has been crying out for some one on one attention and do you […]
