I wonder if we are ever as obsessed with sleep, our own and other people’s, as when we have children? I seem to have spent the last eight years revolving around getting people to sleep on time, not allowing people to go to sleep in the wrong moment and making sure people are worn out or refreshed enough so that they will comply with the above. And the reason I do all this? So that I myself can get a […]

Dearest Raffie. You are one year old! My tiny, tiny baby you are still, yet in the blink of an eye you are now one! You fill me with joy little one and it’s been an absolute pleasure enjoying every single second of your first year while I am so looking forward to all the other moments in the years to come my beautiful little one. You light our family up, you are the one we’d all been waiting for and you […]

What To Do In Brighton?! Say Brighton and automatically the beach springs to mind but there’s so much more to Brighton and Hove than the pebbles. Shop small perusing the famous Brighton Lanes, take a ride on the Brighton Wheel of Excellence or have a picnic in the gardens surrounding the Royal Pavilion and Brighton Museum and Art Gallery and you’re a world away from the beach yet still with that soothing salty air kissing you good morning. Wander into town and […]

Over the summer I wrote about some of the gorgeous Tum Tum Tots products we had been using on our sunshine day picnics and as the big kids went off to school with their packed lunches today it was the bugs food flask that I filled for them with hot cheesy pasta instead of a cold sandwich as per usual. The weather has taken a definite dip for the cooler despite the sun still showing his face and I felt a warming lunch […]

Halloween Is Just Around The Corner With Wilko! I love Halloween! The chance to dress the kids up super cutely (I’m thinking pumpkin, or ‘plumpkin’ for the baby again this year), yummy soup made with wonderfully shaped squashes and dressing the house up to impress and spook the neighbours for their ‘trick or treat’ fun! My village goes ALL out and practically everyone has decorations outside to invite the kiddos to knock for a sweet and we love it. Of […]

Peppa Pig’s Adventure 2018! I’ve been to see QUITE a lot of Peppa Pig at the theatre over the last 8 years and I have to say, it’s always worth a re-visit! I’ve seen the show in London, been to opening night, we’ve seen the Christmas version and caught it at local theatres on tour before – we’ve even seen it at the Norwich Theatre Royal in the past so I knew that it was going to be a good one […]

If you want to look great without breaking the bank then you are most certainly not alone. So many people find themselves in the same situation that you are in right now, but luckily, there are things that you can do to make your whole shopping adventure that bit more enjoyable. Choose Quality Fabrics When you do go out to a shop or even an outlet, it is so important that you are able to avoid fabrics that are poor […]

The Bowling House, Norwich – Review! It came up on my time hop this week that this time last year Jonny and I were off for a curry in order to try and GET THE BABY OUT! That’s the last evening we went out together sans children (outside the womb) – unless you can count a friend’s 40th where we turned up, ordered a drink and then immediately returned home when the Grandparents rang in a baby SOS – Raffie does NOT like to […]

Urbanears Launch Listen To Yourself with Tove Lo! Have you heard of Urbanears? What about Tove Lo? Well… At the risk of sounding very old indeed, I have to admit that I hadn’t on either front when a rather interesting sounding invitation dropped into my inbox this summer. I was with my sister and her friend who are both about to turn 18 and when I read it out they had both heard of Urbanears (‘Oh yes’ said my sister ‘I have […]
