Dearest Raffie, You eleven months old, nearly one! How can this be?! The days, the weeks, the months… They have flown by and that’s because you are such a joy. Always happy and always so much fun! You beautiful baby boy how can you be eleven months old already?! You are now pulling yourself up to standing no longer content with the bum shuffle/leg drag! You want to walk but can’t quite do it yet although you do cruise just a […]
Back To School With Tum Tum Tots! Would I even be able to genuinely call myself a blogger if I didn’t write at least one post with the words ‘back to school’ in it?! I’m not, however, good at back to school for a number of reasons. 1) I’m not generally an organised person – I have grand ideas but I never manage to pull them off. It’s not me. I am the Mum ironing hems with my hair straighteners […]
Money… it is something we could all do with having more of, right? However, we tend to think that it is simply not possible unless we take on a second job or win the lottery! Both options seem unlikely. Plus, why should you have to work yourself into the ground for more money when you will have no time left to enjoy it? You don’t need to. Instead, you should look for savvy ways to save some cash on a […]
The Britax Romer Revolution Pro BOB – Review!I I’ve used lots of buggies in my time and when I’m finished working with one I usually give it away to someone deserving. I do however have my absolute favourites that I’d never be without although Jonny said recently that the number of those in that category had come to an end as far as he was concerned and any new ones that arrived had to be in and out the door as […]
You Can’t Grow An Old Friend – Thinkway Toys Buzz And Woody! That’s the saying isn’t it although I kind of think I’d like to disagree… I have been thinking about friendships ever since we agreed to review some new Toy Story toys (the new talking Buzz and Woody from Thinkway Toys at Smyths – which are excellent by the way and all in aid of celebration ahead of the new Toy Story film coming in 2019 AND you can […]
Peppa and friends are back! And you could win a family ticket to see them at Norwich’s Theatre Royal! PEPPA PIG’S ADVENTURE! Which is live in Norwich on September 18 & 19, 2018 (and which will be Raffie’s very first time seeing the show, the big kids have seen it every year pretty much) delighted children of all ages on a previous visit to the city and the plucky little porcine thought a return visit was due! So did we! You can […]
Joe Wicks launches new cookware range at John Lewis – My body needs the body coach! Following on from my post about losing my grooming way I am feeling inspired to try and sort my whole body out! I’ve not only let myself go when it comes to the preening but I seem to have lost all sight when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle too and while I have talked about my 5 stages of the day regarding […]
Miss Saigon Tour – Norwich Theatre Royal! It will blow your mind! I don’t even know where to begin? How to start? Miss Saigon at the Theatre Royal in Norwich has exceeded every expectation and I had lots. It’s gone above and beyond and I’m still, quite frankly, in shock at the tremendous performance I’ve just seen. A full house standing ovation and all the faces as we spilled from the theatre with delight tell me I am 100% not […]
When did I kiss goodbye to self grooming?! If I’d known it was the last kiss I surely would have lingered longer? Nestled in for one last time… Soaked up all the pampered beauty and delighted in it for one last hurrah?! Only… It wasn’t a clean break you see. It wasn’t a case of cutting off all sources and going cold turkey, no! It happened ever so gradually and I went from a girl who took long languishing baths […]
Half way through the holidays and I keep hearing people say they are tearing their hair out with the kids. I don’t know if I’m a rare breed or a little bit crazy but for me, I just see the days running away as quickly as they can and I want to hold on to each one. There’s a film, is it ‘About Time’? where he gets to re-live days and so he does one normally with the frantic pace […]
