I always think it’s well worth investing in decent sunglasses with decent lenses. Some of the cheapy plastic ones might look the biz but actually do they protect your eyes properly and protection aside, DO they stop you from squinting?  There;s only one thing worse than crow’s feet and that’s a tan line around them so that they are bright white and highlighted even more! I think when it comes to the kids we can so easily be swayed into […]

I’ve said it before but I always feel when it’s a service this good then it’s absolutely worth saying again, I LOVE LoveTheSales.com! This is the best way of fashion shopping for a mum that I can think of and incorporates every element of buying new clothes that I enjoy! Bargains? CHECK! Easy? CHECK! Stuff I love? CHECK! Basically you input all of your search criteria into their box. So your size, style, colour etc and then it brings up […]

A few months ago my Mum decided to book us all on a family holiday for June. We had been looking forward to revisiting the villa complex that we regularly holiday at in Portugal and were a little bit gutted to find that this year, they are closed for a refurb. We had a quick think and decided that we really did want to go away somewhere anyway and didn’t want to wait until next year for our regular haunt […]

Do you remember the first time you watched Toy Story? I was with Jonny in his shared house and we watched it on the HUGE video player that was about the same size as his T.V. This was about 6 years after its 1995 release so I was late to the party and not particularly interested but… Of course, like the rest of us, I fell in love with the story, the toys and everything which absolutely was intended to go […]

As you may have noticed from previous posts, I’m a leftie when it comes to politics and as for the Brexit vote, well… I certainly didn’t contribute to the fact we now have to leave the E.U. I was a firm ‘remainer’ and I wrote a post about my feelings at the time… Not that it did much good of course. The fact that we are now leaving the European Union worries me on lots of levels. Financially being the […]

24 week’s pregnant and I have to say time is dragging. Maybe because this is my third pregnancy and I am just totally done with being pregnant now or perhaps because I am super impatient but this seems to be the longest pregnancy ever! Friends keep saying how quickly it’s going but they want to be the one saying ‘no thanks’ every time a Pimms is offered… Yes, I am feeling very grumbly about the fact it’s sunny and I […]

Jonny bought me a bag once with a label inside which read ‘Lay down, I think I love you’! I thought that was really cute. And cool… It gave me the idea for the name of this blog post which is all about bedding and although these days, these pregnant days at any rate, a command of ‘lay down’ really does just mean I need to lay down… I still want pretty divine sheets to do so in! We had […]

This pregnancy is my third so probably the least indulgent. First time around I still had only myself to look after and could take all the time in the world doing things for myself. When I was pregnant with Jimmy things weren’t so easy with a toddling Florence to entertain and look after and this time, well… With two other children let’s just say the pregnancy has to take a back burner. It doesn’t really matter that I felt sick […]

Time is not something I have a tremendous amount of at the moment. I can only imagine when the baby comes it will deplete even more so I am trying to get myself organised and into a routine right now so that in a few month’s time everything transitions with our new family member as easily as it can. I’m thinking about ordering my supermarket groceries to be delivered (have never done this before) and lots of other little bits […]
