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 […]
Every year I attend an event called Dream Toys which showcases the toys the industry believe will be the MASSIVE sellers every year for Christmas. They usually get it spot on but I have to say I often have my own suspicions which have been proven right way before the toy retailer’s association makes their announcements. We all remember those toys which were the hits when we were kids and it’s going to be the same for our little ones. […]
We had such a fantastic time over half term, it really felt like we were on holiday even though we stayed right here at home! The sun shone pretty much every day, we went to the beach (Cromer of course), saw friends from London, saw friends from home, visited some of our fave places like Gressenhall and basically just had an amazing week together. I always feel super sad when it’s time for the children to go back to school. […]
This time last week it was a gloriously sunny day and I was off to London with my pal to see Gary Barlow and Tim Firth’s new show, The Girls Musical. Based on the play and subsequent film written by Tim, his childhood pal Gary came on board to write some tunes as they turned this fantastic story, show and film into something spectacular for the West End stage and this was about as much as I knew of the musical […]
Yesterday morning, as Taylor Swift was once again shaking it off (blasting from Florence’s iPad), Florence uttered those inevitable words (at 6am in half term, before anyone else was even remotely ready to make the day work) ‘I’m bored’ and then I remembered that we have this great new app I wanted her to play with – a few more moments of peace could be bought perhaps? I smartly input the website address for Education Quizzes, logged her in and sent her on […]
It was this time last year that we decided to have our loft converted. It had always been a part of the plan when we moved from London to Norfolk and finally we were able to realise the dream. I’d always wanted a loft space, somewhere to sit in a bright and spacious place, do my make-up, get ready for the day (or night) and have a bathroom as well as a beautifully big bedroom area. I’d envisaged an open […]
After a theatre visit with my friend this weekend we dined in the gorgeous Chi Kitchen which is based on the ground floor of Debenhams on Oxford Street. It’s actually tucked away right at the side and back meaning it doesn’t feel like it’s inside a department store on the busiest shopping street in London.one jot and with views down the side street looking over the rich folk of our capital city as they meander home to their fab pads, it has […]
20 weeks pregnant and half way at last! Well, actually, as I write I am 21 week’s today and this means I am totally over the hump. It still does feel a long way off though and getting through summer and then going back to school AFTER the holidays has to happen first. Why does this make it sound extra long to me? I suppose things have got a little bit easier and I had a good solid 5 weeks […]
