When we moved back to Norfolk a year ago I had lots of worries about how we would entertain ourselves. As an actress the theatre is a very important thing for me to make sure my children are acquainted and we have always taken advantage of the mega offerings in our capital; I worried that Norfolk might not be up to the standard we have grown to expect? And while it’s true we don’t have as much going on theatre […]
So… I am 15 week’s pregnant as I write, truth be told I’m 15 and a half week’s pregnant and finally the time seems to not be standing so still. I wouldn’t say it’s marching on but it’s definitely not dragging like it was and that might have something to do with the fact I am no longer feeling so sick. I do still get the odd wave of nausea but on the whole I am back to normal – […]
Another season brings another menu to Pizza Express and with a visit from Modern Mummy and her gang coinciding with the new spring and summer delights how could we resist a visit?! They are, after all, our Pizza Express buddies and rarely do we have a rendesvous without a trip to our fave restaurant. Together we’ve been all over visiting different ones but last night took us to one of my families fave venues on St Benedicts in Norwich. It’s […]
Finally all the P.R to promote a good body image seems to be working and as the mother of a daughter I couldn’t be happier. When I was younger, from about 14 up, I was very aware of how I looked and how I wanted to look and although I am sure this is a fact which hasn’t changed for girls, the way they want their bodies to be these days seems to be vastly different to when I was […]
I adore filling up our days with family trips; be they close to home or further away I am never more in my element than keeping the kids entertained with fun things to do and because we are such frequent day trippers I have a few top tips up my sleeve for that perfect family day out. The key to a great, hassle free trip is to plan and prepare to make sure that you get the absolute most for […]
This week I made a little announcement on my social media channels… It was just to say that THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER! My little lovelies (who both had THE most amazing school reports by the way – yep, EVEN Jimmy – HIGH FIVE’S) wanted to be the ones to break the news so here they are saying that we are about to become a family with three kidorinas come the first week of October! So we announced our happy […]
This is fine by the way, I was the one who started the co-sleeping when they were tiny and far from ‘making a rod for my own back’ as SO many people warned me it would be, I find the experience breathtakingly beautiful. My babies like to cuddle up to me all night long and they actually argue about who gets to go next to me (poor old Daddy doesn’t get argued over in quite the same way) and I […]
About a year ago I discovered this amazing way of shopping; I loved it then and my feelings have not changed AT ALL! LoveTheSales.com is a website which basically does all the boring bits of shopping for you so that you are left with only the lovely things that you like – I hate when you go out all prepared to spend a day on the spend but can’t find anything you like and even when you turn to internet shopping it […]
‘We should normalise breast feeding’! This is a statement I have heard time and time again and although I agree, breast feeding should be normalised, I do get a bit bored of the constant round of blog posts, news features and articles in print that I see come around and around like a carousel of repetitiveness. I mean we can SAY it over and over but really does it do any good? And who exactly are we appealing to? I […]
A bunch of flowers and breakfast in bed… Isn’t that what all us mums really want on Mother’s Day? This little beauty popped up on my Facebook Time Hop app the other day and I was reminded just how sweet it is when the kids are old enough to want to make a fuss of you! And here we are, a few days before Mother’s Day this year and I’ve been thinking about what I’d really like for the day. […]
