With the weather taking a turn for the sunshine this week I can’t wait to get my summer grooves on with some fab new fashion. I just love sunny days with floaty dresses and minimal make up plus let’s not forget it also mean sunglasses heaven (no unsightly eye bags on display) – YES, this is definitely a season to smile about. It also means buying a fab new wardrobe of course, not just for myself but for the kidorinas […]
Today the sun has finally been shining with some actual heat behind it. Not just wintry sunshine which fools you into wearing a less substantial coat before you end up freezing in its bitterness but actual bona fide glorious sunshine. I left the house with just a cape on and turned my face towards the vitamin rays with a smile I couldn’t help. While I love winter fashions and revel in the weather taking a turn for thick black tights and […]
I came out of my other two pregnancies either wearing rose tinted spectacles or having just had the mother of best pregnancies ever. I had glowing skin, luscious long hair which grew and grew, a happy disposition and absolutely no aches and pains other than the occasional back twinges (and I mean it happened like three times) and on one solitary day (which I thought was herrendapoo) I suffered, SUFFERED I TELL YOU, with acid reflux. I expected then, to ‘get […]
Even when I lived in London I would visit my home of Norwich to stay with my Mum and take the children to the many fabulous attractions Norfolk has to offer. It was always my intention, when we moved back to the county, to buy a certain amount of annual passes so that we could regularly have days out without breaking the bank. We were used to capital city life where attractions are often free or heavily subsidised so realising it might […]
Rocknrollerbaby the 3rd is about to hit our screens in the first week of October! I am 8 weeks pregnant TODAY! Although I had experienced no problems trying to get pregnant with my first two babies I really found myself struggling to conceive a third baby. After very almost a year of trying I had come to the conclusion that perhaps it wasn’t meant to be and maybe I was just too old. I’d always wanted a third but had […]
It seems really hard to believe but last week, which was half term, meant we have been living in the country for a whole year. And what a year it’s been! I don’t have any regrets for the move at all and that’s really saying something when I was so convinced it was going to be a sad change for us. I was concerned that we would miss London and primarily our friends but actually, although it’s true that we do, […]
At the end of the half term holiday we took a drive out to Cambridgeshire to visit the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. Jimmy had asked if could see aeroplanes and as his wish is my command – ha ha, (and it’s not too far to Duxford) I wanted to make it happen. I’d not been before but love the Imperial War Museum in London so I was very much looking forward to the history, especially the WW2 element, which […]
We may have lived in London for an awfully long time and taken advantage of much on offer in our beautiful capital city but… It’s take us until we left to actually go back and do something we’ve wanted to for ages! Dining at Planet Hollywood! It’s something we’ve always talked about but never quite got our acts together enough to actually do. Until now! And along with Katy from Modern Mummy and her girls we headed over to the […]
We visited Ripley’s Believe It Or Not when Florence was really very tiny and I was pregnant with Jimmy. It was absolutely ages ago now I suppose and Florence probably wasn’t the right age to enjoy it but I found it quite a fascinating place. I remember wondering when she’d be old enough to appreciate such a place of wonder – it’s a museum dedicated to the weird and the wonderful – think the tallest man in the world, a […]
We’ve just come back from a mini break in London where we stayed at the Novotel Paddington and frankly, we couldn’t have wanted anything more from our stay. The hotel provided the perfect backdrop to everything else we did and was so brilliantly located with thoughtful details for a family inside that we HAVE to make plans to go back! Leaving London full time was one of the best things we ever did as a family. Getting out has meant for […]
