I’ve never actually cooked a Christmas dinner on account of the fact that our family all live in Norfolk so we go home to visit them for the festivities. Obviously, being at my parental home means that my Mum does all the cooking! She gets up at the crack of dawn and works all day but it’s worth it as It’s always amazing. Boy she has to be organised though, it’s like a military operation I tell you! Next year […]
This week has been busy, busy, busy! My Mum’s been staying and we have spent the majority of it getting ready for Florence’s 6th birthday party which will then tunr into our leaving party tomorrow night. The party, which is ‘Wizard Of Oz’ themed is on from 3-5 and then we have told our friends to bring a bottle and join us for leaving drinks afterwards. My Mum has been busy making the rainbow cake (which is amazing) in my […]
Today, our friends at Pampers released a short film which showcases just how babies bring out the best in us all, highlighting that there’s nothing we wouldn’t do to make life #BetterForBaby – if you haven’t seen it, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/RMJ3Y-tSj30 Whether for your own beautiful brood, grandchildren, nieces and nephews or friends’ children, we all make changes to ensure that their lives are as happy as possible. And, what better time to celebrate the love that […]
It’s that time of year again when I’ve left it to the last minute to buy my photo calendars. I do one every year for the Grandparents, Jonny to have one in his desk at work and one for us to have at home too. I never learn though and every single year it gets to just before Christmas before I realise I still haven’t organised it. I’ve used CEWE before because I’ve always had brilliant prints, canvas and, of course, photo books […]
On the first day of December Mummy Endeavours, Family Four Fun, Modern Mummy and I drew the winner of our #WinChristmas competition which ran throughout November. The lucky winner walked away with Christmas in the bag and one of the brilliant prizes she won was her choice of a Le Mu London occasion wear dress. I’ve had my eye on this collection of beautiful clothing for a while now and fell in love with the Golden Glitz dress some time ago. […]
On Saturday the family and I headed off to the Pleasance Theatre in Islington to see their musical adaption of Red Riding Hood, a show runing until 3rd January 2016. We found it to be superbly fun for the whole family and a really brilliant take on the old fairytale that we know and love! The tale of Little Red Riding Hood has some added on for character moments and the short, well known story of how Little Red goes to visit […]
Is it just me or are the weeks flying past at super break neck speed right now? I remember the advent calendar wait for Christmas taking an interminably long time when I was a child but somehow we’ve gone from the 1st of December to nearly half way through in the blink of an eye. I’m not sure I like that?! With our upcoming move I could really use time to go a little bit slowly rather than the other […]
A couple of year’s ago I had flu for the first, and hopefully last, time. I thought I’d had flu before but boy when people say you really know it when you actually have it they’re telling the truth! A cold and sniffles flu is not. A week in bed with a terrible cold and headache doesn’t make it either. Try 4 weeks of permanent chills, aches, headaches, coughs, tummy aches and more… And then add another couple more weeks until you feel […]
I remember Barbie’s Malibu Beach House from my own childhood. A girl in my class had one and we all thought it was just about the best toy ever created. She was the girl we all wanted to be that year because not only did she have the Malibu Beach House AND Barbie’s horse and car but she also went to Disneyland in Florida for her holiday! She was a pretty lucky girl eh! My friend Angela and I didn’t […]
I do love an Aldi ‘special buy’, you know the ones! The weekly interesting items that go on sale on a ‘when they’re gone they’re gone’ basis! My favourites in the past have included bread machines, camping gear and horse riding clothes. All really inexpensively priced and always excellent quality! I can’t wait until they next do their cake mixer, I HAVE to give that one a go. I’m REALLY interested to see if they’re as good as the big […]
