A couple of week’s ago Florence got a brand new rain coat and rain boots from Hatley! Pillar box red and chosen entirely by her she is absolutely thrilled with them (what little girl wouldn’t be?) and has been waiting eagerly for a day with rain where she could wear them to their full potential. She’s been wearing them regardless of weather though, it has to be said and even to a friend’s birthday party – she couldn’t be dissuaded! […]
We can honestly say that Stick Man by Julia Donaldson (and Axel Scheffler who illustrates) is one of our favourite books ever. We first read it to Florence as a baby and then when she was a little older we took her to the theatre at Christmas time to see the live show. This then became a bit of a family tradition and we’ve been every year since! We LOVE Stick Man! And I am sure this is the case […]
Looking at my drinks collection and it tells me I’m somewhat of a drinks fan. I haven’t even got my whole collection out at the moment because I’m mid house move and some of my faves have already been packed away. I’m rather partial to the tipple though so had to keep some faves out! While some people embarked on dry January after the excesses of Christmas I am more of a Ginuary type person – don’t laugh it’s an […]
Today we took a little jaunt into central London (while I can still call it a little jaunt, before we move and it becomes a mammoth journey) for a special preview screening of the upcoming film Oddball And The Penguins. It’s such a cute film about a Maremma sheepdog who becomes a guardian to an endangered colony of Australia’s penguins and we all thought it was fantastic. So fantastic in fact that we didn’t stop talking about it all the […]
I’ve so enjoyed working as part of the team for #TheStyleProject and absolutely loved taking part in January! I didn’t do every single day because life is somewhat taking over at the moment with our house move but I tried my best and got lots more than I thought from the days that I could take part! I found lovely things I’d forgotten existed and have re-introduced them to my wardrobe. Admittedly as we’re moving I am going through all […]
I’ve not written a diary update since Christmas time and I guess this is all down to me feeling a little low. I’m into my seventh month on my own during the week while Jonny works in Norfolk, I’m sad about leaving London, surrounded by boxes and dust from the loft, annoyed that our move is taking so long while being such a pain at the same time and I guess this is all making me very grumpy! Basically, I’ve […]
If you’ve been talking about going on holiday for years but haven’t yet got around to booking anything, why not take the plunge? Sure, it’s easy to convince yourself that taking a break would be too difficult – perhaps due to financial difficulties or work commitments – but sometimes a few days/weeks in a different environment can do you the world of good. What’s more, with Tots Too offering many family-friendly holiday packages to top destinations around the world, you […]
It is important to keep our homes clean, not just so that they are places we enjoy spending time in and are happy to show off to our friends, but also to prevent allergens forming that can cause allergic reactions. We may hoover weekly, wash our dishes daily and keep the loo spotless – but what about those tasks that we don’t often consider doing such as washing the curtains and cleaning all those nooks and crannies? That is why […]
After extensive use of my Stokke Xplory on all terrains, in London, the countryside, wet weather, snow, sunshine, on public transport, going around shops (you get the picture)… I can confirm that all my initial findings were absolutely spot on! I wrote about it back in June here with a detailed review and my love for the push chair has only gone from strength to strength. Jimmy is three and a half but he doesn’t like to walk much and […]
An exciting Sunday morning saw us take a trip into central London for the premiere screening of something very special from Disney last weekend! We couldn’t help but enjoy this particular viewing because, let’s face it, who isn’t a fan of The Lion King and The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar is the next part of the story! The story and songs from the original film are so famous, so loved and so well known and now, finally, we […]
