Wow, what a week we’ve had with some very good parts, some wincey funny (Cougar) parts and some, unfortunately, pretty ugly and horrid parts! The Good! We went to Marbella for the wedding of some lovely friends and it was beautiful. My Mum took charge at home and I had my first full night’s sleep in 5 years. Our villa was amazing with panoramic views over the coast and mountains and the wedding, which took place in a Hacienda in […]
I’ve just come back from a wedding in Marbella where we had three whole days of solid partying. It was fine at the actual wedding bit but for the pool party the next day, I did feel self concious at the thought of baring all in front of so many people I know. After having two babies my tummy is no longer as flat as a pancake (far from it) and although other guests with children seemed to be fine […]
It’s not unusual for young children to be the most tech savvy members of a household. While it can be truly remarkable to see kids work so intuitively with technology, it can also sometimes be a bit alarming. For parents, protecting kids is paramount, and this includes protecting them on the internet. When it comes to sourcing broadband only deals for a family home, parents are wise to shop around and find the service that’s right for you, and one […]
Tomorrow I fly out to Marbella for a friend’s wedding and this past week has seen me struggle to find that perfect outfit! However, I think I’ve done it with a bit of help from my Mum who raced around Norwich trying to find the last pair of shoes in my size because I couldn’t find them in London. I LOVE my new shoes and can’t wait to wear my wedding outfit. So, that’s my outfit and this is how I look […]
I’m feeling old and hoping against reasonable hope that I don’t look it too… I’ve noticed for a while now that professionals are looking younger and younger and then it dawned on me… They’re not looking any younger than they ever were before, the difference is that I am now just so much older than I ever was before! I wrote a while back (here) about a night out in Shoreditch I had. It used to be my playground and […]
This is Florence’s first year of proper school so this is the first year I’ve had to be organised about absolutely everything. Organised about remembering books and bags and making sure I’m on time. Organised about uniform being clean, dry, ironed AND having a spare set in her bag just in case (in the first week I managed to fail at that entirely and when everything was still drying I took out the spare set for her to wear. Of […]
After our first Friday Night Treat Tea last week we have all been looking forward to another one and waiting for the long first full week of school to finish so that we could get on with our Princess themed tea! This is what we had for our Princess treat tea today! To drink I made a jug of water and dropped Vimto cordial ice cubes in the shapes of hearts into it. I also added edible glitter to the […]
Well, we made it through the first whole week of school with only a little drama. Florence has had up and down moments but thankfully more ups and she is already coming on leaps and bounds with her reading which she was already pretty good at from nursery. I’d like to take some credit but really, aside from sitting and listening to her read of an evening, it’s all her! She loves words and has been fascinated by being able […]
Arts and crafts have always been something which Florence is interested in. Any form of craft activity really, she’s just super keen; from first drawings to her quite accomplished talent at the age of four with most arty projects, she has always been able to spend hours concentrating and creating. Quite frankly I’m absurdly proud of her for it. I’m absurdly proud of her for everything she does it has to be said but she really, really is very clever when it […]
Back in June I was invited by Colgate to a party at the Bompas and Parr head Office to take part in their Colgate Sentitive Pro-Relief Challenge. Food and drinks with lots of teeth tingling ingredients to see if my sensitive teeth cold cope once I’d used their Pro-Relief prior to consuming! It worked really well and I really enjoyed all the lovely foods that might usually make my teeth, if not me, wince! I was sent home with a […]
