When you’re a new parent you literally take the kitchen sink out with you for just a day trip. I remember a tiny one week old Florence and I going shopping for a couple of hours and I had with me what was effectively a massive holdall! It needed to be HUGE to carry around all the stuff I thought I needed! After a few months you tone it down a bit, then by the time you get to number […]
My bio states I’m an actress because, well, technically I am. I trained as an actress, I’ve worked as an actress. I’m an actress right? Only thing is, when people ask me what I’m in currently I usually have to mumble… ‘Urrr,nothing right now’ cause I very rarely am… But right now, right this minute my answer is ‘Oh, you know, I’m in this one off night of original comedy and music organised by another actress I know who just […]
Last time we went to see CBeebies Live I was heavily pregnant with my baby boy. It’s hard to believe that was almost 2 year’s ago and now we are planning to go again soon; this time WITH that baby boy who is not so much of a baby anymore and more of a fully fledged toddler fan of beebies! Jimmy will be over the moon when he realises we’re seeing all his favourites on stage as will Florence of […]
We love our BABY born dolls in this house. Yep, I did say dolls plural because Florence actually has twins although they don’t live together; one is kept at Grams. I expect one day in the future they’ll have a long lost ‘Surprise, Surprise’ style meeting and it will all be very emosh! Anyway, the real reason we have two is because Florence really does love playing with them and we spend a lot of time at my Mum’s so […]
The other day I spent £12.99 on the Disney DVD Brave. We’ve become massive Disney fans in this house (mainly Florence but I have to say I like it too) and for treats we do have Disney related treats now and then! I thought the DVD was fairly pricey but then I knew it would be a hit and I thought it was worth splashing out on. And then… I heard about Asda’s Disney Kids Event for Easter and saw […]
Have you heard of Go Ape? The treetop adventure company which has courses all over the country? No? Well you need to… I never thought I’d like it myself, I’ve been to watch a couple of times and although I fancied the zip wires (of which there are many), I suspected I’d be bored by the rest of it and probably terrified! Leaping from platforms high up in trees, swinging into nets and having to climb my way up to the […]
When we moved into our flat it was in a right old state and we had the weirdest flooring ever! Each room seemed to have a different height and the skirting boards started half way up the wall in the living room, it was very odd! Sorting out the floor made the biggest difference and changed everything; it made it look and feel like a proper home for the first time. I knew to make it look brilliant we had […]
I have just realised that this is the month which marks 5 years since I have had an unbroken night’s sleep. FIVE years! This time 5 year’s ago I got pregnant with Florence and pretty much from the start of my pregnancy I would wake up in the night at some point. I didn’t have a bad pregnancy at all, only minor things like heart burn and the odd bad back but my sleep was definitely affected and then when […]
Florence is Disney crazy! She doesn’t even want to watch a movie if the castle and fireworks don’t kick it off and when it comes to shopping, well! She’d literally spend hours perusing the shelves in the Disney store! I’ve never seen anything twice at the cinema before now but since it came out I seem to have taken Florence THREE times to see ‘Frozen’ and we’ve already bought it on DVD awaiting the 31st March when we can pick […]
With spring comes a lot of new baby arrivals; lambs are bouncing in fields and chicks are chirping… And this year there’s a new baby on the block from spring to rival them all in cuteness! Lalaloopsy Babies have arrived and being Lalaloopsy fans in general we’re more than a little bit smitten! We were sent Crumbs Sugar Cookie who is super sweet, she loves fresh cookies when it’s time to eat. She’s always happy and she’s never sad, and if […]
