The Autumn and Winter Shoes That Every Mum Needs There is a saying that states that shoes can change your life, just as Cinderella… But in an effort to be more sustainable and not buy too many things that we don’t need, what are the shoes that every mum needs to have in her wardrobe? The autumn and winter fashion season is upon us, and as the weather changes, so can our needs for the shoes that we have. If […]
Haufson Wok With Steamer! Last week Posie and I got on the train, I know, they still exist and tripped into London for a second week in a row (what is this, real life again?) and we joined the Haufson team for their press launch of a new product, the Haufson Wok With Steamer (£89.99, currently on offer for £79.99) at School of Wok where we were presented a slap up lunch cooked by Chef Exose Grant (of Bake of […]
She Said Yes! When we decided to get married we had already been together for a decade and hadn’t really been thinking much about marriage let alone engagement rings, just happy as we were living in sin and loving it. However, when we decided to start a family it became important to me that we were married. I’m not particularly traditional so I’ve no idea why but it just did, and luckily, for Jonny, we both felt the same. It […]
Stairway To Heaven, Well… Bed! As often happens when you begin adulting and buy your own home, the things you would have once sighed and rolled your eyes at become incredibly important and not only that but something which you absolutely enjoy! Choosing the right home decor, the really fun part, isn’t the only thing on your mind when it comes to making your home perfect though as there is a lot of hard graft and mess before you get […]
Wonder Cabaret – Norfolk! Pre pandemic and lockdown number one was the last time, before we went to Wonder Cabaret, that Jonny and I had been out together in the evening. Since then we’ve had another baby (which has made date night a tiny bit trickier) and we’ve been in and out of lockdowns with theatre and live performances being one of the most greatly affected of all the arts. It’s wonderful then to be able to get out and […]
You’re Going To Be A Dad – By Daddilife Books – A Review! When I was pregnant with my first baby Florence, I remember pouring through Pregnancy magazines and manuals all the way through, devouring the information about the step-by-step stages of my pregnancy and relishing all the details. I even took a big stack of magazines on holiday with me which is when my husband began to read them too. He loved soaking up the information just as much […]

Our 11th Wedding Anniversary! We have three anniversary dates that we like to celebrate, call it a bit much and maybe it is but I’m a firm believer in celebrating all the good things because why in heavens not? Jonny and I got together on Christmas Eve in the Year 2000 and our 21 years of being together is coming up this December but our wedding anniversaries, yep, plural, are celebrated on both dates too. We got legally married on […]
Mother’s Ruin?! I went out Saturday night to celebrate a friend’s 40th. I wrote in my EDP column about my fun evening where I drank a little too much, then very tongue in cheek style poked fun at myself having to parent through a hangover the next day. My children were safely being looked after and my husband remained entirely sober. In my world there’s no harm done here but wow… Read the comments section on the paper then come […]
Love Rings! The giving of rings to symbolise love dates back as far as the 16th centrury and is to demonstrate no end. A never ending circle to wear always and celebrate relationships be they promised to one another, betrothed or wed. I had thought myself not too concerned with such tradition when I got married (eleve years ago this month) but over the years it became a point of upset for me that I had declined an engagement ring […]
