Summer Holidays 2021 – Week Five! Another packed week which kicked off with my niece’s birthday, moved into a trip to London to see our gang and attend some press events, followed into camping with the cousins and ended somehow knowing we have just one week left of all of us at home together. Jonny and Florence start their new years on the 1st of September while the boys are still mine until the 6th and somehow it doesn’t feel […]
Splash About’s New Legionnaire Hats! Keeping little ones safe from the sun’s harmful rays can be tricky, especially when they’re having fun and sometimes it can feel like a full time job slathering them in lotion every hour (while forgetting about yourself if you’re me – won’t make that mistake again!) and if your children are like mine then they will be VERY resistant to the cream making like slippery eels amid a tantrum at the mere sight of a […]
Clacton Pavilion! Today we put on our tourist hat and took a trip an hour and a half down the road to Essex’s illuminated attraction, Clacton Pavilion! A hive of fun and frolics all rolled up in one mega sandwich of seaside lights and laughter whereby the kiddos got to experience a great British day out with all the quick kisses of the rides, ice cream, sand, sea and a little less sunshine in the sky than we’d have liked […]
#GoodTimesAreNow With Andrew Peace Wines! It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it when it comes to working with wine companies and so I’ve taken one for the team agreeing to a little collab with Andrew Peace Wines whereby I’ve got to sample their Shiraz and Chardonnay over the summer to report back my findings… Oh well what can I say? YUM! Traditionally I’m not a red wine OR a Chardonnay kind of girl. My taste buds don’t do […]
Summer Holidays 2021 – Week Four! The weeks are just steaming away as they always do when we’re having fun and though this summer is busier than last, it’s not quite as frenetic as our usual ones so that’s both nice and a bit of a shame. I love to be jam packed and can’t quite relax when we’re not so I’ve stepped up the activities a bit I think now. We’ve been on our first camping trip of the […]
Different Choices With Femme Luxe! Since I’ve been shopping with Femme Luxe I’ve been granted the gift of choosing affordable fashion that I might otherwise have shied away from. I’ve grown to know what to expect from them in terms of sizing (accurate) and how their cuts look on my body and as such have dipped my bottom into a different colour scheme than I might usually choose. I’m a black for everything kind of girl favouring the darker shade […]
Summer Holidays 2021 – Week Three! Week three saw the second half of our lovely Dorset holiday which was lush even when not bathed in sunshine. The weather was 50/50 but the fun was 100% and when the sun did shine it was super worth it. A bit of a low to be home again with all the sorting out a post holiday family of 6 needs but we made the second half of week three fun regardless with another […]
Start Them Right with Start Rite! Every year I fly by the seat of my pants when it comes to getting the kids ready for the dreaded back to school. I wonder if it’s in part because I’m lazy but also because I really hate the thought of them returning after such a lovely summer. I wing it and wait and then most of the time everything is fine when i finally get around to my eleventh hour shopping but […]
A Grown Up IDentity! Traditionally I’ve not been a matching underwear kind of girl, if I’m being honest I’d say I don’t really care about underwear at all. I wear the same knicks I’ve always bought and when it comes to bras I simply can’t get on with them favouring instead (only when I absolutely have to wear something), a crop top. I just feel far more free without however, I concede that it’s not terribly grown up of me. […]
70s Summer Vibes With Femme Luxe! I think what I like about Femme Luxe is that there is such a wide array of choices that it doesn’t matter what mood I’m in, they have something to suit all of it. I would say I don’t have one particular style and flit from one to another on a daily basis. I love a surfy, relaxed edge to some things I buy and other days I’m all about the glam. Another staple […]
