On Sunday we were lucky enough to be invited up to London to the Kings Cross Theatre to be amongst the first people to see the brand new Thomas and Friends movie. Now I have a really fond memory of being read the books and also listening to the stories on cassette when I was younger.… Read More
Finally summer seems to be round the corner, I’ve already got a little bit of a tan (okay, a few freckles) and have been fighting with the old gradual tan moisturisers (they still streak I tell you!) and I’ve been living in flip flops for a couple of weeks already! However I am mostly still… Read More
Last weekend we had our first experience of Glamping. I can say hands down that glamping beats regular camping by a mile and if I ever have the option between camping and glamping I’ll be choosing the latter. Make it ‘Explorer Glamping’ and it’ll be even better, perfect for adventurous little ones (and big ones… Read More
It’s been a funny couple of weeks, they seem to have flown by although we’ve not done anything too exciting up till last weekend! A lovely sunny weekend two weeks ago saw us have a lovely family day out, Athena played at the splash pad, both kids in the park and then we had lunch… Read More
Trying to make food fun is something we tend to do a lot of at home, not only trying new foods and flavours but also getting Athena involved in the preparation too! Stuffed peppers or ‘pepper pots’ are a really fun and easy way to prepare a tasty meal that incorporates a lot of different… Read More

I am a bad nursery mum, I think the only thing Athena has with her name on is her backpack, and that’s because it was embroidered on especially! Nothing I send her to nursery in has her name in but it really should, including shoes! Nameit Labels sent us a pack of ‘Back to School’… Read More
Well the weather picked up just in time for our latest delivery from Frugi! It looks like we’ll be spending a lot of time at the local splash pad and then when the sea warms up a little on the beach itself! Athena has always been a water baby and would happily spend all day… Read More
This month hasn’t really seen any major changes in the relationship between my little pair of siblings if I’m honest. Athena is slowly becoming more tolerant of Arlo wanting to play with whatever she’s playing with which makes life a bit easier and less like playing referee!
I spend very little time (or money!) on my beauty routines since having children, it’s a far cry from having boxes and drawers full of lotions potions and makeup like I had pre-kids! However I still love to have a little pamper session when I can fit it in, and still care about looking after… Read More
