I think it would be hard to find someone who hadn’t either been to or hosted a BBQ this summer! Chatting with friends, children having fun and piles of delicious smoky barbecued food, what more could you ask for? As part of the amazing Clubcard Boost scheme at Tesco I was asked to pick out… Read More
Athena only ever asks to watch three programs on TV. One of them is Bing, and it’s the least objectionable of the choices! I like it because each little episode has a nice moral to the story, and it deals with every issues that a toddler comes across; Sharing, potty training, losing things and… Read More
Another week when I don’t have the time or the energy to write up a proper weekly review post. Bit of a disappointing week as we had an offer accepted on a property only to have to withdraw it because our mortgage advisor is a douchebag basically. It’s a long story and I can’t be… Read More
Last Sunday we spent the day in Hastings being tourists! We hadn’t had a family day out a while and Hastings is about an hour drive from us, long enough to not go very often but not so far that the journey is unbearable with two children! Hastings is a seaside town in East Sussex and… Read More
There are two items to showcase for this week’s ‘What the Toddler Wore’ and they’re both from Little Sunflowers an online children’s clothing website. First up is a lovely Super Twirly Lily & Sid dress. Now I don’t normally choose pink things for Athena but this isn’t too OTT pink and she loved it when we were… Read More

I like a lot of light in a room, and hate to sit and watch a film in the dark. Sam however prefers to watch things in almost pitch black! Now the nights are getting darker earlier again (hurrah!) we’re fighting over whether we have the main light on or off! I’m already well… Read More
Well swipe me down with a feather, Arlo is four months old! He’s changed a lot physically over the last month, mostly in size as he’s now a chunky 18lbs (well, this is calculated by standing on the scales with and without him) but he’s rapidly growing out of 3-6 month clothes already and as… Read More
A very short one this week, I’ve got a baby in the middle of leap four (The Wonder Weeks if you’ve no idea what I’m on about) and we’re house hunting like crazy people so here is an outfit Arlo wore this week: Eagle T shirt from Baby K at Mothercare and Burgundy joggers… Read More
