Much as at the start of last week I thought summer would never arrive I think it’s safe to say after a bit of sunburn and a weekend spent outside in the sun that it definitely has! We just have to hope it sticks around now! Tesco Clubcard have brought back their amazing Boost scheme… Read More
Breastfeeding can limit your clothing choice somewhat, but there are ways round that without living in maternity clothes that might be a bit too baggy post baby. Before I had Athena I was very much a dress wearer. I think I owned one pair of jeans and really only wore them for long country walks. It… Read More
Athena is two today! She is the girl who… Likes to brush her teeth (aka suck toothpaste off the brush) and wash her hands about 6 times a day Loves to nap for around two hours a day (hallelujah) Isn’t great at sharing, one for you, three for her! Doesn’t like vegetables (surprise surprise)… Read More
A couple of weeks ago I headed to the Library with Athena for toddler rhyme time. Obviously Arlo was with us but was happily snoozing in the sling. For the uninitiated Rhyme Time is a few nursery rhymes with actions and a story, led by an overly enthusiastic library worker (well, four at our local… Read More

I have a love hate relationships with anything waterproof. I love that I don’t get wet but generally hate how drab waterproof jackets can be! I also have a fairly small head so most hoods just flap around my ears for a bit and then blow off, meaning my head doesn’t stay dry! Until now… Read More
It’s been a while since we did much in our bedroom, but the arrival of Arlo meant re-jigging it a little to fit him in! Well, he would fit in quite nicely but all the paraphernalia he needs doesn’t! Plus a change of bedroom is always fun, I used to spend days in my school… Read More
