I’ll admit that I had always labelled Bon Marché in my mind as for ‘middle aged’ people who like bright patterns (I’ve just turned 30, am I middle aged?) When I was asked if I wanted to choose something from their range of dresses I was pretty sceptical as to if I would actually… Read More
The final #RespectThePasta challenge was ‘to get the whole family involved with pasta’ and I’ll admit I took this one in a bit of an odd direction, but there is pasta included I promise! You can see all my previous challenges as set by Ask Italian by clicking here! I always was a pasta fan… Read More
For the last month or so I have been slowly but surely working my way through the new range of Fruit & Herbal and Green teas from PG tips. Unless you’ve been living under a rock all your life (or perhaps are not in the UK) then you’ll know that PG Tips tea bags are… Read More
However Athena doesn’t ever have hats on because she bloody hates the things! I have mislaid the one hat we have with a chin strap so I think I need to get some elastic and attach it to our other hats! I managed to get sunburnt this weekend and last weekend, and even the one… Read More
Pinterest is full of amazing baby bedrooms, I’ve stopped looking at it in fact because in her small double room it’s just not going to happen!

On a sunny day last week Sam and I went for a little stroll in the park estate just behind the village where I grew up, the perfect chance to wear my new dress from Joe Browns. You’ve probably heard of them before, they’ve been around since I was in my late teens at least,… Read More
I do love writing about myself (hello, why d’ya think I blog!?) so love getting tagged in these meme doobreys. Donna from Redhead Babyled tagged me so I obliged… 1) What are you wearing? Leggings and one of Sam’s T shirts. Hair is up in what was a bun once but is now more of… Read More
I am a lot less conscious of the state I am in before I head out of the door these days compared to the pre-baby me, although starting work at 6.45am for a lot of my working life meant that I did often do my makeup half asleep in the mornings. Since I am… Read More
My baby loves music almost as much as she loves grapes (which is about as much as I love chocolate digestives, lots!) So when a parcel of musical goodies arrived in the post from Fisher Price’s musical toy range she was pretty pleased, she’d have something to make noise with whilst bouncing around to whatever… Read More
