So ‘Project #14to10’ has been a bit slow in some aspects, but I have lost some weight so that’s a good start! I’m going to share my stats monthly rather than every other week, purely because I think it’ll be a bit more impressive (here’s hoping!) but I have been getting on well with Weight… Read More
If you have ever dreamed of visiting the Valley of the Kings or cruising down the Nile, then this is the post for you! Yes, even if you have kids that you want to take along because you can survive a trip to Egypt with little ones in tow and have a marvellous time. Keep… Read More
Oh April, you lived up to your name that’s for sure! Showers and torrential rain were pretty much weekly occurrences! We had a pretty nice April though, all things considered though it would have been way better had we all not got sick, poor Arlo for two weeks!) We spent the first week of April in… Read More

I feel like our Easter holiday was a bit of a washout, it’s simultaneously flown by and also dragged its heels. Arlo turned three on Easter Saturday, but that was also the same day he started throwing up, and he’s only just stopped two weeks later. Long story short (and I’m bored of sharing it!)… Read More
I took these pictures on our holiday in Wales in the first week of the holidays, I love the first one in particular as I think it shows the kids at their most ‘normal’. Arlo is clearly thinking about how he can get away from the posed picture and Athena is paying no attention at… Read More
Are you in the process of decorating your home? If so, gaining ideas and inspiration is a crucial first step en route to turning your visions into a reality.
