Posts about our family life, you’ll get to know more about us by reading our ‘Scrapbook Loves’, Everyday Us, Sunday Scrapbook and other posts. Family posts cover all the topics that don’t really fit anywhere else!
To me Autumn signals the start of the ‘cosy months’ which come after ‘sweltering months’ and before the ‘freezing months’. Mid september through to Mid December is probably my favourite time of year. Not so cold out that you need so many layers that walking is difficult, but warm enough for a cosy cardi and… Read More
This month has been a nice one for these Siblings. Arlo is getting a lot more involved in toys (well grabbing for them, anyway) and Athena has started to allow him to sit near her and watch what she’s doing without shouting at him when he grabs something to chew on it. Lots of shared… Read More
On Tuesday I was invited to a really fun event up in London with I just Love It, a website specialising in personalised gifts for everyone and anyone! They were previously known as ‘Gone digging’ and have been about for around 7 years so are not new to the market by any means, just sporting… Read More
I’ve got a gorgeous brand to showcase this week, one that is local to me too! Hiku Designs is run by Aga, a mum who lovingly creates bibs, blankets and other baby bits in some gorgeous designs! Arlo was lucky enough to be sent a Bib & Teether set in an awesome racoon print. The… Read More
Another few weeks have shot by since I did a Stuff on a Sunday (although yes, I realise today is Monday!) post but in all fairness we’ve done nothing out of the ordinary really so it’d not be a very exciting read! Playgroups mixed with park trips and at the start of the month a… Read More

It was founded by a mother, Cecilia Crossley who was out shopping for clothes for her son and got thinking about how she could help the welfare of children who need it around the world. The… Read More
So at the end of the month we have Halloween, which seems to rapidly becoming more and more celebrated over here in England! This month we’ve been reading ‘Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Everywhere’ from Parragon books. It’s a cute story that covers feelings and emotions and actions in simple terms, in a nice rhyming way. The pages… Read More
I have a new love! It is a handbag, finally a bag just for me! No nappies or baby wipes will grace the inside of this wondrous item! I have been looking for little ways to regain a feeling of being ‘lauren’ and not MUMMYYYYYYY, and using a handbag again after over two years of… Read More
I am amazed at how speedily the last six months have gone. Half a year as a family of four, yet in some ways it seems like Arlo has always been here! The first six months of Athenas life were a lot more relaxed, sometimes we didn’t leave the house for a few days, we… Read More
Well another month gone and with it the last days of Summer I reckon! I’m fairly happy about that though as I’m a big Autumn lover… bring on the cardigans! I didn’t do a monthly recap last month and maybe not even the month before, and i’ve also been a bit crap at doing my… Read More
