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!
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
Anyone who was reading my blog at the start of the year may remember me mentioning that Sam went off on a ‘lads holiday’ to Morzine in France for a snowy holiday, where he broke his elbow on the first day snowboarding! Well somehow he has persuaded me to go next year with him! In… Read More
George challenged me to create three looks with one hero item, on order to take a capsule wardrobe on holiday. Now we’re going to pretend I’m off on a child free holiday in the sun this summer, perhaps Crete or Rhodes… (I’m actually not going away at all this year sadly but a girl can… Read More
I’ve written before about the fact that my children will have to share a room at some point in the not so distant future. It is a ‘double room’ but it’s by no means huge! We have thought about swapping rooms to give them more space but our bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with… 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
On Saturday we spent a glorious afternoon in Hove Park at Funk the Family Festival, which is a one day music festival that caters for all ages! We all had fun and were exhausted by the time we left (earlier than planned due to a non-napping toddler, but who can blame her as there… Read More
Athena has always been quite confident in the water at our local pool (she’s confident in most situations to be fair but is pretty unaware of potential dangers!) But when we visited the Blue Lagoon swimming centre at Bluestone on holiday a couple of weeks ago it was a much bigger pool, with a wave… Read More
Arlo is going to be 9 weeks old tomorrow, insane! Here’s what’s been happening with him! [here’s his last update at 4 weeks] Sleeping: Not very much! we’ve now had a couple of stints of 4 hours but normally a maximum of three! He sleeps best when he’s being held or in the sling and… Read More
This week has flown by for some reason, and writing this on Saturday night I feel absolutely shattered! I had a nice lie in on Sunday, well ish… Sam took Athena to the car boot so I chilled with Arlo. In the afternoon we did a bit of a house tidy up and unpacked our new… Read More
I said at the start of the year that I wanted this blog to carry on being a journal of our lives, so for the first time here is a ‘Me & Mine’ post! All these photos are from our week at Bluestone, and we were lucky to have my friend Amy on hand to… Read More
