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!
I feel like I’ve been ill for the last month non stop. First the abscess, then poor Athena was quite ill with a bug which I caught, then recovered from for a day and then re-caught (either from her or from Sam) Luckily baby seems to be fine and is wriggling around lots, and finally… Read More
I love mugs, the type you drink tea out of rather than people who will believe anything… here are a few I’ve spotted on my internet trawling’s! Perfect as stocking fillers, or for secret Santa’s you don’t know very well! All the images link to retailers… I think my favourite is the heart mug where… Read More
A Christmas tradition for us is visiting a festive market or display of some kind (last year it was Winter Wonderland) and top of this years list is visiting the Christmas Arcade at Somerset House in London, which is a pop-up version of Fortnum & Masons flagship store!

Last Wednesday was an ordinary day for me, until I finished work for the day and headed to Shine, a hairdressers in Brighton’s North Laine to have three quarters of my hair chopped off for a hugely good cause. It has been sent off to the Little Princess Trust to be turned into a wig… Read More
I think it’s safe to say winter has arrived in all its red nosed, foot stamping glory! I’m happy about it because it means bigger jumpers, scarves and a nice thick parka when I’m outside. Candles, fairy lights, blankets and mugs of hot drink are all in abundance at home, and Athena might even… Read More
PG Tips have developed a pretty spot on quiz to help you discover your ‘personalitea’, take the quiz here to find out yours! Mine was pretty spot on with ‘The Rich one’ (sadly in tea tastes rather than actual wealth!) but there is a whole amazing range of teas to suit every tea-taste in… Read More
