I love ice cream, and it looks like my two have taken after me! Athena has always been a fan of the lovely stuff as a pudding (pizza Hut ice cream machines are her fave!) But we rarely get to enjoy a proper ice lolly, mainly because they’re so messy to eat at home!
The Chequers Inn in Slaugham opened a couple of months ago under new management, and will have accommodation available within a few weeks too. It’s located just north of Haywards Heath in a really picturesque little village. We visited for Sunday Roast last weekend and we’re seated in the covered conservatory area overlooking the garden and a sweeping field surrounded…
A couple of weeks ago we were invited to the premier of the new Thomas & Friends film ‘The Great Race‘ and to celebrate the launch Arlo was sent some Thomas clothes to put to the test!
There’s not been a great deal of change in the relationships between my two siblings this past month. Athena has been a little irritable over the last couple of weeks as she’s been ill and when Arlo has clambered over her she’s pushed him off her a few times, when normally she’s quite accepting! However a few times he has…
I do love a bag with lots of pockets, so when I was sent the gorgeous TotsBaby changing bag in the Infinity style I wasn’t disappointed! Not only does it have lots of pockets but it has backpack straps too, add to the fact that it is purple and it ticks all the boxes!
We know this isn’t our ‘forever home’, not only does it not have a garden but although it has three bedrooms we use one as a playroom. Our mortgage is fixed for 5 years so we’re hoping to be in a position to sell this house at a profit and buy something that will be more suited to our family…
For Athena’s third birthday we decided to have a bit more of a celebration than we’ve had in the past, as I thought at three she is more likely to remember the day and can have a greater say in it too! This was the first time we hired somewhere for a party (well, apart from her Christening party,…
So, what have we done for the last week? Not a great deal really as poor Athena woke up on Monday (her 3rd Birthday!) with Chicken Pox! It meant we spent most of the week at home or at the beach where we weren’t risking spreading it about any more than we already had at her birthday party the day…
Last Friday Athena and Arlo had an underwater adventure at Brighton’s Sealife Centre. It’s somewhere that I’d been before but not for a long time, and quite often it was for networking events in my old job (wonderful to walk round with a glass of wine but just as lovely with two small excited children and their Nan!) and a…
Just a fun little outfit from Arlo for this ‘what the kids wore’ and a complete accident that both items happen to be from Zara and have faces on them!
Animals are Delicious is a boxed set of three fold out board books, by Sarah Hutt, Dave Ladd and Stephanie Anderson. Designed to help children learn all about the food chain in three different habitats. Athena’s favourite of the three is ‘all around the forest’, and although at the moment she thinks animals eating other animals is funny I think she…
Today is Athena’s third birthday! I can hardly believe it but she’s three. THREE. In the last few months she has changed so much. She’s suddenly so grown up, never stops talking and is coming up with new things daily. A couple of days ago she started telling us about how seeds grown, and the beanstalks need water to grow…
