Well the weather picked up just in time for our latest delivery from Frugi! It looks like we’ll be spending a lot of time at the local splash pad and then when the sea warms up a little on the beach itself! Athena has always been a water baby and would happily spend all day in water given half the…
This month hasn’t really seen any major changes in the relationship between my little pair of siblings if I’m honest. Athena is slowly becoming more tolerant of Arlo wanting to play with whatever she’s playing with which makes life a bit easier and less like playing referee!
I spend very little time (or money!) on my beauty routines since having children, it’s a far cry from having boxes and drawers full of lotions potions and makeup like I had pre-kids! However I still love to have a little pamper session when I can fit it in, and still care about looking after my skin and treating it…
After realising that poor Arlo didn’t have a pair of shorts to his name and being on the brink of a heatwave I headed to H&M to get him some. I came out £45 lighter than I went in but got both kids some lovely things. I didn’t even look at the adult clothes, such is life…
Athena’s feet seem to grow at a rate of knots, so none of her sandals from last year fit her and I don’t want to keep enclosing her feet in shoes and trainers on really hot days because I know how restricting it can feel! Thankfully Brantano got in touch to see if she’d like to pick a style from…
As you’ll probably have picked up if you’ve read my blog over the last month or so we recently bought our own home. We’ve made a good start on most of the rooms to get them looking nice and being comfortable, and it is starting to feel like home now! The one room that we’d not really done anything in…
Wallpaper is a great way to bring some colour into your space. It can add statement and interest without going overboard. If you really love colour then go for something bright to add some strength to your room. Mineheart’s Colour Block Panelling Wallpaper from The Longest Stay would be perfect for this. It is tradition and contemporary combined, showcasing the…
I love driving, although like most people long motorway journeys can be a bit of a killer. But its a chance to listen to music without too much distraction and the flexibility of being able to stop wherever I fancy is the best part. Although long journeys are often punctuated with a toddler asking if we’re there yet! The summer…
How do you really annoy someone in a supermarket checkout queue? Put your toddler in a jumper that squeaks. It works wonders! I’m not even remotely upset that I annoyed this guy either as he was unloading his stuff onto the conveyor belt before my trolley was even empty, I was going as fast as I could with a baby…
My slow cooker gets used far more than my regular oven these days so I thought a guide to slow cookers would benefit people who assume they’re old fashioned! So without further ado here are seven reasons why you should try using a slow cooker if you don’t already, and hopefully this smart little guide will encourage you to try one!
I’m grateful that I don’t seem to have anyone in my life who thinks it is strange for little boys to play with dolls, or kitchens, or to dress up as whatever they want. I am so thankful for this as I see people saying on-line in parenting groups or social media that their fathers or sometimes even partners don’t…
I’ve been a bit crap at keeping up with my Sunday life updates but in all honesty there’s not been a great deal of excitement or even anything of note! I’m drowning under a never ending cycle of washing clothes, small people and sorting and trying to tidy the house. We moved somewhere bigger so that we’d feel less claustrophobic…
