On Monday we were invited to have a family meal at the newly refurbished Cafe Rouge in Brighton Marina. I hadn’t dined there for a long time so I was interested to see what the new design looked like and to see how the menu had changed.
It seems like only a few months ago I was worried Athena wasn’t saying many words. Now I have a chatterbox on my hands and she talks incessantly. I have been keeping a little list of things she says incorrectly or funny things she comes out with at 2 and three quarters…
Today is my first day back at work at my ‘day job’. I was lucky enough to have thirteen months off with my first baby (working till the week before and then some holiday) but this time I was only on statutory maternity pay and therefore after 9 months the money ran out! So Arlo is 10 months old and…
As Arlo turns one soon I’ve been doing a lot of reminiscing about when he was a tiny newborn, completely reliant on me for everything. He couldn’t hold things, feed himself or even see very far!
I was very VERY close to losing all the pictures I had taken since Arlo was born, and from my last couple of months of his pregnancy. Sam bought me a lovely new laptop in January last year and when it unexpectedly died in November I hadn’t backed up a thing. No photos, no documents, no earnings spreadsheets. Nothing.
I am finally writing this post from my laptop! After almost three months of messing me about, damaging my laptop, losing my data and giving me someone elses I have finally got a brand new laptop from Curry’s! Sadly it’s not as fast as my old one but was the best spec I could get for the same price as…
I quite enjoy spending time in the kitchen, I love food and enjoy preparing it almost as much. I’m currently battling a toddler with fairly picky eating habits and a baby that is only just starting to enjoy flavours and textures plus a husband that has an appetite of a horse but who is trying to eat more healthily and…
One of the only snaps of these two together on our holiday at the end of January, neither actually looking too happy to be pulled along in a sledge!
When I was due to go on Maternity leave with Athena I had a really long list of things I would do ‘when I’m home with the baby for a year’. Needless to say many of them are still not finished (or even started) and she’s three in a few months! I wasn’t as naive when Arlo was due so…
I’ve been meaning to start posting more outfit posts for ages now, partly to give myself a reason to dress up a little and partly because I actually have a few nice breastfeeding friendly outfits that might inspire someone looking for boob & baby friendly clothes!
Books have become and even bigger part of our lives now that Arlo is more interested in them. Athena will sometimes go and show him the pictures in a book, or point things out to him when I am reading with them both. I’ll be honest and say that I reckon he is actually more interested in turning the pages…
The Olive Grove is a newly opened restaurant right in the middle of the iconic Lanes in Brighton, occupying a prime location a few steps away from North Street but because of it’s lovely secluded courtyard it was so peaceful you’d easily forget you were in the middle of a city! we visited for a late lunch and were seated…
