Buying a home or selling your own can be stressful. I know of a few people that have sold their homes this year and they’ve all uttered the same thing, “never again!”. With the market being strong now to buy and sell a home, I thought I would piece together the 5 things you need to get ready for a…
When I was around eight or nine my favourite toy was a dolls house. It was made of wood, had a front that opened right up, with working doors, windows and a roof that you could prop up too. I’ve had a search through my old photos but can’t find one showing it off sadly! It was fairly big so me and…
Since my last Siblings post things have been trundling along pretty much the same, apart from a few attempts by Athena to inflict pain on her brother. She’s still at the honest toddler stage, so when I ask if she was trying to hurt him she says yes, although I think it’s more an attention thing. Yesterday for example I…
A couple of weeks ago I was invited down to the opening of the new Brighton Hotter Shoes store on Western Road (only a few shops past Churchill Square) and I had a lovely evening of chatting, snacking and most importantly looking at, stroking and trying on shoes! Yes, I know what you’re thinking ‘isn’t that the old lady shoe…
Comfort is really important to me. It’s why I get changed back into my Pyjamas as soon as I get through the front door, it’s why I don’t really like wearing socks because I feel more comfortable in bare feet, it’s why I prefer to have feather pillows on the bed. We spend a lot of time and effort on the things…
How many times have you made this face when you really hoped to be making this face when you’ve opened up a gift of bath or beauty products from someone at Christmas? You know, those weird rice paper rose petals that are meant to do something to the bath but actually just stick in your lady-bits… or stuff that smells like…
Christmas and I have a strange relationship, I think it’s because it was never a really big deal when I was growing up as it was just my mum and me (hello lonely only sibling!) and then as soon as I was old enough to work I worked at a pub so worked over Christmas, then moved on to a…
I had an email a couple of weeks back from Minna, the lovely lady behind Pikku. Pikku means ‘little one’ in Finish, which is where Minna comes from originally. Now though she has not only opened up an online store selling some amazing brands and styles of clothes for little ones, but she has also opened a childrens hair dressing…
This past week we’ve spent very little time together as a family, Sam is working ridiculously long hours opening up a new hotel so is rarely home. Poor Athena has stopped asking for Daddy in the mornings, although Arlo and I get the bed to ourselves a lot which makes a change! He had the weekend just gone off work though…
A little while ago Duplo asked if they could send Athena a little something in the run up to Christmas. When a gigantic box arrived for her wrapped up with lovely red ribbon she was over the moon! Once she pulled the paper and ribbon off and got inside she was even happier. Lots of people see Duplo and Lego…
“This is the best thing that has ever happened to our kitchen” said Sam about a week after the Tefal Cook4Me arrived, and I’m inclined to agree with him! We’ve been using it for around a month now and it has probably been used on average five times a week! What is a Cook4Me? It is a magical machine that creates meals in minutes. It…
We’ve absolutely loved being Ambi Ambassadors this year, and today I have our final review to share. It’s the One Man Band, a funky little musical dude. Featuring all the bright colours we’ve come to know and love from Ambi he has a drum for a belly, a bell for a hat, he click clacks as you move him on…
