#ThreeWaystoWear with Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope have just launched their A/W14 collection, which is full of stunning pieces, from boots to biker jackets. I was asked to choose something I loved and then style it in three different ways. I chose this Scenic Print Dress, which has a  gorgeous autumnal nature print, but jazzed up with blues and oranges. The black back is a great…

Last days of summer #OutandAbout with Ritz

     Summer is definitely (maybe?) on its way out, but if today was anything to go by then it’s actually still plenty warm enough for a quick trip to the park after a morning at the swimming pool! Also let’s be honest, having a toddler full of energy means even if it isn’t warm trips to the park are…

In august I

  In August I…    Read a lot of books, and I am now 3 books ahead of my target of 50 for the year, hurrah! I reviewed a few here if you’re interested Spent a lot of time coughing and being generally not very well. But that meant I watched a LOT of Nashville, I’m almost at the end…

My tips for decluttering your home

We live in a decent sized 2 bedroom flat, yet it is full of ‘stuff’. Admittedly much of the stuff is baby-related but a lot of it is not! We bizarrely have two bathrooms, the place clearly designed by a gent, a woman would probably have made the 2nd bathroom a walk in closet which would have been far more…

Days out: Nyman’s Gardens & some new boots

So I was ready for autumn to arrive, I had got all my tights out the bottom drawer and fluffed up my jumpers ready for wearing, and swapped flipflops for boots! Then Sunday happened! Glorious sunshine and warmth descended upon us after an overcast morning us, so we headed to one of our local National Trust properties Nyman’s for the…

Recent reads: July & August

  Book reviews of some of the books I read in July & August! Click for other book related posts. Firstly I read three John Green novels in the space of ten days. I regret this course of action now because I have discovered a more than vague similarity in plot line in the three that I read, Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns and…

#DiscoverYourWay with Fisher-Price

Two weeks ago Athena and I were invited up to London to Prima Baby magazine HQ for a talk on the importance of play by Fisher-Price to launch the new #DiscoverYourWay campaign. We had an intro from Susie Boone from MadeforMums to explain why the research had been undertaken and then Dr David Whitebread from the University of Cambridge went…

Be right back!

I’m off up to Norfolk for a family wedding and a little bit of time away with family.  I’m taking a little break for a few days from blogging and twitter. I think it will be refreshing to spend some time away from screens and social media so laptop is staying at home and I’m turning twitter notifications off! I…

What the baby ate

  I’ve not written about Athena’s eating habits for ages, but recently we seem to have leapt a bit of a hurdle with food so I thought I’d do an update. After the side effects of her 12 month jabs we had a week of very little food consumption, which was a bit worrying but after a week or so she…
