As soon as Athena could pull herself up on her cot she started to chew along the top bar like a little beaver. I looked online for the plastic sleeves that clip on to the rails, but a) they don’t seem to be available in many places and b) they are expensive for what they are! I also read…

You need: Ribbon (or string), scissors, tissue paper in your choice of colours. Decide how many tassels you want, you need one…
Two weeks ago (though it seems like a lot longer!) I spent a gloriously sunny day in a basement, learning all about how to use my DSLR off ‘auto’ mode. We spent the morning being told the tips and tricks of the trade by local pro photographer Dade Freeman, who really does know his stuff! I now have more than…
As part of the ‘Keep Britain Breastfeeding’ campaign i’m sharing my top ten tips for a successful breastfeeding journey. I know i’m lucky in that my breastfeeding journey has been a relatively smooth one, but I know that it is not so for many people, so hopefully these tips will help anyone wanting to breastfeed, or in the early stages……
Ask most parents what extra room they’d love to have in their house, and apart from the obvious choices of gymnasium or study, many will say that they’d love a playroom for their children.

Okay so perhaps the title of this post should be ‘what mama read to the baby’ but I have been really loving revisiting these classics as our bedtime stories recently.

Athena has been sporting two lovely new dresses this week from Petit Bateau, plus there is a chance for one of my readers to win a whopping £50 voucher to spend on their gorgeous website. It’s actually a joy to browse through, all nautical themed and full of gorgeous items! One of Athenas very first cardigans was from Petit Bateau and…

So here I am on Wordpress. This is my 500th Blog post and the first one since moving from blogger to wordpress. I’ve been blogging since 2011 and what started off as a fashion and beauty blog with a few recipes flung in has now turned into a ‘bit of everything’ blog, but that’s just fine with me! I don’t…
I’m currently moving my blog across from blogger to wordpress… right now I’m working like a madman (woman?) on my layout and making sure everything works as it should!
Those of you who’ve met Sam will know he’s on the tall and ‘statuesque’ side. He’s 6’6 so often finds it a struggle to find clothes that fit.
