As I’m still up at daft O’clock (2.37 at the time of writing) waiting for a whole load of photos to transfer into my archive folders on my external hard drive I thought I’d write up a post to link to Hannah’s ‘This is the week that was: Captured’ linky(once she’s uploaded it at a more acceptable time of day,…
At 9 months Athena is: Crawling at speed all over the house. doing the ‘downward dog’ which is hilarious to watch pulling herself up to standing taking very tentative steps whilst holding on to things then getting annoyed that she doesn’t know how to get back to where she started. sleeping for 11-13 hours a night in one…
Since turning 30 in January I’ve decided to take better care of my skin and actually stick to a skin care routine for longer than 3 days. I’d previously been suffering from dry nose and forehead and had a few breakouts on my chin, so decided to start a new regime that I will actually stick to! Cleanse & Tone:…
Bath times are one of my favourite times of day with Athena. She’s always loved baths apart from one odd bath a few months ago where she cried. Luckily it was a one off and she now happily sits and splashes about until I have to get her out because the water is going cold! Today I’m reviewing three bath…
Didn’t do a great deal, it seems… maybe it’s because it’s a short month? Spent a week in Norfolk Celebrated Sam’s Birthday (so now we’re 4 years apart not 5, i’m older) Spent a lot of time on the floor chasing after Athena who wants everything she can’t have Sold our coffee table to make more room for her to…
I was recently tagged by Gemma to do this tag, and actually had a spare 5 minutes to fill it out finally! I will say though that I am going to do everything in my power to be a mama and not a ‘Mummy’. I called my mum ‘Mummy’ for years and years (never even Mum) but I just have that little…
A few weeks back I was sadly unable to be at the launch of the new Silver Cross Reflex, their newest addition to the range. I was sent through some images and details after the event and have just had a chance to look through and thought I’d share the info in case anyone is on the lookout for a…
I’ve not done a proper sit-down-with-a-cuppa-and-a-sleeping-baby rambly post for a long time! I feel like the days have less hours in them than they used to, and my to do lists are getting longer and longer and I am procrastinating more. This is something I need to change. I spent 2 hours tidying my underwear drawer the other day instead…
Here is the latest post in my Memory Box series. Photos and memories and moments that I want to remember… Last weekend we got back from a week in Norfolk, staying with Sam’s mum. We spent quality, chilled out time as a family and Sam got to see so much more of Athena than he normally does due to…
We were given an audio baby monitor by some friends who no longer needed theirs which we have used until now, but when we were offered the chance to review a cctv video camera I thought it would be interesting to see how much time I spent watching her sleep! So for a month now we’ve been using the…
Oversized T & flocked leggings: Boohoo. Boots: George @ Asda. Necklace: a handmade gift from Skye. A slouchy outfit for running errands round Norwich when we were in Norfolk last week. The leggings are too long (short girl problems) but I love them so kept them and wore them ruched at the ankle, which gives me fat ankles…
On Sunday the sun shone. Almost all day in fact. I know, I was as shocked as you are! We decided to have a family day out to Arundel, and stopped for a drink by the (overflowing) river Arun. I had a chance to wear my new sunglasses from London Retro, which had been sat in my bag waiting for…
