We had a private service by the Vicar that married us a year to the day before. After that we held the reception (is it called a reception if it’s not a wedding?) at The Grand (you can see the lovely we room we stayed in in this post) I was far too busy catching up with everyone to take…
Part one of my occasional series on annoyances is Facebook. I’m just going to list what irritates me about it, there’s a lot! If I could get away with print screening and blanking out peoples names I would, but although hardly anyone in my ‘real life’ is aware that I blog I wouldn’t risk it! So, be offended or don’t……
I’ve only ever had one facial before so when I was asked if I’d like to review the new Dual Exfoliation Power Peel Treatment from Aveda at Shine I jumped at the chance, the salon is in the heart of the North Laines tucked away in a really great location a 5 minute walk from the train station. The general…
After a hectic weekend we finally arrived home on Monday night laden with bags, lots of christening presents people had very generously given to Athena, plus some 1st wedding anniversary cards for us. We had spent the night before in an amazing room at The Grand and I even got to enjoy it for two and a half hours in…
I’m resurrecting my Linkography posts, which are a bit of a selection of snaps, a brain dump of thoughts and/or what I’ve been up to and normally some links to other websites/blogs posts etc that took my fancy and I think the world should see! Basically a catch up post… I’ll get on with it shall I? …
As this weekend is a family filled and busy one, I thought I’d just pop a few wedding photos here to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary today whilst I’m enjoying the day. All these photos were taken by Laura McCluskey our amazing photographer
To celebrate our 1st anniversary I wanted to get Sam something special to remind him of our first year of marriage. It’s been a pretty good one, we had a baby and moved house so there is lots to remember, but I always wanted something to remind him of our pre-married life! (i’m lucky he has very little interest in…
I reckon a good percentage of people will have ‘be more organised’ as one of their new years resolutions, so I am pleased to give someone that chance with a Personal Planner. If you win you can design one for yourself, or you can give the voucher to a friend so they can design one, or better yet design one…
The latest addition to my bathroom is the Seascape Refresh hand soap and hand lotion set, which they very kindly sent me as an early Christmas Present! You would be surprised at how many times a day you wash your hands when there is a baby around… so the hand lotion especially is a brilliant addition now to avoid dry…
Doing – We have a tooth! It arrived without much of a to do and so far I haven’t used any teething gels, powders or medication. I can’t stand the idea of her having chemicals put in her unnecessarily and so far all she’s had is one shot of calpol after her first jabs. I am well aware that when…
In my few short months as a mama, and the months preceding I have spent LOTS of time browsing the internet and various stores trying to shortlist what I thought we need. I came across some things that in my opinion just aren’t necessary. Some are full on crazy and others I personally didn’t feel the need for. To reiterate,…
