At least three times a week someone asks ‘so, when are you going back to work?’ and I have to stop myself from reaching out and smacking them upside the head. I can’t blame them really, as I have done two ‘Keeping in touch’ days in the last few weeks. KIT days are days that I am paid for at…
Yummy Mummy Maternity, is run by two lovely ladies, Zoe and Amber. They have a really well designed and easy to use website, with each item described in detail including the fit and how it can be worn, much like you would describe something to a friend. This is by FAR the best feature, but the website is well…
Athena was very kindly sent this sleep suit and hat gift set from My 1st Years and here’s what she thinks about it… When my mama opened this I got most excited about the box… until I saw her unwrap the tissue paper and saw what was inside! My very own name printed on a lovely soft…
This week we’ve been flat/cat sitting for a friend in Hove, and as luck would have it I got the chance to discover a lovely little businesses here. The Beauty Shed is tucked away at the end of Conway Street about a 5 minute walk from Hove Station. Above the very clean and urban looking Gym called The Fitness Shed…
Who doesn’t like charging through a large pile of dry leaves? Do you ever get too old? I hope not. Last week we did a nice long 5 mile walk around Hove, up to seven dials via St Anns Wells gardens and then into town, around it and back to Hove (I only know it’s 5 miles because I google-mapped…
We’re having our daughter Christened in November, and it’s given me a nice little project to work on during nap times. The Cake To save money (and give myself a challenge) I am going to make a cake. Hopefully one with two tiers and different flavoured cakes. Hopefully the bottom one will be carrot cake as that’s what the top…
A few weeks ago I was queuing to pay at the tills in a shop in Brighton, and a couple of people in front of me was a lady with a bright pink pushchair with a bow on it. She was jerking the pushchair forwards and backwards and glaring at the baby in it. Now i’m really no expert…
I bought this last week with my Superdrug points, as I don’t actually need any more palettes (I have all the Sleek Palettes apart from the neon one, and i’m sure it’s only 80’s themed hen parties that buy that one…) but I figured spending points isn’t real money! Guess which one was taken with my phones beauty function…where’d…
Athena was completely nonplussed about our day trip to London a couple of weeks ago. I on the other hand was over the moon to go and finally meet with Catherine and Zoe, who I have been talking to online (about anything and everything) for ages now! The only downside was that our other chum Mary couldn’t make it…
As I wrote before, I am attempting to do my best to retain some sense of style now I’m a mother. As I’m unable to wear exactly what I want to due to still being bigger than I’ve decided to accessorise more. I’m a huge scarf fan, woolly ones, fabric ones, square ones or long ones… They can add colour…
Last week I had some GOOD burgers in Brighton. On Thursday night I had dinner with my friend Nick at the New Club (at the bottom of Preston Street) I’d heard rave reviews when it opened but then forgot all about it. I also wasn’t sure if it was baby friendly but it was (even a changing table…
I’ve decided to introduce a new series of blog posts whenever I reckon Athena has worn something extra nice… the kid has about 4 times more clothes than I do so expect a few ‘baby outfit of the day’ posts every so often! Leggings from NappyKind. These little leggings (that feel like tights) are so cute, especially the…
