I’m meeting my bestie for a socially distanced meet up today. It’s so overdue. It’s all been a bit mad recently and we barely get time to chat anymore, video calls are a thing of the past, and when we can message, we’ll have a moment once or twice here and there on Facebook messenger,…

And just like that Christmas is over…
I can’t believe Christmas has been and gone and we’re just a few days away until 2020. Seriously, how fast has this year gone? It’s been a great Christmas with family and friends, but I’ll admit, I am looking forward to getting back into a routine. It’s that weird part of the year in between…
And just like that, Emily turns 3.
Hello Three. Wild and three. Who can believe my little, but not so little, Emily is now three. Gosh, hasn’t that time flown? I’m really not sure where that time has gone. It’s gone by way too quickly. Like a flash if I’m honest. I can still remember being told in a swift jiffy that…
Time to talk about the worst kept secret.
Argh, what’s she saying? I think it’s time. Time to talk about the worst kept secret. It seems to be the talk in the press recently, but mainly for the wrong reasons. Whilst most brands are shouting from the rooftops it’s perfectly OK to wet yourself, when it isn’t, I for one am happy to…
After 8 years, we picked up right where we left off!
On Sunday I saw an old friend of mine. It had been 8 years since we last caught up. 8 years! And a lot has happened in that time. Currently living in Timor-Leste, Jen is living the high life with her boyfriend, 2 dogs and a great job. Jen was over for a work in…
It’s summer, don’t ever forget wet wipes!
I made the terrible mistake of forgetting wet wipes the other day and my god it was an afternoon of water pouring over the side of the pram and praying we were closer to home whilst Emily bathed in her stickiness, oblivious to my panic. Before I had Emily the need for wet wipes never…
A Chinese & Thai Foodie Fakeaway Eve with Friends
Who doesn’t like a takeaway? Chinese, Thai, Indian, curry, fish & chips, cheeky Nando’s, pizza, burgers, kebab – the options are endless. Us brits love them. You only have to sit and watch tv and notice the endless stream of adverts that can confirm this – JustEat, Deliveroo, Dominos. It’s easier to eat in, than…
Food best shared with family & friends
The weekend before last we had family and friends over for Sunday lunch. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve seen everyone. Christmas was a quiet affair, we barely saw anyone. I think only now I’m slowly catching up with everyone of my own friends, everyone is just so busy cracking on with the new…
What are you doing this summer with your kids?
With the recent temperatures heating up the country making a plan for the summer holidays with Emily has been difficult. Ok so technically it’s not summer holidays for us as I work from home but it’s still the summer. What have we got in store for Emily? Well we’re going to Bristol to visit family,…
The heat in London was unbearable, heatstroke and tummy bugs were way worse
We were up in Isleworth last week and whilst we had lots of plans to see friends, unfortunately we couldn’t do as much as we wanted. Dear God the heat in London was unbearable. I mean, I’ve lived in London most of my life and have experienced that heat before but since I’ve moved down…
We visited Jungle Jim’s again and this time had mixed feelings
Emily and I have only been to Jungle Jim’s on two occasions including our last visit. The last time was last year with Clare and her daughter Scarlet where we visited the inside soft play area for children. Although the soft play area was ok, it wasn’t great for them, as they were restricted to…
A good walk for little legs
A few days ago after a morning meeting, Emily and I met Clare and Scarlet for a few hours. We had decided the day before that we’d walk along Government Acre, letting our little ones run free, then pop by the boating pool for a cuppa, hoping that the long walk would have an affect,…
I can’t believe how quick the last few weeks have gone…
Where has the time gone? No, seriously, where has it gone? It’s already been a fortnight since Jane’s funeral, which time has just flown by since, and now in less than 2 weeks it will be Emily’s christening. The event I’ve been planning since January, yes I’m a little bit of an organised freak, and…
Advice for new mums…
Honestly, I’m probably not the best person to give advice on having a baby and what happens next as I’ve only had one baby, a baby, my baby, little Emily who isn’t so little anymore, but in the eyes of just about most, is very little, but I do think there should be some kind…
Sorry I’ve not written in a few weeks, it’s been a difficult time…
I feel I need to apologise for the radio silence, but the past few weeks have been in limbo, a strange eternity, that’s kinda there but not, but it’s getting to it. Sorry, that doesn’t make much sense either. Let’s go back to the beginning… a few weeks ago, nearly four if we’re going to…
