Apologies for the radio silence, it’s been a mad few weeks since my last post on here. We’ve had a few hospital trips, a few bouts of sickness and a lot of moaning about the weather. It’s just been hectic. And whilst all is ok now, I just haven’t really found the time to sit…

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…
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…
Hello new hair
I’ve got a new haircut. It’s a few days old so if you haven’t seen me with it, here it is… ta da! What do you think? I’ll admit, I have a better picture than that, a few actually, but that was just after my cut and I like it a lot. Thanks mum! Out…
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…
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 meal plan a week in advance, here’s why you should do it too
Keeping on track of what I need to cook for my family isn’t always the easiest task in the world. Most meals I cook for Sam and Emily, doesn’t always interest Emily. She’s good with her food but she’s a little-food-but-often kind of child, so a sit down meal in the evening before us adults…
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…
Walking Club in Ramsgate who’s with me?
So a few months ago, a friend and I were thinking of setting up a walking club of some sort. Obviously at the time everything was so weather dependent but now that the sun wants to stay, walking more and enjoying this fine coastline and fresh air seems like a great idea. We had originally…
What I’ve learnt in the year since Emily was born
Since Emily was born so many things have happened. Amazing things, wonderful things, crazy things. It’s been a brilliant journey and we’re only 15 months in. The past 15 months has flown by at a ridiculous rate. How did we make it through this time without killing each other? But although there’s been moments, it’s…
Parents who fail at parenting
Parenting isn’t easy. Emily is 15m and walking everywhere and as amazing as it is that she is taking those big old steps and she’s exploring the world, you need eyes everywhere- at the back of your head just doesn’t cut it anymore. Tiny humans are crazy. In a world where everything is shared constantly…
We went to Giovanni Fletcher’s book signing in Canterbury
If you don’t know much about Giovanna, she grew up in Essex with her Italian dad Mario, mum Kim, big sister Giorgina and little brother Mario (he was on TOWIE), and with family playing such a big part of her life it was only natural that she had always dreamed of having children of her…
Who’s the default parent in your relationship?
I’m sure it’s not even a topic that has come up in conversation with your other half, but if they ever wanted to know extra details, it’s more than likely the mother who will know all the answers. Ever wondered who the default parent is in your relationship? The default parent is the one who…
