I love it when I find an author I enjoy and discover they’ve written lots of books! One such author is Dinah Jefferies who write historical novels set in exotic parts of the old British Empire, such as The Sapphire Widow or The Tea Planter’s Wife. I recently finished reading her latest book, The Missing…

Five Happy Things {Week 240}

Posted on May 13, 2019 by jenny

I love to start the week by writing Five Happy Things. It’s a chance for me to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures – it’s a post I always enjoy writing. It seems strange to not start…

When we returned from our week in Devon we decided to stop off at the Sandham Memorial Chapel. We are National Trust members and I really want to get our money’s worth and visit as many properties as we can this year. The Sandham Memorial Chapel was halfway on our journey home, so we decided…

Choosing the right Babymoon for you

Posted on May 9, 2019November 23, 2024 by jenny

Photo by Alicia Petresc on Unsplash I’m so pleased that we have a new Royal baby to coo over. Whilst I think the name is a little ordinary I’m sure the new Royal baby will be anything but with parents such as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. As a mum myself I can’t help but love seeing…

Doodle Cat Wears a Cape {book review and giveaway}

Posted on May 7, 2019May 14, 2019 by jenny

The Bank Holiday weekend was a great opportunity to catch up on some reading. We spent yesterday clearing out the children’s playhouse of toys, and turning it into a chill out den for them. They hoovered, put up posters and added a little desk and chair and beanbag. It was lovely to see them enjoying…

It has been super cold today for a weekend in May. It didn’t stop us going out to the park or having a day out but we’ve taken jumpers and coats! Fingers crossed the next Bank Holiday in May is warmer! Luckily for Little Sis she was sent a bundle of Petooties Pets, the brand…
