Monday happy things
The last week was really fun and busy for us. I’m not quite sure how we survived the phenomenal heat, but we did. On the hottest day of the year I found myself enjoying a delicious lunch at The Ritz with my 3-year-old. We were invited there to meet parenting expert Sarah Ockwell-Smith and see…

Last week was a lot of fun and I cut back on my blogging and felt really creative for a change. I completed a little wall hanging that’s been half finished for months. Years ago I made really small EPP hexagons with no real idea of what I was going to do with them. I…

It goes perfectly with my vintage London bus sign and vintage toy bus collection. Watching and enjoying Birdman. Baking Miffy biscuits with my daughter. They didn’t last long…
