Time for my weekly post about my 5 favourite things from the previous seven days. Monday happy things {Week 132} The lighter evenings have been very welcome…

Putting the finishing touches to our spare room
We’re lucky to have a spare room for friends and family to come and stay. It is well used but was in desperate need of a makeover. It’s quite a dark room, filled with a spare bed, vintage chest of drawers and lots of bookshelves. A few months ago we painted all the walls white…
Monday Happy Things {Week 130}
This week was a little crazy. After celebrating our son’s birthday over the weekend it was my turn to celebrate my birthday. So I started the week by going shopping with my husband and having a delicious lunch out. I really wanted to buy a pair of Saltwater sandals but I couldn’t find any, but…
Mother’s Day haul from Orla Kiely Covent Garden
Happy Mother’s Day to all you mum’s out there. Mother’s Day always comes so close to my son’s birthday and my own birthday that we don’t usually make a fuss about it. I love handmade cards and this year my children spoilt me with cards made at school. I was a pretty lucky lady because…

Happy Monday everyone and I hope you all had a great weekend. As I sat thinking about what to put in this weekly post I realised my calendar was pretty normal (and busy) for last week. I volunteered for a few hours at my children’s school, ferried my children around to their after-school clubs and…
How to make a Pez display case
I’m a bit of hoarder and can’t help but collect things. Do you remember Pez holders? They are plastic holders which hold little sweetie bricks, and they have a different characters head as the dispenser. I had them when I was growing up, although sadly never kept any of them. Now my children have quite…
Monday Happy List {Week 128}
This week has been a bit hit and miss. I’ve been busy planning for my son’s birthday which is on Saturday. He’s turning 7 which is kinda shocking as I remember the day he was born as if it was yesterday. We’re having a low key day with some of his friends coming over, then…
