What’s in my fridge?
So I’ve been tagged by the lovely Clare to reveal what’s in my fridge. This meme was started by Sally who wondered if the contents of her fridge (or lack thereof) meant she was a bad mother. I’m happy to say we have a rather full fridge which is just the way I like it…
Wedding memories
We’re off to a wedding this weekend which reminds me of our own happy day. We first met in 2001 and got married in 2008. I’m not a big fan of weddings. I dislike big social occasions and think I sang at too many weddings whilst a member of the church choir. The £1 I…
Reasons to be cheerful
1. I bought Edward a lovely pair of walking shoes today. He hasn’t noticed he’s wearing them yet which is a good sign as he kept taking the last pair off! As he was such a good boy at the shoe shop (getting his feet measured and walking around the shop in a couple of…

Clarks Seasonal Showcase
Last week we were invited to take a look at the new Clarks Autumn/Winter 2011 collection in a beautiful period house in central London.

Time for a pamper?
Much as I’m enjoying being a full-time mum with it comes the realisation that there’s little opportunity to take sick leave or annual leave. This is a shame as I feel the need to take myself away somewhere and pamper myself! My best friend has just started an exciting new job after months of unemployment…
Review: This book is totally rubbish
We were recently sent a copy of This Book is Totally Rubbish to review. The title made me laugh and actually relates to the fact that the book is filled with eco-friendly activities to do with your children. The book contains lots of activities which can be made using the contents of your recycling bin…
