London can be really difficult to navigate, can’t it? Moving your possessions around is difficult because of the heavy traffic, parking shortages, and crowded areas. A man with a van service can sort that out. Be it a single piece of furniture or a few boxes, these removal services are perfect for smaller moves. But…
One of the only things we haven’t yet unpacked is our pictures. Our walls are pretty bare but we both think it’s so important to get right that we’re not in a hurry. I’m the first to admit I’m not very artistic. I didn’t enjoy my Art lessons at school, in fact, I actively tried…
So far we’ve only discovered one problem with our lovely new house. The previous occupants took all the blinds with them when they moved. They were perfectly entitled to do this but it has left us feeling a little ‘exposed’ to our neighbours, especially in the evenings. Today we ventured to the local high street….
My sister is moving to the country cottage of her dreams this weekend. When we visited a couple of weekends ago we drove out to see it and it is lovely, a typical ancient cottage and it even had a stable door for the front door with roses growing around it! We thought we would…
So far this year has been unusually busy. We’ve sold our house and bought a new one so fingers crossed everything will go smoothly and in a couple of months we’ll be happily installed in our new home. To celebrate finally having an offer accepted we decided to have a lovely family day today. The…

I’m finding house hunting quite stressful. It feels like I’m scouring the internet daily to see if any new houses are on the market, often at the expense of giving the children my full attention. The other day I was on the phone to an estate agent when Little Sis began choking on a crisp….
It’s official! We’ve sold our lovely Edwardian cottage. Over the last few months we’ve been busy de-cluttering, painting, building walls and hiding as much as possible in the shed(s). Our house was on the market for a week, is now off the market, and we’re ready for a new adventure in a different part of…
I’m so glad we’re back in our ‘normal’ routine – as normal as life can be with a baby and toddler. The little man is back at his school twice a week which means I get a couple of hours with the baby. We’ve just started going to a weekly music class and it is…
