Family fun, parenting, travel, technology… and more
It was half term, we braved the atrocious weather of wind, sleet (! yes! sleet!), rain, single figure temperatures at the end of May(!) and went to the Cotswold Wildlife Park. And it was worth it! The animals have left us with so much to talk about ever since. Max was totally mesmerised by the [...]
I’ve got something exciting for you my dear reader. A dear friend of mine, Marta, has just launched her brand new website and business producing unique handbags. Marta’s handbags are all individually made, with loving attention to the materials chosen, the designs and those little bits of detail that really matter. She is constantly on [...]
At Cybher I missed most of the smoozing with brands because I was too busy enjoying meeting up with old and new friends. At the end though I got talking to one of the ladies just packing up what looked like a combat corner. They were Battlebox. I’m not sure about the army-like image, but [...]

My Dear Littlest, Today you turn one. I am amazed by how this year has flown past. We have crammed so much in and yet seems it has been no time at all! Max, as we call you on this blog,…a most fitting name! You’ve grown from a big baby into an [...]
During the half term we had the pleasure of going to Hertford Camping and Caravanning Club site for the National Camping and Caravanning week (more of that later). On the program was a nature walk led by David Bellamy. The name didn’t mean much to me, not having grown up in the UK. However, my [...]
Another week of my big hairy challenge, where I attempt to loose 18kg or 2 stones in old money just to jump from a plane. Saturday A long day at a blogging conference, Cybher. As I has a very stressful start to the day I gave up worrying about what I ate or drank. Indulged [...]
I’m a month into this gruelling big hairy audacious goal of losing 2 stones in 11 weeks just to jump out of an aeroplane for charity, The Lullaby Trust. Saturday I was very disappointed with my lack of progress in the right direction. Though it is totally understandable, no slimpod will magically make the [...]
What a day! I wake a couple of times during the night thinking I’ve overslept, the last time at 6:44. I close my eyes thinking alarm will go off in 10 minutes. Dadonthebrink wakes with a fright at 7.20am, the time we’re supposed to leave. Within 10 minutes I’m in the car, driving via the [...]
About a month ago I went to a press event for Aldi. It was also a round table for mums and their buyer of baby products, introducing their range and talking about the things they are doing. As Aldi is on the other side of town I probably only go once every 3-4 weeks, [...]
We’ve had a busy weekend and a very packed week ahead. Today I thought we’d go splash in muddy puddles, but then realised we’ll probably have ample opportunity, sadly, in the next few days. The kids have been nagging me to go to the swimming pool, but I can’t go on my own with the [...]
