Hi folks, I’m really enjoying writing these Christmas posts, Christmas is ‘my thing’, I just love it all so much. I hope you’re finding them useful too and as always, let me know if you have any other requests. Today though, I want to talk to you about getting a bargain with your Christmas shopping […]
How I Organise Christmas
Hi folks, I know a lot of people still feel like it’s too early to start talking about the big ‘C’, but I genuinely think it’s never too early to make a start on preparations. Especially if you have a family and or are hosting on the big day itself. This year I’m hosting my […]
Cake Popsicles
Hi Folks, Let me tell you, lots of people have been asking me about my cakes, how I make them, whether I’ll be doing tutorials etc. And the honest answer is: I want to, it’s definitely in my plan, but with three children things just don’t always happen as often as I’d like. I love […]
Tractor Party
Well last year was all about the diggers so it seemed only fair that this year was all about the tractors. We’re talking about William’s party of course! And I actually loved this party set-up, as I had to get all creative. There is a severe lack of tractor party supplies out there (in the […]

Dear William
Dear William, Wow, my little boy is 3! You’ve grown up so much recently, maybe it’s because you’ve just started pre-school but you’ve gone from being a toddler to a little boy overnight! The thing that describes you best is your sense of fun; you’re always up for a laugh, always trying to make those […]
Dear Imogen…
I’ve started this post a thousand times, and I just can’t seem to find the right words to begin. So maybe I should start at the beginning. In some ways your pregnancy was the easiest, in other ways it challenged me in different ways I hadn’t experienced before. Unlike with Lydia and William I didn’t […]
Potty Training
I think I may have discovered my least favourite parenting job thus far: potty training. There’s no quick fix and it can be all encompassing, and that’s tough. I wanted to palm it off on someone else, for them to deal with it, but that’s not really how motherhood works is it?! So I was […]
Being a NICU Parent – our neonatal journey
When you are pregnant, I don’t think anyone ever expects there to be a problem: you get the elusive positive pregnancy test and immediately you visualise sleepy newborns, beautiful nurseries and if you’re anything like me, you’ve already mentally test-driven several prams. No one expects, or wants to think about, an alternative scenario. Not least, […]
A Troll Themed 5th Birthday
I’ve almost neglected this little blog over the summer. It’s not been far from my mind but I’ve just been too busy with the children to actually get anything written and up. But I did want to share with you a party we threw for our little girl when she turned five at the end […]
Dear Lydia…
I wanted a way to capture life at this very moment; the days surrounding Lydia’s 5th birthday. So I’ve decided to write little blog entries on the children’s birthdays so that in time I can look back and hopefully be able to re-live these very special moments. Dear Lydia, Our wonderful ‘baby’ girl, you’re turning […]
