Unfortunately, these can come at a high price for just a one-time outing, and it can take a and age and an additional unwelcome effort to get ready and then into the car again to drive there. The good news is that the calm, serene setting can easily be re-created in your own bathroom for you to use anytime you would like! Moroccan style bathrooms provide great inspiration. This transformation can range from a larger commitment of a luxury steam shower – a complete revamp of your bathroom – to a simple change of…

What We Did for Summer 2018
This week summer officially ends for me, as Little Miss goes back to school. It’s not the weather, or the light nights, days at the beach or barbecues that define summer for me, it’s having LM off for six whole weeks. At time they feel like they stretch for years, but then it’s over in the blink of an eye and I wonder why I was so worried about them. This was the first summer I truly struggled. I’d always heard mothers in the school yard saying how difficult summer was, filling the long days on little budget but I wasn’t one of those. I love having LM at home,…

3 Ideas for Fun Days Out for Next Spring*
Summer may be over for 2018 and the cold weather is upon us, and as gloomy as that may feel, especially as a parent, lets face it, Spring will roll around in no time. This year I felt so organised.

Food Content // Trying Something New – Cedar Planked Salmon*
It’s been a long summer trying to find meals to cook every single day. Usually 5 days a week LM is at school so that’s one less meal I need to worry about. She alternates between packed lunches and dinners depending on what day it is (I have a hand website I can go to and order for the week ahead) and it’s helped with expanding her taste buds. She’s always willing to try something once, some of the stuff she likes, some she does. This summer we’ve discovered she likes corn on the cob and meaty fish. Both are great and much better than the fact she also discovered…
