    Advice for my Daughter, Part 1

    June 3, 2014 /

    I mentioned in my last post that I have been part of a conversation with another eight girls for over three weeks now. We have chatted on going, popping in when we can and it’s been a complete rollercoaster of emotions as we share stories about life, love, sex, relationships, work and fan girled out about a range of subjects. Some of you may caught some of it on Twitter when we occasionally take our conversations public like our crazy game of Kiss, Marry, Kill with characters from Game of Thrones! Anyway, one particular evening some of the girls were telling me about dreadful stories and how they’d over come…

    Shopping Spotlight – The Princess and the Frock

    April 25, 2014 /

    In case you’re new to the blog, or you have been living under a rock, I announced the other week that I’m taking Little Miss to Disneyland Paris next month with my mum. I’m so excited for our first holiday abroad together and like with every trip I take, everything is planned from where we’re going to go on what day down to what is in my toiletry bag and how many pull ups Little Miss needs! So as a belated Easter gift, I treated Little Miss to a very special dress to wear on the day dedicated to the Disneyland park. I first heard of The Princess and the…

    The Tale of the Little Easter Bunny

    April 20, 2014 /

    This week my nephew decided to take it upon himself to make Easter a person, much like Santa Claus. Both he and Little Miss have been telling everyone that “Easter is coming with eggs” so I decided to take it upon myself to make Easter into a person for Little Miss. I’m not religious but due to having a Catholic upbringing I do observe the holidays. Our household is very much an agnostic apathetic area and I do intend to bring my daughter up that way. Christmas is about family and Easter is.. about chocolate of course! At Christmas, Santa Claus is the bringer of goodies, at Easter it’s… you…

    We Have Something To Tell You….

    April 9, 2014 /

    Little Miss & I have something to tell you all. I’m sure most of you can guess from the above photo if you don’t know already but I have had to keep it quiet for what feels like forever. Now I can finally share with all my loyal readers, not only a cute photo of my daughter (because I’m feeling rebellious after the day past week I’ve had) but some incredibly exciting news for us; Disneyland Paris, that is (although I look forward to the day I can announce I’m going back to my homeland of Disney World..) ANYWAY, yes. I have had a holiday booked for Little Miss, my…

    Easter Crafting for Kids with Hobbycraft

    April 4, 2014 /

    Easter Craft Pack c/o Hobby Craft Felt Bunny Baskets c/o Hobby Craft Little Miss insisted we donate the blue one to her cousin. Not because blue is for boys, but because pink is her favourite colour.     As I mentioned in my blog post about activities to keep your children busy over Easter, crafting was one of my suggestions. This was based on the fact I had this Easter activity kit hidden away to do on some rainy afternoon, and that rainy afternoon ended up being today. Hobbycraft kindly sent me some bits and pieces from their Easter range, these along with some stuff I’d also picked up from…

    #ChristmasJumperDay 2013

    December 13, 2013 /

    If you’re not feeling remotely festive yet, I’d probably question your mentality slightly. This is my second Christmas as a mother though and I can no longer remember what it’s like to work right through December and not have Santa on the TV screen from the 1st November. Not that I mind. I’ve always enjoyed Christmas up until three years ago.. then I was ill.. followed by being pregnant and living with the worst person in the world and then last year, single mother with an under one year old.. HOWEVER, finally I feel like I’m getting back into my past festive ways. Tree up on the 25th November, Christmas…
