Francesco Group Bournemouth – Review
It has been a very long time coming but I finally dragged my tired, straggly, thinning hair to the hairdressers! When an email popped into my blog-box asking if I wanted to review the newly rebranded Francesco Salon in Bournemouth, I jumped at the chance. You see, what they don’t tell you (along with many other […]

Sebastian, 8 Months Old
I’m not sure how we’ve got here, but Seb is now 8 months old! First things first, Seb has nailed the whole “sleeping through the night” thing and I don’t think I’ve ever felt so ALIVE in all my life. I am also back at work 2 days a week and Seb is in nursery, […]

BabyBjörn Highchair
I can’t quite believe that this little boy is 6 months old already! Time is flying and things are getting way more fun with this little fella every single day! A few months ago the lovely people at BabyBjörn kindly sent me one of their highchairs to review and after giving it a real good test […]

Bedroom Inspiration
Pictures via Pinterest It’s approaching our 1st year anniversary in our first home and I can hardly believe it. I had so many plans for this house when we bought it last year but things came to a bit of a halt when we found out about little Sebastian! Instead of our oak floors, we […]

Sandbanks in Autumn
It is days like this that I am so thankful to call this beautiful place home. It brings a little tear to my eye to think that I will be bringing up Sebastian in a place that I love so much and have such fond memories of from when I was little. I remember my parents would […]

Christmas Hampers
One of my favourite gifts to give (and receive) are hampers. I’ve been making them for years for family and friends and always love the idea that you can gift something that they wouldn’t normally treat themselves to. This year however, things are going to be a little different with Sebastian around, so when Harvey Nichols […]

Alpenfraulein, The Pug Mug
I have a little confession to make. I love mugs. I have mugs in a multitude of colours, designs and sizes and they are really starting to take over my kitchen! Good job they get a lot of use these days! When I was recently contacted by Alpenfraulein, designers of four illustrations which have been cleverly placed on hand crafted […]

My Little All Black
Yesterday was the first day of the Autumn International’s, as all you rugby fans out there will know, and England faced the mighty All Blacks!

Little Butterfly
Once your little baby has arrived into the world, everyone will tell you what you should and shouldn’t use on your babies skin. As with everything baby related, it really is trial and error to see what you babies skin likes. I have always gone for more gentle products on Sebastians skin and as I declared […]

The Pumpkin Patch
Autumn is well and truly here and thank goodness. I’m not sure about you but I was getting pretty sick of that warm weather in October. I mean, I can barely dress myself in that weather let alone a 12 week old baby! Yesterday we went to our local Pumpkin Patch to choose a pumpkin […]

Birth Announcement Cards
We received so many wonderful cards and gifts from around the world that I really wanted to send a special thank you in return. My brother (who is an amateur photographer) came over one afternoon when Sebastian was a few weeks old and we sat in our bay window with the sun beaming in on us […]

Story Of Your Home
Last December after nearly 5 years of renting, we finally purchased our first house. A beautiful Victorian styled house built in the 1900’s with a large garden, a garage and still within walking distance of the beach. Almost a year on, a lot has changed! Firstly the biggest change of all is the surprise arrival […]

Breastfeeding, My Experience
One thing I am extremely passionate about is breastfeeding. With my Mum being a midwife, it’s been built into my brain that “breast is best” and I was just determined to do it. “It is the most natural thing for you and your baby” I bloody wish. One thing is for sure, breastfeeding is one […]

Lucy Tidbury

Totally awesome gift I know, and I couldn’t have be more excited for her to get started! Lucy is a local artist who’s work ranges from paintings of rubbish… […]
