A few days ago I was standing in the subway with Rob when I said "I feel like (but of course I felt like!) I need some gold high tops from NY" and he probs rolled his eyes but then said "yeah you do". So it came as no surprise a few days later when I found myself rushing into a sports store a few … [Read more...]

I feel like…
April 3, 2017 by 6 Comments
One of my favourite expressions that I have heard EVERYONE saying since we arrived is "I feel like". Whether its been walking down the street and listening to people talking or on the subway people having in depth conversations everyone is feeling like something. I can't stop saying it myself pretty … [Read more...]
Saturday in the city
April 2, 2017 by 5 Comments
Yesterday we checked out of our hotel and moved a little further uptown to The Arlo NoMad. The weather was FOUL, it actually was sleeting when we left The Ludlow and so when we arrived at our new hotel and waited to check in, we found ourselves perched in the bar for many hours. By the time we got … [Read more...]

Well you drink lots of coffee, and you hit the ground running despite the rain and jet lag. It's New York. You visit some favourite places. When it's too wet, you hit the subway. Then a quick costume change before a lunch at Balthazar for some spectacular people watching and … [Read more...]
Can’t sleep, will blog
March 27, 2017 by 19 Comments
I woke up about 2 hours ago from the sound of a siren, or something and it felt like Christmas morning. New York. We're in New York! I tossed and turned, I jealously watched Rob sleeping soundly next to me, I knew I shouldn't grab my phone but I did and 2 hours later, I have given up. It looks … [Read more...]

Can you hear the sound of my deep breath? We're on our way. Well kind of. The girls are safe and happy with my Mum and Step Dad at home. There were many tears of course, but mainly due to the anticipation of all to come. Now that the bandaid has been ripped off and we are gone, we can all get on … [Read more...]

A sponsored post for Glaucoma Aware How seriously do you take the health of your eyes? I know for many people, it’s at the very bottom of the list of things we have to keep on top of.

Being married for 12 years
March 20, 2017 by 47 Comments
This Sunday Rob and I would have been married for 12 years. Huh. While that wedding and life of doing whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted seems like a REALLY long time ago now and has been replaced with never ending planning, and noise and CHILDREN, it's been one hell of a whirlwind.

Rainy weeks and goldfish brain
March 17, 2017 by 20 Comments
This morning I layed in bed and truly believed for about 20 minutes that today was Saturday. It was deeply disappointing when I realised it was 7.15am and that we had to run around for School. Anyone else feeling a bit like this at the moment? On Monday I picked some flowers in my sister's garden … [Read more...]
Little kid, big concert
March 15, 2017 by 37 Comments
I think I was in year one, so what? 6 or 7 years old when I went to my first ever "proper" concert. Mum's Uncle (who was married to Aunty June) had a connection with the Entertainment Centre so there were always free tickets for family, and we usually snapped them up. I remember so clearly getting … [Read more...]
The joy of setting a table
March 14, 2017 by 9 Comments
Ever since I was a little girl I loved to pop a flower in a vase and put it in my room. Perhaps on my bedside table, or in the bathroom, a little flower just showed that you cared, and I always loved to see a bloom on show. Rightly so in full view for everyone to enjoy! Not much has changed all … [Read more...]

March 9, 2017 by 24 Comments
Besides my cranky pants (which I never seem to take off) I thought I would share some of the pants that I wear day in, day out. My uniform if you will.
