Tea with Mrs C
September 3, 2015 by 60 Comments
Last week I had the pleasure of taking Maggie to her first ever tea with my friend Mrs C, or as I affectionately call her, Boofy. Mrs C is one of my all time favourite people, a wicked sense of humour, as classy as they come and one of the kindest hearts. She adores my girls and Rob and stood in as … [Read more...]

You know what's not helpful when you have a young baby? Comparing said young baby to other babies or thinking about what they "should" be doing.

She's a photographer and a Mum and had her third baby (a beautiful little girl) the day after Maggie was born.

Make your 8 year old fall in love with reading {again}
August 26, 2015 by 39 Comments
Recently Rob and I have noticed that our once keen 8 year old reader Daisy had started getting lazy. She was spending more time watching Merlin, than reading about him.

Wet where you are? It's pissing down here. I wish I could enjoy the rain however whenever it's like this our septic tank doesn't enjoy it and we usually end up with that flooded, a busted pump and unable to wash/use anything inside. It's glamorous. I hope you are dry where you are. Something … [Read more...]

THREE. We're both shocked. That newborn babe has disappeared (my goodness this all goes by too quickly). We've got a little lady on our hands, one who is just about to bust out of all her 0000 jumpsuits that she's lived in since she got home from the hospital. She's got to be the … [Read more...]
