Prestige Flowers Luxury Valentine’s Day Range – Review
I love flowers and like any lady love receiving flowers, however I rarely get bought any. So when Prestige Flowers kindly sent me a beautiful bouquet from their luxury range I was very excited. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and you may be thinking of gifts for a loved one, you can’t go wrong with vibrant red roses.…
Coping with Croup
Before I had children I had never heard of Croup, in fact I hadn’t experienced it as a mother until Amelie was around 22 months old. Croup is a condition that affects the windpipe, the voice box and airways to the lungs. When children get croup they have a distinctive barking cough that sounds a bit like a seal, they…
Caketoppers Personalised Cupcakes – Review
Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Wednesdays, it really doesn’t matter – I love cake on any occasion. So I was very excited to be sent a couple of fantastic personalised cupcakes to review. As it was Amelie’s 5th birthday this week I thought what better way to celebrate than with personalised birthday cupcakes, what 5 year old wouldn’t love a…
Amelie’s Birth Story
It’s been 84 years… (Titanic reference, sorry but that still makes me giggle), just kidding although that’s what it felt like. It was Saturday 21st January 2012, I was overdue by 8 days, I woke up around 7.30am with back ache and tummy cramps. Being pregnant for the first time I had read all the books out there, attended antenatal…
Winter Sea Air

So I decided to get the waterproofs out of the cupboard along with wellies and hats and venture to the Exmouth beach for some fresh sea air.…
Munchkin Miracle 360 Sippy Cup – My Thoughts
During the whole 5 years of being a mum I have struggled with one major issue – finding a sippy cup that does not leak! I have tried every sippy cup/bottle on the market I think. I know I am not alone in this never ending search as it is probably the most talked about subject between any group of…
Throw Back Thursday
As Amelie’s 5th birthday is just days away I’m feeling a bit emosh, I’m one of those sad mums that looks back through photos of her children when they have gone to bed. It never gets old and it is one of my favourite things to do, I cannot believe how quick time flies. I thought I would share some photos…
Kayla Itsines 12 Week Bikini Body Guide – My Thoughts
Being a stay at home mum of 2 young children my time is dedicated to them. My day revolves around school runs, errands, housework and playgroups. Ever since Amelie was born I had started working out seriously at home. In the last five years I have started at the bottom and worked my fitness levels up to where I am…
My Week – Chit Chat
The one thing I really love about blogging is that you are able to get everything you’ve been thinking off your chest and it is not aimed at anyone in particular. I know most people will find my chit chat boring and I know it isn’t really relevant whatsoever but having this window of white to type whatever you like feels liberating,…
