Turning 30 is a huge milestone for a lot of people. For me it seems to be almost passing me by. I’m turning 30 on Sunday (25th September) and it’s going to be a very low key affair. Last year I thought my 30th birthday would be huge. It also marks a whole decade since […]
On Saturday my phone broke. Sob. At first I was just annoyed, it’s such an inconvenience. I was hoping to not buy one until after the wedding in March. What was really annoying was that I was trying to find the postcode for the Roman Baths Museum in Welwyn. We were already in the car […]
During the summer holiday’s my sister-in-law (Aunty M) has been staying with us. Her parents are renovating their house and there isn’t a great deal of space for her, so we’ve had an extra mouth to feed. The extra mouth is also vegetarian! So while I’m normally meal planning like a pro it has taken […]
Since Oliver started preschool I’ve had to be a little bit more sociable myself. I’ve suffered with school gate anxiety since before he started. On the one hand I was excited that there would be a group of adults that I would be in regular contact with. On the other hand there would be a group […]
One of the problems with being a parent is that you’re thrown in to this role as not yourself but your child’s mummy/daddy. Nobody asks what your name is when they meet you, they ask your child’s name. You become known as “Oliver’s mummy”, “Will’s Daddy” etc. Eventually it reaches a point where it feels rude […]
**This post contains some affiliate links** I recently took on the #feneticchallenge for Fenetic Wellbeing to see how accessible my local town centre was. Being friends with Martyn from ‘Inside Martyn’s Thoughts‘ who has Muscular Dystrophy and therefore limited mobility I have recently become more aware of the inaccessibility of a lot of places. In June we […]
The lovely people over at Kidloland offered us a one year subscription to their app in response for a review. As it’s the holidays and Oliver will no doubt get bored on rainy days or in the car I figured it would be great. The app is aimed at age 0-5, so toddlers & pre-school […]
I’ve always had an interest in yoga. I’m not sure what has drawn me to it, but it’s always been in the back of my mind. I’ve read a lot on how yoga benefits mental health, maybe that’s it. When Oliver started preschool I decided that now was my time so I had a look […]
The lovely people over at Bespoke & Oak heard that I’m planning my wedding and asked if I’d like to review something from their range. Obviously I said yes. When I browsed their site there were so many things I wanted but quite a few were out of our price range. Having splurged on our venue the […]
I would like to introduce you to the newest members of the UEM family – Ziva and Tali! When the kittens arrived they were very shy. We got them from somebody who had saved them from being kept in a tiny box in a shed. They hadn’t had a great deal of socialisation so were […]
