Dressing up for Halloween

This year he has his heart set on a Dracula costume, luckily Asda has a great range of fancy dress for all ages, including the Count, so Joe will get his Halloween wish. Last year, we were…

There were also picnics in the park to make the most of the lovely weather and late night snacks after full days out. Basically, the old mealtime routine was nowhere to be seen. But now school is back,…

Dreaming of London Living
Last week, the hubby and I spent a couple of really lovely days in London. We ate out, enjoyed a fabulous gig, and did a little bit of shopping, and just basically enjoyed all our capital city has to offer. I must admit it got me feeling a little wistful, because, before Joe was born, we had seriously considered moving to the capital, in fact, we had gone as far as applying for jobs, and I had lined up two jobs. Then, on the day that an interview for my dream job had dropped onto the mat, I found out that I was going to have a baby, and all…
