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…

Feeling a little less stressed thanks to Baldwins
This week saw the wonderful school holiday come to an end. I have honestly had so much fun with Joe, spending time on beaches, in parks and just generally having the best time. But if I said that I wasn’t feeling tired and just a little stressed at the moment, I would be telling fibs. Because I am tired. And run down. And most definitely in need of a pick me up. Working from home means that I have no need to source childcare for Joe, which is great. But it also means I’m trying to work whilst caring for a five year old who needs constant stimulation, and that…

Made in Chelsea is back
Made is Chelsea is back. Yes, my absolute fave reality docu-soap/drama (delete as applicable because I’m never really sure what it is) is back on E4 tonight, and I have to admit to being more than a little excited. I don’t know what it is about Made in Chelsea that keeps me enthralled and coming back for more, it might be the tangled love life of the odious, yet strangely compelling Spencer Matthews, or maybe it is the fact that my best friend used to live in that part of London and I become slightly obsessed with the Kings Road and surrounding areas, so now love to spot them on…

Selfridges Destination Christmas
Even in the realms of Christmas in July events, there is always something super special about Selfridges Christmas in July. For fans of the festive season, it is truly destination Christmas. Held in the industrial confines of the Old Selfridges Hotel, this years event had snow, a giant Polar Bear, a Kate Spade pop up shop and some of the most mouth-watering gorgeous food treats I have ever tasted. There were also William and Kate Christmas cards, dancing pigs from Giffords Circus, a Tatty Devine ‘make your own bracelet’ stand and so much more… The one thing I always love about Selfridges Christmas events are the range of items that…

Britmums Live – My first experience
I was incredibly lucky this weekend as I was able to attend my first ever Britmums Live conference. I was fortunate in that I had sponsorship for this event from fab fashion brand Kaleidoscope, without which I could not have attended, and I am pleased to say that it was every bit as good as I thought it would be. Here are just some of the reasons why. 1. The opportunity to meet with brands and their representatives was both useful and illuminating. From Butlins to Warner Bros, by way of fashion from TK Maxx, books from Paragon and Waterstones and children’s products from Tu and Little Ones from Sainsburys.…
