Modern, Family Lifestyle
Despite having essentially finished the majority of the inside of our house now, bar a few accessories, the garden is still very much a work in progress. I think I’ve mentioned before, but our garden now is quite unusual… it’s very large and long, but is actually tiered on 5 big levels. On 2 of the levels now we have the children’s new climbing frame,
Since moving into our current home, we have gradually been starting to buy what I would call ‘forever’ items- furniture and fittings that are built to last and that we won’t have to replace within a year. Don’t get me wrong, there can be a time and a place for budget furniture (and indeed, much own-budget dependent), but now I’m a ‘proper grown up’ age
Oooh so many lovely things that have happened this week, but first, can we just talk about THAT wedding on Saturday? Whilst I didn’t actually get to hear much of what was going on due to over-excited kids in the background, what I saw was amazing (the dress was just beautiful).

On Thursday our beautiful girl turned 6. She is clearly a ‘birthday person’, having essentially been planning this day and her subsequent party since, oh, JANUARY (and thank god the day finally arrived!). I always remember enjoying my birthday as a kid, but my excitement clearly isn’t a patch on Sasha’s. I was VERY impressed though that she managed to restrain herself from coming into
It’s ironic that I’ve been sitting on this post to write for ages, yet haven’t go going with it because I’ve wanted to be in the right frame of mind and make it a decent one…. Today I’m going to talk about perfectionism and how I’ve found it can hold me back, and what I’ve done to try and counteract it. Despite being an overall
One of the things that I’ve found quite relaxing to do on an evening lately is to ‘cook for fun’. By that I mean to cook some dishes, or try out some recipes, for things that can then be frozen, or for a family tea during that week. There’s something infinitely relaxing about cooking this way post-kids bedtime with some music or the telly on,
