Summer holiday season has arrived! In the run up to our summer holiday, I always end up buying quite a few new bits to take on holiday. For me, having new holiday clothes is all part of the holiday fun (any excuse!). I’m particularly loving this season’s styles, so I have…

Tomorrow is the twins’ last day at pre-school and I’m feeling very sad. They attend a lovely little village pre-school and have done since they were two. Oscar also attended when he was younger. It’s such a lovely caring place. The staff are brilliant and really go the extra mile…

Since running the London Marathon last year I’ve kinda been struggling a bit with running. I lost all motivation and passion. I think once the pressure was off and I no longer had to follow such a strict training plan, I just found it all a bit pointless. Don’t get…

In February, we decorated our spare room for Henry, so that the twins could each have their own bedroom. And although he seems to float between his new room, Oscar’s room and the room he used to share with Heidi, I think it’s time to update their old room to…

Funny how it takes us getting organised for our next holiday to give me the kick up the bum to post about our last one! At the end of November, we went on a Caribbean Disney Cruise as part of my Mum’s 70th birthday celebrations. We have cruised with Disney…
