I’ve now completed week 3, which I’m pleased to report wasn’t as cold and wintery as I’d expected. This week has been pretty uneventful, in terms of training. On Tuesday I did 4 miles. On Wednesday I did 30 minutes of kettlebells and didn’t ache at all the next day,…

My captured moment is from a couple of weeks back when Oscar turned 6. He had his birthday party at Pizza Express, which was brilliant. What struck me with these photos is how grown up he looks. It made me realise that he’s no longer a little baby boy anymore.…

We’ve always loved to travel. Before kids, we went on lots of amazing holidays and created so many amazing memories. New York, Hawaii, California, Vail, the Caribbean, Dubai, Hong Kong and Thailand are just a few of the places we visited. After kids, we’ve still managed to do a fair…

As you might be aware, in April I will be running the London Marathon – eeekkk! It’s my first marathon ever, so I’m feeling slightly (ok, very) nervous. Me being me, I need to follow a strict training programme so that I know in my mind that I will be…

A little bit later than usual with this, but we’ve only just returned from a lovely week in Orlando, so catching up with work, washing and removing the Christmas decs and getting over jet lag has meant I’ve been a bit short of time! As it is for most people,…

I haven’t been had my hair done in a salon for years, probably about 16 if I think back. I’ve always tended to use mobile hairdressers as it just seems more convenient. However, I’ve recently been hearing lots of fantastic things about a salon based on the other side of…

It’s almost here, only two more sleeps to go! This year it feels like the run up to Christmas has lasted forever. I think this is probably due to the retailers promoting it so early. I like Christmas but find the run up a bit intense and tiring! Christmas burnout…
