Wedding dress – 10 years on

On the 2nd August Hubs and I will have been married for 10 years. However we will be on holiday en famille then, making it hard to celebrate just the two of us. Enter our saviours, my mum and dad, who came to stay and look after the girls yesterday so that we could go out.… Read more

Ergobaby review

I hadn’t really planned on reviewing the Ergobaby carrier, but after using it for Race for Life at the weekend, and after the huge amount of questions I got about it following my Race for Life blog post I decided that I should share my view of it.

I actually went out. For a date night.

Hubs and I used to go out once a week. We were so smug. We had a child yet we still managed to frequently go out for a date night. To the cinema, out for dinner, for a stroll around the tourist attractions of London if the weather was good. We didn’t question it.… Read more
