In this day and age pretty much everyone I know, from teenagers to pensioners, has a smartphone of some sort or other. We live in a time when it is normal to be able to do EVERYTHING on the go. I, for one, am addicted to my smartphone, it is like an extension of my right hand.… Read more
This week’s gallery theme on Sticky Fingers is “Guilty Pleasures” which is very apt as this weekend saw me indulging in one of my biggest guilty pleasures: themed parties, in particular musical themed parties. That’s right, I’m the person you love to hate, as there is nothing I like more than a 70s disco party (last year’s birthday party), or an 80s party (this weekend’s party).… Read more
Regular readers of my blog may remember me writing about a blog that Hubs and I were working on to do with food, well I’m delighted to announce that www.FranglaiseCooking.com is now live 🙂

You know that feeling, you’ve not had enough sleep, you can feel it, but worse, when you look in the mirror it’s written all over your face. You go on the school run, or drag yourself into work, and every time you get a glimpse of yourself you shudder at how colourless your face is, and how ill and drained you look.… Read more

This blog post is dedicated to my baby brother, A, and his wife of (just over) a week, E.
In August Hubs and I celebrated being husband and wife for a whopping 10 years. I’m still not sure where the time has gone. Since then and especially with my baby brother’s wedding last weekend, I’ve been thinking about our marriage, how it’s changed, how we’ve changed and what I’ve learnt over these 10 years.… Read more
Since C was born (last November) I’ve been feeling a bit bleurgh about the way I look, I know that’s shallow and there are very serious things to worry about but it’s a fact, and seeing as this is my blog I’ll write what concerns me. I turned 37 soon after she was born, and whilst the numbers themselves don’t bother me, what does make me sad is what I see when I look in the mirror.… Read more
It’s taken me a while to write this blog post as this weekend has been so amazing and emotional at the same time. On Saturday my youngest brother got married and it was such an incredible day, night and weekend.
Confetti deluge, coming out of the church
