Clinique Colour Correcting Moisturiser - Review

Not so long ago I received a Clinique colour correcting moisturiser in the post to review. I had requested the Light/Medium shade as whilst I am quite light skinned, I wouldn't consider myself...

Growing Up Cliche

We've all heard and even said all of the old cliches: "They grow up far too fast" "Time goes too quickly" "Where does the time go?" The thing is, they couldn't be more true. This week, it has...

Decorating On A Budget - #roomforimproveme-nt

I've mentioned it before and I will probably mention it again, but the house we currently live in is much smaller than our old house. Even so, we have taken to decorating and rejuvenating this...

Little Miss Green Fingers!

I'm not too sure what's come over me lately. Last week, after a quick trip to Brookfields Garden Centre for a quick look around the aquatic centre (I know, we're obsessed!) I randomly decided to...

Name and Shame

I've mentioned before about how much I love our fish tank. It was an unexpected love, one that has grown with time. I can quite happily sit for hours watching the fish swim about in the tank, going...

Cause you gotta have Faith..

I have absolutely loved reading all of your posts recently about how you decided to name your children. I decided to jump on the bandwagon and relate my story too! Having an unusual name myself,...

Potty Talk

I have never, ever, ever been one of those parents to divulge in my childs toilet habits, but I have found myself becoming increasingly frustrated in the complete lack of 'potty training' in this...

My Life According To...

The lovely Emily over at Family Four Fun has tagged me in this rather interesting and challenging music meme! The aim of the game is to choose one band or artist, and use their song titles to...

Bank Holiday Cocktails

Since becoming a parent, the bank holiday weekend doesn't mean much to me. It used to mean making plans, getting dressed up, meeting friends and usually getting pretty drunk. Now, it's just the...

Spring Cleaning and Karcher

When you hear the word spring, what comes to mind? Blue skies & sunshine? April showers? Lambs and baby ducks? If you're anything like me, the first thing I think about, is cleaning. I know, I...

Walkers Noughts & Crosses

Ever since Princess was younger, I've struggled to find snacks that are healthy for her. Actually, let me rephrase that.. I've struggled to find snacks that are healthy for her, that she will EAT....

Curly Sue

Anyone that knows Princess, will know just what beautiful hair she has. It's full of gorgeous, dark blonde, bouncy curls, it couldn't suit her more. Which is why, when I take her to a hairdressers...

The Squat Challenge Update

I thought I would let you all know how the 30 Day Squat Challenge is going. I will admit, I've cheated a bit. I've not done it everyday like I was going to. But, I have stuck to the amount I was...

The Phone Rage

It's not often I get 'the rage'. Okay, it's actually quite often. There's nothing I love more than getting up on my soapbox and declaring my opinions, good or bad, to anyone and everyone who will...

Time

Time is that one thing that we all need more of, but don't have. Then, when we do have enough of it, we don't know what to do with it. In a sick twist of fate, I know exactly how I need to spend my...

The 30 Day Squat Challenge

If you haven't guessed already, I have absolutely shit will power. My diets are as yo-yo as they can get, exercise happens when I can be arsed (shoulder permitting) and I usually get bored after a...

I've missed you..

Even though I blogged last week, it feels like so much longer since I last sat down and physically wrote a post. I've missed you all, how have you been? I've been fucking hectic, thanks for asking....

Spring Gardening!

Now I may not have mentioned this before.. but I'm excited for Spring. Like.. really excited. I am so, so ready for the sunshine, the warmer weather and the odd April shower. April is probably the...

Renting Vs Buying

When Ross and I decided to move, we had the discussion. You know, the one about whether we would rent or buy. Would it be the best option for us? If it were, how much would it cost? How would we...

Together - The Gallery

If you haven't already guessed from my blog and Twitter feed, I'm feeling very summery at the moment. Every slice of sunshine makes me smile from ear to ear as I eagerly wait for the warmth to...

Tale As Old As Time

This Easter, instead of buying chocolate eggs for Princess, we asked my Mum to get her a Disney DVD. The only ones we currently own are Peter Pan and Beauty & The Beast (my faves!) so we were in...

This is England

I am about to write about something so annoying, I almost want to punch myself in the face as I'm typing the words. Something so British, that we're known worldwide for it. A topic that even as I...

The Gallery - Walks

I haven't joined in with The Gallery in a while, I sort of lost my blogging mojo. But I've decided it's not gonna get me down, and I'm joining back in! The theme this week is: Walks. As a family we...

Manic Music Monday

This week my choice for Manic Music Monday is a song by a band that nobody ever believes I actually like. I'm not a massive fan of rock, but there are certain bands I love, and after hearing the...

There was a little girl, who had a little curl

When I was little, I would try and play with the hair on my Barbie dolls. When I say try, I mean I would brush it and then make some half arsed attempt at putting it into a bobble or a plait. I was...
