On the first day back to school after the Christmas holidays it wasn’t just an ordinary first day back for our daughter Zara. She had her first day at school for the second time! We made a big decision to transfer to the nearest school which was our 2nd choice school when we did the…
Wow it’s been a very long time since I posted on my blog! We have had a lot going on from birthdays to moving house but I/we are back and settling in nicely in our new home. We were recently gifted this beautiful height chart for the girls from the lovely people over at Memories…
Hey everyone! I remember when I was a little girl my mum used to make me home made play dough and it would keep me entertained for hours. My mum is from the Philippines and when she was younger they had a family business in making Ube, a popular dessert made out of purple yams….
All of that preparation getting ready for Christmas and now it’s been and gone. We are well into January now but still munching on the Christmas chocolate! Sorry diet.

Matchstick Monkey Gift Set £29.95 available on the website and in store in Harrods….
Now that Zara’s old enough to sort of understand birthdays the build up to her birthday and the day itself were so much fun! Things like choosing the cake, asking her what she would like to do on her birthday and telling her who she would be seeing on her special day made her so…
I thought I would write about our breastfeeding journey seeing as it has played a huge part in our lives over the past few years. When I was pregnant with our first baby Zachary, which feels like yesterday but also a whole lifetime ago, I knew I wanted to give breastfeeding a go. As a…
