With Halloween fast approaching, we’ve been having fun reading the latest Parragon Book Buddies instalment, Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere written by Smiriti Prasadam-Halls and Lorena Alvarez. The book follows four trick-or-treaters on their Halloween journey and on every page they find pumpkins everywhere! The pages are brimming with beautiful colours and gorgeous illustrations and the front […]
I wrote the parenting edition of this post a few weeks ago now and it went down an absolute treat – even my Mum text to tell me how much she’d enjoyed reading it! And so here I am, back with the next instalment, which probably should have been the first topic wise – but […]
So the #Dechox came to an end. After 28 days of resisting all of the tastiest chocolate delights, I was finally allowed to eat it! And I literally couldn’t wait. Would I wake up on Friday morning and have chocolate for breakfast like I thought I might? Well no, I wouldn’t. Despite thinking that I […]
Dear Oscar, I usually save these letters for birthdays or half yearers. But I feel like the last few days there has been a massive shift in you, and it’s one I want to remember. One that is important. One that needs to be documented. You see, you and I. It’s like we are one. […]
Since Oscar stopped rugby, I have been taking Zach to swimming myself. It saves Oscar having to sit around waiting, and it saves any confusion of him thinking he’s got a class. It also gives Daddy the chance to have some one to one time with his littlest man. So up we got (after I […]
It’s the February half term break. It’s not my first set of school holidays – Zach is in Year 1 so I have done all of this before. It’s only a week off so I didn’t feel like I needed to fill it with exciting things – I’ll save that for the longer Easter ones. […]
I started this little blog almost five years ago now (OK, it’ll be five years in June but that will fly round). It started as a place to air my thoughts and frustrations of being a working Mum, it turned into a real document of our family, and a place where I hoped that many […]

I don’t know about you, but we have so many toys. Like so many toys. I am generally a hoarder of everything and really struggle to part with things, but in particular I struggle to let go of the kids clothes and the kids toys. Even when it is clearly evident that we don’t need […]
It’s that time of year when no-one really knows how to dress. Every day I walk outside the front door and decide at that point whether I need my Winter coat or just my hoodie. Depending on what time of day it is generally depends which option I choose. At the moment, the mornings are […]
I can’t actually believe that in just 365 days, I will become Mrs P! We got engaged just under a year and a half ago in January 2018, and then in the March we booked the date. With it being more than two years away, it felt like a lifetime. And yet here we are, […]
If you have come solely looking for practical advice on what I need as a parent on a daily basis, I am afraid that you aren’t going to find it in this post. Sorry! However, if you are looking for solace in the things that get you through each day – you are totes in […]
