10 Reasons Why I Miss Being Pregnant

April 23, 2017

When I first became pregnant I couldn’t wait to grow a bump.  Giving birth to a real baby was a far off destination and I was worry-free and excited for the future.  But it seemed that once the journey got into full swing, pregnancy started […]

Royce Maternity: Floral ‘Florence’ Nursing Bra

January 27, 2017

Maternity lingerie can be too beige.  Don’t get me wrong, beige has its place, it’s fantastic when you want a neutral colour that won’t show through your clothes.  But sometimes neutral, basic colours don’t cut it, and maternity underwear can be guilty of being so niche, […]

Maternity Hosiery: Ambra & Kunert Winter Tights

January 3, 2017

Recently I had the dilemma of needing tights, only I needed maternity hosiery and I was quickly surprised by how difficult this was to get a hold of.  In the end I opted for hold ups – why I hadn’t thought of it sooner, I’ll never know!  It […]

Mamalicious Maternity : Cathy Tikka Coat

December 1, 2016

Good maternity clothing isn’t the easiest to find.  While many of the highstreet fashion stores carry maternity lines, they’re typically quite limited, and I’ll admit I’ve not had the best of luck finding exactly what I want.  Being a winter mummy-to-be means that I not only […]

The clocks will be going back before we know it. 🍂 

Went to the deer park at Studley Royal (Ripon) at the weekend.  Rutting season’s coming so it sounds like Jurassic Park with the bellowing bucks and stags. 🦌 It was a really nice Autumnal day scented with sweet chestnuts and turning leaves; sunny with a cosy cardi on. ☺️

The past few weeks Sean’s car’s been off the r The past few weeks Sean’s car’s been off the road and I’ve been the main driver of the household. It’s been a game changer for getting me up to speed. It’s pushed me to drive, for one 😂. Do the school runs both ways. Shopping. I’m actually enjoying driving again, even though I keep making mistakes. Stalling trying to leave my drive 😂 Parking badly. LOL. It’s been wiping me out too. Crazy how mentally exhausting driving is plus I’m working with the challenges of fibromyalgia and hypermobility pain too. I love my little Suzuki Swift but I’ve started looking at getting a newer version, considering whether an automatic may be the way forward with managing my health conditions. The amount of times my poor knee clicks with the clutch. 😭

Thoughts on an automatic then, folks? 

Oh and enjoy this pic - taken the other day when I’d left the house and was about to get in my car still holding my cup of tea. What a plonker. 😂

Beautiful wedding at the weekend celebrating the m Beautiful wedding at the weekend celebrating the marriage of my sister-in-law Janet and Tony. 💒  As a florist she did her own flowers which were just stunning. 💐 The reception held at The Baltic on Gateshead quayside was filled with the gorgeous scent of the flowers. A really lovely gathering. Wish the whole family could’ve been there, Reuben would’ve looked so cute in a little suit again. It might’ve saved me from the fate of the wine! 🤪 🥂

Rain doesn’t stop play around here 🤪 🌧️ Rain doesn’t stop play around here 🤪 🌧️ 🌈 We’ve put our @englishheritage membership to good use and visited SO MANY places over the summer holiday. There’s been new pop badges released which Reuben has enjoyed collecting ALL of!  He’s also done the various trails which have been fun, and he achieved the coveted 2nd, 4th and 6th visit badges completing his summer ‘passport’. I think he’s chuffed!

So here’s yesterday’s day of play - Helmsley castle. Helmsley was my late Dad’s birthplace and stomping ground. Can’t visit here without feeling that connection. It threw it down with rain before the most glorious rainbow came out. 😌 🌈
