This week marks a new milestone in my pregnancy – I’m 28 weeks and officially into the 3rd trimester!  Although I’m struggling with pre-exisiting health conditions coming back to haunt me and pelvic pain forcing me onto crutches, I am lucky enough to be otherwise enjoying […]

Cake Maternity ‘Apricot Sorbet’ Plus Size Bra

November 29, 2016

My maternity journey is proving to be the most transformative season of my life, right after puberty.  If not only for the scarily impending responsibility motherhood will soon heap onto my shoulders, but the constant daily change I’m seeing in my body as I head toward that goal. […]

Hotmilk Lure Pink Flexiwire Nursing Bra

October 9, 2016

Maternity lingerie can be a case of ‘needs must’.  Not everyone relishes the idea of wearing it with many women reluctantly choosing the pregnancy bra out of necessity.  So, it’s fair to say maternity bras have a poor reputation for being frumpy and ugly. But, regular […]

The Pound Shop Bra: Full Bust Friend of Foe?

September 14, 2016

I have to admit, back when I was watching the Poundshop Wars tv series it had me scoffing at the idea of a pound bra.   I was already decided, there was no way such a cheap bra could be any good, not for a fuller […]

The first trimester of pregnancy is a thrilling time.  You go from independent woman to mummy-to-be in the flash of a pee stick and your life is turned up on its heels in a whirlwind of baby-gros, your days spent dreaming about your future new family life amidst […]

Royce Maternity: Candy Blossom Nursing Bra

August 30, 2016

Wearing a bra to bed is something I never do.  Once I’m in those PJs it’s a bra-free zone, and it’s generally a liberating feeling.  But since becoming pregnant my boobs have taken on a mind of their own; whipping off the day’s bra is now […]

Freya ‘Pure’ Moulded Nursing Bra

August 17, 2015

I never gave maternity lingerie much of a thought before I became pregnant.  I knew it existed but I couldn’t quantify from first hand experience how important and, really quite necessary, a good fitting maternity bra is. So when I found myself needing a maternity bra, […]

Yes, Miscarriage is Something We Should Talk About

August 12, 2015

Since the day we learned we lost our baby, it seems all we see is babies.  When you’ve gone from being a first time expectant parent to grieving the premature loss of your baby, you notice all the adverts with babies in, every single passing pushchair and […]

So… I’m Pregnant! (Now what?!)

July 12, 2015

They say you shouldn’t tell anyone for 3 months, so there goes that plan out of the window.  I was barely past 6 weeks when my doctor performed the test confirming my status quo: I’m pregnant!  I only came off the Pill back in March, deciding it […]

“Christmas morning” me is “every day of the “Christmas morning” me is “every day of the Christmas holidays” me.  Dressing gown + scoffing = the good life. 😄 🎄

We found an über festive cake shop. 🍰 Full on We found an über festive cake shop. 🍰  Full on Christmas vibes and seriously good patisserie delights! 🤤 

We decided to go to church’s second Christmas special service over in Barnard Castle and had a little time beforehand for a bit of shopping and go for a hot chocolate. And cakes too it transpired. Reuben chose a Bounty cake, Sean went for an apricot and mango cake and I got the fun (and yummy) Rudolph eclair.  It’s nice to find new little gems. 😊

Is everyone managing to find moments to chill out this crazy week? 🎄

Well this week was fun! 🤩 ✨ I won a night out Well this week was fun! 🤩 ✨ I won a night out to see the Royal Northern Sinfonia at the Glasshouse (formerly the Sage) in Gateshead followed by a stay at @innside_by_melia_uk hotel across the Tyne on Newcastle’s side of the quayside.  So that’s what we did! 

The Christmas concert was presented by tv’s Matt Baker and was AMAZING. The orchestra and choirs were so good. My favourite pieces were the Polar Express suite (the instrumental What Christmas Means to Me is so precious), Troika! They played Troika! (LONGtime fave) Loved that there was some John Rutter and the singalong songs were so fun. Honestly, goosebumps were out. 

It was fun and games with our hotel stay though, because we almost didn’t have our bed for the night! 😱 Turned out the hotel room hadn’t been booked for us and we were technically on the streets with our suitcases. Actual nightmare. And we ended up with no time for dinner so we didn’t eat until nearly midnight, trekking up into the toon in my heels, in the rain, almost crying. LOL. (Love a bit of drama me 😆) Luckily the hotel had a cancellation and our night was saved. The room was super nice and the bed was insanely comfy. Followed it up with the first ‘Spoons breakfast of my life and I was impressed. So we had a lot of fun this week. Oh and Reuben ended up scoring the last day of school off because of car trouble. Happy Christmas Chaos! 🤪🤣

Took us all the way up to Belsay Hall in Northumberland to find the big old man and a fabulous vintage treat it was. Parlour games, wooden toys and lots of extravagant festive decoration.

Day out at Beamish on Saturday which was the best day of the weekend. Mostly bright and not too cold. Spent our time round the 1900s pit village where we got hot cheese and onion pasties and sausage rolls from the sinkers bait cabin and went to school. Looked in the toy shop and played in the park at the 50s area, surprised by a passing Father Christmas in a horse drawn carriage. Reuben loved the bank and seeing the old money in the 1800s town (which the bank teller didn’t seem to be amused with for some grumpy reason). Listened a little to the visiting Prudhoe brass band and just enjoyed a little rambling mooch. Didn’t feel *as festive* as previous years but a cute day out all the same. 🎄
Christmas lights switch on in Richmond on Friday n Christmas lights switch on in Richmond on Friday night marked a Christmassy weekend.  Even though the “big tree” was decorated a week ago, we decorated the house a bit more with garlands and paper chains and I’ve done a couple more little trees. Still not yet finished though! 

Hope everyone’s enjoying bringing the festivities into the home. 🎄
