So these past couple of months have been emotionally and physically draining. May was a busy month for weddings – 7 in total if you count the 1st of June! This is the busiest I have ever been and there are so many weddings still coming up this year which I am looking forward to. …
10 Years!
Well, doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun! It’s been 10 years since we got married – today is our anniversary. We met in London in 2003 and got married on the 4th of April 2009 in Barnstaple. We’ve had our ups, our downs, our tired and emotional moments, our happy and relaxing times – …
Mega Break
We’ve had a really good Christmas break and a long one too for me. I took holiday from work to match Elliot at school and he went back on Wednesday! The break started with a trip to Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park. It was a superb time away and one we had mentioned to …

Festive ups and downs
Well the Christmas tree came down on Tuesday much to our kids disappointment (but they helped mummy take it down really well). Christmas is kind of over, although I’m pretty sure the official 12 days aren’t finished yet, it’s still good to get the space back in the living room! We had a great Christmas, …
Truth telling
We LOVE Christmas in this house. We don’t have decorations hanging in every room, but there is a now at least a Christmas tree adorning our living room which was decorated by the kids yesterday. We went to B&M’s to get a few more decorations specifically chosen by the kids – it makes things a …
Isle of Wight Holiday
As promised, a review of our recent holiday to the Isle of Wight where we stayed in the rather luxurious looking TriBeCa caravan at Whitcliff Bay Holiday Park.
