This morning was an unexpected one. To be perfectly honest, having had my work clinic cancelled due to too few patients, I had kind of scheduled in a hiding-under-the-duvet-day. But yesterday you threw up at nursery. Just a little but you were pale enough to worry them enough to send you home. I was in Bristol, sorry darling, but Daddy came to get you. And, thankfully, although today you are completely fine you are on the dreaded 48 hour nursery ban. So now, today, it is just me and you. I love this time. It is only since your brother started ...
The art of surprise….(or lack of)
Those following my Instagram feed may have noticed that Mr B and I have recently returned from a few days away in Rome. This was a particularly special trip as Mr B turned the grand old age of 40. Was it a surprise trip? No. I have been banned from booking surprise trips. Many years ago, and with an anniversary nearing, I decided to treat us to a last minute holiday. I spent hours scouring the internet until I found the perfect resort, Dubrovnik. Having never visited Croatia before, and Mr B the same, I was immediately taken with the beautiful coastlines, the old historic town and ...

Amazing Kids Furniture From Sue Ryder Online
I am sure many of you will be familiar with Sue Ryder and the incredible work that they do providing hospice and neurological care for so many facing a frightening and often life-changing diagnosis. I am also sure that many of you are familiar with their shops in high streets across the country. You may have even donated to them yourself. But how many of you knew they also have an online store? I didn't. I was recently approached by them and offered the chance to review an item of furniture from this incredible Sue Ryder online store and I was utterly taken aback by the ...

Nestled within a tranquil corner of a highly prestigious location and surrounded by tasteful, ornamental and timeless architecture these plots are sure to sell very fast so do not delay.

Teaching Your Little Ones How to Manage Money
It doesn’t seem like two minutes ago that I was holding my little ones in my arms for the first time and, although I would love them to stay small forever, I am under no illusion that they are going to grow up so quickly that I’ll wonder where the time has gone! It’s true what they say - time really does fly when you’re having fun! I love being a mum. I can honestly say that it is the loveliest and most rewarding job in the world but, since my little ones have found their voices, I have encountered that dreaded stage of parenthood when the only words that seem to come out of my little ones’ ...
A Whole New World…
With The Boy now at 'big school' we are embracing a new era as a family. He could not have made it any easier for us. He has literally run inside each and every day. There have been no tears, no tantrums, no clinging to our legs and each night he leaves proudly clutching his book bag and eager to do his homework. I'm so proud of him. With school though also comes a new minefield for me to manoeuvre my way through-birthday parties. Up until now birthday parties for the smalls have only ever really involved family members and the odd neighbour. This year The ...

Hi, My Name is JB and I am a…
Hi, my name is JB and I am an obsessive compulsive...of sorts. Or perhaps I am just a neat-freak. Or maybe just a little odd. On arriving in the kitchen this morning I was faced with a sight that made me growl. Actually growl, out loud. The washing up sponge had once again been left perched midway between the two sinks instead of the obvious 'this is where I should sit, I am the perfect size/shape/everything-gap' above the left sink. I turn around to find Mr B grinning. "You know I hate that." "I know. But it's funny." It ...
