Up/Down
Going Up... I had the most amazing evening at the cinema on Thursday. I'd been looking forward to a screening of the 1929 silent film Pandora's Box starring the incomparable Louise Brooks at the local art centre for what felt like ages and it certainly didn't...
The thoughts I think when I look at your picture…
You were crazy young when I was born. Not really, I mean you were older than we were when Izzy came along, but you kind of looked like a school boy. All wide-eyed and innocent.Not enough men have beards these days. Proper full manly beards, that prickle when they hug...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Feeling pretty rough. I've been ignoring the bad cough and chest pain that's been plaguing me for the last 6 weeks but I think I'm going to have to finally admit that I'm not well and take myself off to the doctor tomorrow. My wisdom teeth have also been giving me...

The Perfect Shower ~ A Tale In Reviews
My alarm goes off at 6am. It's one of those irritating ones on a mobile phone. The kind that is so shrill the only way you'll ever wake is with a start and an uncomfortable feeling of confused horror.I could sleep later but I enjoy the peace that waking before the...
Happy Birthday Jesse!
My little man is 2 today.It's such a cliche, but I honestly don't know where the last 24 months have gone. I'm still getting used to the fact that we've well and truly waved goodbye to the baby years and taken up the challenge that is parenting a toddler.Happy...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Being woken up by the children a little earlier than I would have liked. Madly tidying the house in preparation for a toddler invasion.Doing some last minute baking. I make mini chocolate orange muffins at every birthday party and they always prove very...
Cake ~ To Infinity and Beyond
Yesterday we celebrated Jesse's 2nd birthday a couple of days early with a Toy Story party. Three of his friends from nursery came over to eat lots of cake and frolic in the ball pond. Much fun was had by all and we spent most of the evening scraping the children off...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Slipping into my pretty dress and pink shoes {in the toilets of the Holiday Inn in Cheltenham no less. I am all class.} Dress: Coast, Shoes: Dune, Bag and gold feather necklace: Accessorize. I feel the shoes deserve a close-up. I'm wearing Chanel Nouvelle Vague (LE)...
Up/Down
Half term treats Slurp! Apparently the best Strawberry milkshake Izzy has ever tasted. Next time you're in Exeter you should head to my favourite vegetarian restaurant Herbies and see for yourself. My babies on a walk to the quay. They look so alike in this picture!...
FOTD: MAC Hibiscus
Here's some simple Sunday make-up that showcases one of the newest additions to my ever growing collection of lipstick.I had the urge to purchase some lippy a few weeks back and asked the twitter universe if there was anything in particular they thought I should...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Being woken up far too early {two days in a row}. Enjoying an omelette for breakfast. It's Mr LA's speciality of late. Loving MAC Face & Body foundation. Wearing MAC Lustering lipstick and very little else in the way of make-up. Taking the train to the countryside...
Kitchen: Recipes From the Heart of the Home ~ A Review
I'm just going to come right out and admit it... I'm a complete Nigellaphile. I love the woman. Actually, I should probably qualify this statement somewhat. I love her books. I can do without the ridiculous finger licking and hair flicking that she does on television,...
Products I’m using Right Now
I haven't done one of these in aaaaaages. In fact the most recent I can find is from April of last year! I'm really enjoying some of the bits and pieces I'm using to beautify myself with at the moment so I figure I may as well share... Shampoo: Still loving Kerastase...
Happy Birthday to Loveaudrey
Despite my melancholy mood I couldn't let today pass without pausing to celebrate the fact that my little space on the Internet is 2 years old today.It's hard to believe that a whole 24 months has passed since I sat at my dining room table, very heavily pregnant with...
There Are No Words
It is so hard to write a sympathy card. I like words. They allow you to express your innermost feelings, distill your thoughts and emotions. Unload, vent, purge. But in the first few days after someone has passed, the darkest and bleakest of all the days that will...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Taking the train to Brighton. Hugging my Mum and my baby sister. Eating {too much} curry at the most amazing vegetarian Indian restaurant, Planet India. The samosas were the best I've ever tasted. Waking up full of excitement, with butterflies in my stomach. Having a...
To whom it may concern,
If you have the power, and if it's not too much trouble, please ensure I wake up tomorrow morning feeling miraculously better.Please get rid of all this vomiting and the exhaustion and the dizziness. Let me get out of bed without feeling as if I'm going to pass...
Dinner with Loveaudrey: Green Pea and Butternut Squash Curry
A little more 'smug' food for you this evening. You know it's my favourite kind... delicious and filling but oh so healthy, you simply can't help but feel a little smug after you polish off a plateful.You see, only good things can come from this...According to the...
