Snuggling in bed with the children.Cooking a huge breakfast of scrambled eggs, baked beans and buttery toast.Feeling rough.Wondering which part of 'I don't have time to be ill' my body doesn't understand.Stocking up on Nurofen Cold & Flu.Drinking tea.Playing in the...
Loveaudrey Bakes: Christmas Muffins
One of the hardest things about trying to juggle caring for 2 children, a part-time job and studying for a Masters is the total lack of time left to indulge in the activities I enjoy. That's why baking-related posts have been somewhat few and far between of...
My Snow Fairies!

I'm in love with Ginger Rogers at the moment. Particularly in this picture. I wish I could wear hats without looking ridiculous. If I could, I'd wear one like this in a minute.OK, so this time next week it'll be Christmas Eve. A Scary thought made even scarier by the...
Wedding Inspiration No. 7 – Envelopes and doilies. Yes… doilies.
Thanks to the magic of Etsy and a particularly talented individual (who I shall of course reveal to you all in due course), our Save The Date cards should be one of the first things to arrive on our doorstep in New Year. The design is very art deco in style and is...
Hanging
Apologies for being somewhat silent on the blogging front over the last few days. I didn't feel like posting over the weekend, I think my brain was too full of university stuff.Audrey has the right idea in this picture, she's exactly where I need to be right now, in...
Up/Down
Going Up... The fella and I ordered our Save The Dates this afternoon and to say I'm a little excited would be a HUGE understatement! Originally, we planned to totally DIY the cards ourselves and had even begun discussing some possible designs with a friend who...
You say that like it’s a bad thing…
I've realised I have some maternal issues when it comes to chopping my son's beautiful blond locks. I just can't bring myself to allow the hairdresser to do more than snip at his fringe. As long as he can see where he's going the rest stays. Personally, I love long...

Sleeping in. Watching Toy Story for the billionth time. Jesse is currently obsessed, the first word out of his mouth when he wakes up is 'Woody'. Missing the kiddlywinks. Locked myself away for most of the weekend in an attempt to stay on top of the studying. Slumming...
Wedding Inspiration No. 6 – Thinking Outside the (Shoe) Box
It probably goes without saying that the aspect of my bridal attire that most excites me is the shoes. I am 100% a shoe girl, I can't resist a pretty pair... whether heels or flats, if I spy a pair I like they usually end up coming home with me! Having said that,...

An Affair to Remember is easily one of my favourite movies of all time, I'd even go so far as to say Top 5. Cary Grant is my idea of heaven and Deborah Kerr is dreamy, so many beautiful costumes... she looks immaculate in every scene. I always, always cry at the end....
Playing Nurse
Stuck indoors playing nurse to my poorly boy today (and no, I don't look anywhere near as glamorous as the medic pictured above). Jesse has hand, foot and mouth disease, a nasty virus that has filled his mouth and covered his little hands and feet with blisters. He's...
An Inappropriate Purchase
No... not that kind of inappropriate. Tsk, tsk, you filthy bloggers ;)So, it's currently freezing here in the UK. Although we still haven't had a single flake of snow down our way, it's certainly colder than my poorly insulated frame can handle. A quick glance at my...

Wondering if I'm the only blogger not currently surrounded by crisp, white snow. Hating the cold but loving how beautiful Devon looks when it's frosty. Avoiding the shops. I can't stand the crowds this time of year. I'll be giving Saturday shopping a miss for a while....
Wedding Inspiration No. 5 – Cocktails
Traditionally, champagne (or Bucks Fizz) is the quintessential 'welcome drink' served post-ceremony to bride, groom and guests. Although we contemplated sipping bubbly (or rather a nice prosecco) from some 1950s style champagne boats (as opposed to flutes) we weren't...
Bleugh!
Still Cute though :)Loveaudrey...
Friday Night Glamour
This picture of Marilyn with her nose in a book seemed rather appropriate considering I'll probably spend most of this evening studying. I have a presentation to prepare for Monday and time is so scarce at weekends that I have no choice but to devote some of my Friday...
Things I’m Loving Right Now…
Ugghhh! I am so tired this evening. I had a tiring shift at work (crazy Christmas shoppers) followed by the usual mad dash across town to collect both of the children. Now that I've manged to get them fed, bathed and snuggled into bed I feel like collapsing on the...

Rita Hayworth looking fabulous. I was inspired by her, my favourite redhead, during my trip to the hairdressers earlier today. My hair is the reddest it's ever been and I love it, which is unusual for me as I tend to leave the salon full of regret. I had a little trim...
