The Things I’m Dreaming About Right Now….
My recent attempts at shopping for winter clothes have been far from triumphant, I'm even struggling a little with Christmas present buying this year. I seem to have lost my shopping mojo somewhere in amongst the piles of books and journal articles on my desk. That...
Wedding Inspiration No. 4 – My Hair
Having bought THE dress, my thoughts have now turned to the smaller details of my bridal get-up. I've got my eye on some pretty jewellery on the Queens & Bowl website (although I'm wondering whether studs, necklace and my sparkly headband will be overkill, especially...

No step by step from me tonight. I'll just direct you to the fabulous blog that is The Pink Whisk. Ruth was the runner-up on BBC2's 'The Great British Bake Off' (essential viewing in the Loveaudrey household) and she posts the most salivation-inducing recipes on her...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Sleeping in.Having a snuggle with the children for what felt like the first time in ages.Loving seeing the children with their Grandparents. They all climbed into bed together and caught up on some cuddles as Nanny and Papa hadn't been able to visit since...
Friday Night Glamour
Audrey looks beautiful, relaxed and thoughtful here, don't you think? And the telephone! Don't you just love the telephone? I remember when my parent's had a 'proper' phone. It took ages to dial a number, you had to turn the dial all the way round, wait for it spin...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Listening to the children cough. Damn asthma. Feeling a little blue š Being woken up far too early. Making a mad dash to A&E with a bleeding child. Jesse fell over and cut the inside of his top lip. I have never seen so much blood, apart from maybe in a horror film....
How To Grieve
1. Shock & Denial I wasn't there when my Dad died, the moment that his heart finally stopped beating. I was in my Mum's car, somewhere between West London and Welwyn in Hertfordshire. The roads were empty, it was almost midnight and we were listening to radio for...
Friday Night Glamour
I probably should have tried to post something a little more fireworks related, what with it being the 5th of November, but I need a little Marilyn this evening. Doesn't she look divine in this photo? Sexy but serene somehow.My brain is totally frazzled after an...
Let Them Eat Cake
Most of you will have gathered by now that I have a bit of a thing for cake. Whether we're talking baking, eating or just generally gazing at the yummy deliciousness of cake, I am most definitely a fan. So it will come as no surprise that one of the wedding related...
Loveaudrey Bakes: Ginger Cupcakes with Ginger Fudge Icing
I have to admit that since returning to Uni last month I haven't had as much time to bake as I'd like. Gone are the days of getting back from the school run and pottering about in the kitchen with Izzy for a couple of hours. Still, even if wielding my pinny and my...

Judy looks incredibly glamorous here, don't you agree? This picture also serves as a tiny clue in regards to my choice of Halloween costume this year...This evening will be taken up with a little more uni work, a mountain of housework (we have guests arriving tomorrow...
Up/Down
Going Up... The weekend is almost here, it's so close I can almost touch it. We have friends visisting from London and a whole heap of Halloween fun planned. I can't wait to see Jesse in his costume and dose Izzy up with sugar. Mugs of hot chocolate. Lush Brazened...
Dinner with Loveaudrey: Jack-O-Lantern Soup
We adore Halloween in our house. I'd even go so far as to say that, save perhaps for Christmas, it's our favourite holiday of the year. If you've not been following my little blog for very long do have a look at the fun we had this time last year, you'll find it over...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Getting out of bed at stupid o'clock in order to get an hour and a half of uni work done before the children woke up. Loving my Mum for bringing me a cup of tea. Eating a yummy breakfast with the children and my Mum, Bonus Dad and sister. Praying Jesse wouldn't...
Friday Night Glamour
Another gorgeous pin-up for you ladies. Isn't her boudoir fabulous! I'd love to replace the study desk in the corner of our bedroom for a beautiful vanity table like this one *sigh*I'm so glad Friday has come around again. I'm exhausted and I think I'm coming down...
Pleasure Me Red
My schedule today consisted of nothing more exciting than sitting in the library (attempting) to work my way through a mountain of film studies reading. So, obviously, red lipstick seemed the only appropriate choice of lip apparel. I also sported some winged eye-liner...
Dolly Dagger Dreaming
Mr. LA and I started something of a trend this summer. Within 2 months of our engagement 2 close friends had also announced their plans to get hitched. Funnily enough, despite being the first to have a ring placed on my finger I'll be the last of our little trio to...
FOTD: Up The Amp (to get me over the hump)
It's Wednesday ladies, if we can get through today, if we can get over the hump, then we'll be 2 days closer to the weekend and all that entails. I seem to be in a permanent state of fuzzy headedness at the moment. It's probably part mental exhaustion, part stress,...
Bed Time
Teeth BrushingTime for a storyCuddles with IzzyOccasionally I wonder if the way I sometimes long for bedtime (the children's, not my own... although I often long for that too) makes me a bad mother. The time I have in the evening once I've tucked them in is truly my...
