Yorkshire delights and quality time

I TOOK some time off last week. Away from work and the blog (although I still managed to squeeze a few posts in) and what do you know?! It was rather bloomin’ lovely. Elsie, the husband and I had a family day out on Friday to go and see ‘some animals’. Although Elsie kept referring to it as the ‘farm’ it was a little more exciting than that (sorry sheep,

Remembering Hugo & supporting #HugosLegacy

TODAY’S post is dedicated to a special little boy called Hugo. And to his Mummy Leigh – a blogging friend of mine, a courageous mama and a truly inspiring woman. ———- Every so often in life you come across a story or a person who touches your heart and this is very much the case with Leigh and Hugo.

(Photo) Shooting Mums…so they know how fabulous they are

THE other day an email landed in my inbox which made me a little teary eyed. For when I opened the email, I was greeted with beautiful images of two beautiful woman, looking proud, looking happy and looking glorious. Two women who have lived, two women who are larger than life, two women in their sixties who are still as beautiful now as they were many years ago. Both women are

(I know, it’s pathetic right but you just know there will be tears!) When we were moving house and using removal companies to move all of Elsie’s baby things, I knew that Elsie’s nursery would be

A LOVE LETTER TO MUMS, FROM A MUM

TOMORROW is Valentine’s Day. ( I know, I know, I’m sorry but just bear with me…) Anyway in the spirit of sharing some love on the ol’ blog and celebrating the silliest / most romantic / cringeworthy (you choose) day of the year, I’ve decided to break away from romantic love or talk of nookie and instead focus on motherhood. You see, on Tuesday morning, I was invited to speak

ARE WE READY FOR ‘REAL’ BEAUTY?!

MY FACEBOOK page has gone mental over the past 24 hours. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. All because of this image. A powerful image that I decided to share. Yesterday this photograph of Cindy Crawford popped up on my Twitter timeline and it was so brilliant, so brave, so real, I just had to share it with my readers. Because you see this is no ordinary image. Yes

POUTING IN HEELS TURNS 3! (& WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS!)

TODAY is a special day… Because this blog of mine which started as just an online place where I could ramble about stuff and share pretty things, has turned three years old! Admittedly still a young ‘un by all blogging accounts but there’s no doubt about it, it’s growing up fast. The last three years have been incredible. Sure, it’s not all been plain sailing, there have been times when

5 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO SPICE UP YOUR LOVE LIFE

AS a knackered parent getting down and dirty between the sheets is often the very last thing on my mind these days. Most parents will know that life is full on, there’s often very little time for a decent conversation, let alone anything else let’s face it! Then add into the mix;  work, life, house stuff, errands, as well as trying to squeeze in seeing friends and family, and it’s
