SEEING as my blog is one year old this week, I thought I’d kick off my new ‘Friday Five’ series with my five most popular blog posts. It’s always interesting to see which of my posts get the best reaction and the biggest response. In the main though I’ve found that they are generally the ones that cover women’s issues, many of which I’ve written from a personal perspective. So
IF the idea of Valentine’s Day makes you want to run for the hills, I urge you to hear me out. Just this once. Call me a silly old romantic fool, but I adore Valentine’s Day. Yes it’s completely commercialised and even a bit naff, but take away all the crap and all the clutter, and what you’re left with is something rather wonderful I think. Today is a day
My little blog is one year old! I cannot quite believe it! The last 12 months have been very eventful on a personal level. Those of you who visit this blog will know that I gave birth to my amazing daughter Elsie Florence back in July. I also moved house (with a seven week old baby!) just a few months after so in all honesty I’m amazed to be sat

I thought I’d write to you, to let you know, that YOU have been the best year of my life to date. Admittedly, 1996 and 2008 were pretty special
With just a few days to go before the big day, it’s safe to say that we’re beginning to feel rather festive in the Portman household. I’ve always loved Christmas, but this year I am ridiculously excited, as it’ll be Elsie’s first Christmas and our first as a family. All of which means it’s going to be extra special. When it comes to Christmas decorations, in the past, the Husband
To be clear, I’m not pouting in it really… but, this month you can catch me and my beautiful little lady in the December issue of Pregnancy & Birth magazine. In it I share Elsie’s birth story and talk about my experience of going over my due date. There are a couple of reasons why I decided to talk about something so personal. Firstly, I thought it would be a lovely
I love a good piece of jewellery. In fact, I adore my new Cath Kidston necklace so much, I just had to share it with you all. Purchased on ASOS a few weeks ago, this tiny pendant necklace isn’t the most impressive or flashiest item of jewellery I own, but it’s now one of my most favourite pieces.
