Sea Life Blackpool We are no strangers to Sea Life Blackpool and you may remember us Vlogging one of our trips from a couple of years ago. You can check it out here. Harry loves David Attenborough so a trip to Sea Life Blackpool is always top of his list to do on school holidays. This was Charley’s 3rd time to Sea Life Blackpool as…

  It’s pretty much coming up to 2 years since I decided to quit my corporate career and set up my own Social Media Consultancy.  Building an empire has taken all my time & energy but I haven’t come this far, to only come this far. You may have seen on Instagram that I have been having quite a lot of coffee meetings with other…

  I have shopped at ALDI for over 5 years but apart from buying eye makeup remover, I have never used any of ALDI’s  Skincare range. It was only on a visit 4 weeks ago I noticed the Healthy Glow Toner and remembered seeing an article in Marie Clare about how great it was. You will all know I am very much a Body Shop…

You may have seen a particular style of shoe wedged to my feet in the last few weeks. I have a new-found love of Castañer espadrilles, so much so I seem to have started a collection. Dating back to 1927 Castañer espadrilles became popular in the 1970s when Lorenzo and Isabel Castañer attending a trade fair in Paris. They met a young French man who…

  So here we are nearly 3 years down the line and in many ways, my little old blog has changed my life. It kept me sane in the  dark days of postnatal depression,  allowed me to share the highs and lows of motherhood and support other mums & dads in my position. My blog has given me a new career, a chance to build…

Coral Island is Blackpool’s largest indoor free admission family attraction. With 4 different restaurants, indoor rides, arcade games, a casino, bingo and my personal favourite the Camel…

  Ivy Asia Last weekend I was lucky enough to escape from the family and take a shopping trip to Manchester. No shopping trip is complete without a posh lunch and you don’t get much posher than the Ivy. I had tried to book a table online a couple of weeks ago without any luck, but a quick call on the morning to see if…

Mum’s Favorite Accessory: A Wooden Watch by JORD Time is something us mum’s wish we had more of. More time to complete the endless pile of washing, spend more time with the kids, heck, just to sit down with a brew and spend some time relaxing would be great. Working for myself I must be very disciplined with my time. As the saying does ‘Time is…

From the second Charley was born I knew she was special. A beautiful baby girl who could light up the sky, just like a rainbow. We didn’t know it then but she had decided to pop out a little earlier than she should have done and when at 3 weeks old she stopped breathing & fell critically ill that rainbow came crashing down. What followed…
