Bournemouth Christmas Market 

So, Christmas isn’t officially in town until the Christmas market comes along. Thankfully, it’s now here and making Bournemouth town centre look all festive for shopping trips.     Although I’ve finished my Christmas shopping, I’m never one to turn down a trip into town so when my mum said she needed some bits, Cameron and I went along. In the end I actually bought a dress for a Christmas party...

Home Workout

So yesterday, after a yummy Sunday roast cooked by my mum, my sister and I dragged ourselves off the sofa and into our exercise gear only to arrive at the gym to find out we had the class time wrong and we had missed it.     After getting round to finally booking our gym induction for the following Sunday, we went back to my mum’s and decided to turn to...

Pampering Treat 

As Carly’s birthday treat last weekend didn’t exactly go to plan and I only saw her for a few hours on her actual birthday, when I had some time alone with her yesterday I decided to treat us both and we went and had our nails done at a local salon.     I know this isn’t something everyone will agree with but it’s not hurting anyone and Carly absolutely loved...

Cameron’s Very First Parents’ Evening

This was...

Those who are still planning on going are saying how worried they are for their trip.  This saddens me. We were in Disneyland on Friday...

Carly Turns 3 

I feel like I’ve been telling people Carly’s almost or nearly three for ages now. She has a brilliant vocabulary for her age and such a strong character. Everyone always says how hilarious she is, especially at nursery where she is apparently the boss, despite being one of the younger children there.     As Carly had been with me in Paris for the weekend (where we were originally spending 3...

Thoughts and Prayers from Disneyland Paris 

I was originally planning this post to be written on my return to the UK following a lovely family weekend in Disneyland Paris including at least half a dozen selfies by our favourite rides. Instead, I am currently in our hotel room, just outside of Disneyland, approximately 40 minutes from central Paris where we have been most of today following the terror attacks in Paris last night.  To say we...
