Mummy Mondays – Ending our Breastfeeding Journey at 19 Months

I first planned to write this post on our return from Mexico back in April. Having been away from Benjamin for ten days, I figured that my body would have stopped producing milk, and that Benjamin would have stopped being interested in feeding from me by the time I returned. It turns out neither of those things happened. In fact, when Benjamin and I were reunited, it was like no...

5 Things to Do on Your Next Visit to Newcastle

Learning New Skills with Parley Golf Centre

Last Friday I was invited along to Parley Golf Centre for a little introduction to golf session with some of the other local bloggers in the area. Although a few members of my family are keen golfers, and Ed and his parents also enjoy the sport, I have never properly been on a golf course before and didn’t overly know what to expect from the day. I went along with...

Preparing for our Forever Home with Posterlounge

Something very exciting happened last week. Ed was offered a full time position at the school he’s been doing his teacher training at. This means that hopefully, before long, we will be in a position where we will be able to sell his flat and buy our own family home. You may have read previous posts where I talked about making plans for when we move and, when Posterlounge offered...

Beauty – My Makeover at DFMA Makeup Bar

On Saturday I was invited along to the newly opened DFMA Makeup Bar in Westbourne for a professional makeover. DFMA are predominantly a makeup academy with courses across the country, but they have opened their doors in Westbourne to provide professional makeup for all. I had originally been planning on going out after having my makeup done, but as we had gone out the night before, I just had a...
