Stuff on a Sunday #19

So I missed last weeks Stuff on a Sunday post, and I genuinely can’t remember what I got up to on Sunday or Monday this week, which is a slight worry really! Tuesday – Athena was at Nursery and as Sam didn’t have work till 3pm we spent the morning having a big clear out and then moving our room…

Recipe: Easy Waffles

So most people have been consuming pancakes in large amounts over the last week, but here in this house it’s been waffles! Sweet ones, savoury ones, ones with bananas and others with just plain old sugar and lemon… with the addition of our newest kitchen gadget the Waffle Maker from Domu making waffles is actually even easier than making pancakes!…

On feeling like this…

  I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, other than the fact I need a kick up the bum or an injection of ‘get up and go’. Sadly the only person that can give me either of those is me. I took the weekend off from blogging, didn’t switch my laptop on and rarely bothered checking any social media… I’m…

Meat Liquor Brighton – not just for carnivores!

Last week I spent an evening gorging myself at Meat Liquor, sadly without the liquor as I’m fairly heavily pregnant! But hey, eating for two meant I could scoff away to my hearts content and not feel guilty. Despite the name Meat Liquor actually does cater for vegetarians and vegans too, and in our party of 5 we had two…

Stylish changing bags big enough for two!

When I look back at the first couple of weeks of having Athena I’m always amused at the fact that I literally just look a travel changing mat, a pack of wipes and a few spare nappies out, tucked into the bottom of her carry cot on the pram. No change of clothes (these were slightly pre the poop explosion…

Pregnancy: Week 32 with baby number two

In the last few weeks I’ve definitely started feeling pregnant at all times rather than just when I try to bend over, and apparently I look more pregnant too as a couple of people have said ‘not long to go now then?’ and other similar things… my last update was at  28 weeks if you wanted to read it. Appointments I’ve not…

JORD wooden watches & win one! [ended]

I’ve not worn a watch since I stopped working full time, which was when Athena arrived. Now I tend to use my phone to check the time when we’re out, which is annoying as then I get sucked in to reading any messages or timelines that have updated. Something I really want to work hard on when the new baby…

Interiors: Soft Furnishings inspiration

As you may have noticed if you read this blog frequently, I like to day dream about home interiors, and put together mood boards, wish lists and various other collections of homey type things… in the hopes that one day money and space will be no object! My current obsession is soft furnishings… it all started when I thought I…

Stuff on Sunday #18

Sunday was a bright but chilly day, and after an early morning chai latte and muffin with Chelle we took a lovely stroll through Brighton and along the seafront, where Athena and Fizz (Chelle’s daughter) played on the pebbles and guilt tripped me into paying for them to go on the car rides! After that I had a quick whizz round…

My tips for travelling abroad when you’re pregnant

Over my two pregnancies I have flown abroad three times. I went to Egypt on our honeymoon at 13 weeks pregnant, then to the Czech Republic at 22 weeks pregnant, and during this pregnancy went to Morocco at 18 weeks. Prague at 22 weeks, so many layers that the bump’s not visible! Both Egypt and Morocco were warm holidays, with…
