Poor Athena has been really under the weather for a while now, first with a nasty nappy rash that needed special cream to treat it and then with a nasty bug that left her off food and drink for two days and included a lovely sick-in-the-car incident that was pleasant for nobody! So when a gorgeous new 3.5 tog baby…
What is more festive than a baby dressed up as a penguin? Not much! We were very kindly sent a penguin outfit from Time to Dress Up, who have a huge array of dressing up costumes! It took us a little while to decide what to pick, but anyone who knows me knows I love penguins, so that…
This week has been a write off. I didn’t do a Stuff on a Sunday post last week because the Athena had been sick the day before, and still was on Sunday, joined by me on Sunday evening… and i’m still feeling awful now a week later. I’ve never had a sickness bug this long before, and it doesn’t help…
I feel like I’ve been ill for the last month non stop. First the abscess, then poor Athena was quite ill with a bug which I caught, then recovered from for a day and then re-caught (either from her or from Sam) Luckily baby seems to be fine and is wriggling around lots, and finally this week Sam’s manage to…
I love mugs, the type you drink tea out of rather than people who will believe anything… here are a few I’ve spotted on my internet trawling’s! Perfect as stocking fillers, or for secret Santa’s you don’t know very well! All the images link to retailers… I think my favourite is the heart mug where the pattern appears when the…
I’ve finally started making our home feel festive! I feel like the world has started putting up their decorations earlier than normal this year, I spied a couple of trees on my instagram feed in November would you believe? Anyway, what with all the illnesses we’ve been enduring, and the miserableness of Sam being in a car accident (nothing…
A Christmas tradition for us is visiting a festive market or display of some kind (last year it was Winter Wonderland) and top of this years list is visiting the Christmas Arcade at Somerset House in London, which is a pop-up version of Fortnum & Masons flagship store! Overlooking the stunning skating rink it is a gorgeously decorated and…
In my opinion females are easier to buy than most other categories of people for so instead I have put together a little collection of things for expectant mums, seeing as I am one, which can be given all year round not just at Christmas obviously! Images link to retailers. A nice set of underwear will make any woman…
To be completely honest i’m sure Athena would be perfectly happy with a large box with lots of little boxes inside all wrapped up for her to open and play around with, and we definitely won’t be going overboard for with her presents this year because she still has a lot of toys she doesn’t play with much yet, but…
I love Brighton, and know I have a lot of Brighton based readers so I thought that putting together a Brighton specific gift guide might be a good idea! I’ve taken a look through a lot of my favourite online stores and put together a selection of things I’d love to get or to give to someone! All pictures link…
Last year Sam did Movember properly, that is he ended the month looking like this: This year he decided against doing that (hurrah!) and decided instead to just maintain his beard and ‘tache, then at the end of the month get rid of the ‘tache completely, preferring to keep his beard because he looks like an overgrown teenager with a…
Last night the laptop stayed off, I had a nice weekend full of people and friends and family and decided to just chill out when I got home last night, so this Stuff on a Sunday post is a day late, oh well! Last week was pretty much a write off in most ways anyway, I can’t actually remember…
