I love shoes, so as you can imagine I love buying shoes too. The only problem I have is that I have very fussy feet. They are not easy to please! I guess I got this from my mother as she has this problem too. I have often bought very pretty shoes and stylish shoes [...]

Looking back to when my daughters were born, especially the first months, I still can’t believe how I survived. Having a baby isn’t easy at all! With Bella, my eldest, things were harder because she was my first and I was in another country far from my family. I felt lost. Although I had my mother with me for [...]

Now that Sienna is getting older, we are starting to enjoy family board games even more. She understands better what a game means and she loves being part of it with us.

There’s much focus on exercising and eating a healthy diet, but nowhere near as much on exercising your brain and keeping your mind active and alert. However, it’s equally, if not more, important as we get older. Exercising your brain helps reduce your stress levels, look after your mental health, and cut your chances of [...]

We travel a lot by car. We’re often visiting family in the Midlands or the Cotswolds which can be a 2 or 3-hour drive. Add to this our holidays and trips for the blog, as well as day to day use, it means having our car in road working order is essential for us, especially [...]

A few months ago I wrote about starting a 12 week treatment of TRX2. I explained that my hair is in good condition but I was looking forward to trying TRX2 to help keep my hair shiny, strong and thicker. I don’t have problems with hair loss, just the small amount lost whilst showerering. It’s [...]

We were invited to review the restaurant at the refurbished Red Lion in Barnet, North London which is now part of the Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery chain. It isn’t far from where we live in North West London. It took about 20 minutes to get there. We decided to go for Sunday lunch because they [...]

I am not very good at cooking. I honestly don’t think it’s for me so I am very grateful to my hubby who does like cooking. Having said that, he can’t cook all the time, so I don’t have a problem admitting that we buy a lot of frozen meals for the week. It is convenient, practical, quick, [...]

We were invited to Flip Out Trampoline Park in Brent Cross which has recently opened at this location (the building was a cinema previously). We have visited indoor trampoline parks with the kids before so we have an idea of what to expect but I have to admit that when we arrived we couldn’t believe how big this [...]
