Last Week Do you ever find that when there is something happening to you, you notice similar events, topics, emotions everywhere you go? That was me last week. It was a tough week, parent wise and I was so glad to have conversations, often with strangers where all parties involved were saying 'my kids are … Continue reading Last Week
Italy
Italy With a six month old It feels like a lifetime ago that I was in Italy especially because this piece has been sitting in my draft folder for six months and even more so because Lucille has changed so much since our trip. And of course we have since travelled to the other side … Continue reading Italy
2019
2019 Can I still say Happy New Year? I realise we are at the beginning of February but Happy New Year! I’m slightly late to the party but better late than never.

Grief, sunshine and no wifi

A bit of a last-minute trip, mostly because Mr B and I couldn't decide … Continue reading Grief, sunshine and no wifi
Wish List

The Backpack Dilemma
The Backpack Dilemma I have struggled for some time now with seeing backpacks in mainstream fashion. I’m a firm believer that just because something is in fashion does not make it fashionable and backpacks definitely fall into that category.
