N’s never been a fan of swimming on his back. He obviously hasn’t yet twigged how much easier and less effort it is to swim on your back compared with on your front. That’s something I established quite early on…
We all have them. However many hints you drop, or wish lists you provide, there’s always an unwanted gift or two amongst a households Christmas presents. Unless of course, you’re the type of person who’s grateful for a miles too…
As a mum, it’s not often that I get a chance to go shopping for myself and treat myself to something really special. A lot of the time I’m either shopping for N, or trying to rush in some shopping…
As I mentioned before, it’s been a while since I did any crocheting, and have never really followed patterns before so am very much getting back into it and having to relearn stitches. I had started a basic blanket, but…
I’d not come across this before (can’t believe how I missed out hearing about it!), but we went pizza making at Pizza Express for our team’s work Christmas lunch. If you’re looking for something a bit different for a party…

I’ve just recently got back into crotcheting again. My mum had wanted to make a blanket for the hospice she’s been looked after in so I’d bought her wool, but then found that she wasn’t going to be able to…
While I love N in shorts and t-shirts, I love it when the weather turns and we can get all the stripy jumpers out of his drawers. With lots of navy, burgundy and denim on the bottom half, it’s nice…
