So for those who are new to this blog, I started the Fast Diet to help me to lose my baby weight (and become healthier with promises of protection from heart disease, diabetes and cancer) and succeeded in completing 11 weeks of the diet before having a 5 week well earned break.
The Executive Shaving Company offered to send my bearded husband Peter a Luxury Beard and Moustache Trimming Kit for Father's Day and it came at just the right time as his beard was definitely in need of a trim and greater definition.
Nomita is from India but grew up in Prague, Hong-Kong, London, New York, Delhi and Mumbai. An ex-advertising girl turned full time mum and blogger, Nomita now lives in London with her husband and daughter.
She is very passionate about beautiful design and writes a blog about non-mainstream style and design for kids.
Being creative can be hard work. Hard to get the words onto the screen for that next draft, hard to get the confidence to write the book, launch the blog, heck even write that funny tweet. Creatives are riddled with self doubt. Fact.
We are all super excited (particularly Oliver who has his Trunki full of his favourite things already packed) for our upcoming summer holiday at the end of June to Portugal. Not able to fly when pregnant after an acute water infection at 18 weeks last year, due to needing regular tests and being someone uncomfortable flying when pregnant anyway, we holidayed in beautiful Wales rather than going abroad. We're going away for another long weekend by the Yorkshire coast in the half term then will spend two weeks in the Algarve.
As Alexander has suddenly outgrown his crib, it's time for the big cot and as with Oliver we bought a Cot bed, this time a Lucia Cot/ Toddler bed from Mamas & Papas which we love. Mamas and Papas kindly sent us their Sleepfresh Natural Mattress, Size 400 Cot/Bed (£185) which fits the cot, for review.
My husband Peter is a genius behind the camera and works professionally alongside his career in IT. You can check out his stills for sale on iStockphoto here.
I promise to bring you the best of fashion finds as I source them, be it from PR samples to good old retail therapy. I can hear my husband heavy breathing as I type, but it's my duty to you fashionistas, right! Hehe!
It's May and it's raining...again. Like many parents out there, we find it a struggle to keep the kids entertained when the weather's cold and blustery outside. Not another soft play I hear you cry. I'm with you on that, there's only so many slides and ball pits I can cushion my tush on. Ouch.
My gorgeous and oh so glam-'can you believe she's 50' Aunty Zak flew in from Marbella where she and her husband Chris live, to celebrate her 50th in Leeds with all her closest family and friends. And boy was it a Big Glam Greek 50th!
A day out at Diggerland- not my usual idea of a fun weekend I'll be honest with you...I love getting outside with the kids though, to parks, farms, country walks and weekends away on the coast but not usually driving diggers. How wrong could I be? I probably had more fun than my 3 year old.
As well as being a blogger and founder of this here blog, I'm also an award-winning filmmaker and mother of two. I'm honoured to be taking part in the Mamas & Papas' Urbo campaign alongside Edith Bowman, Charlie Condou and Cherry Healy, giving an account of life as a working parent and my views on celebrating modern parenting.
Hot on the yummy mummy Jimmy Choo heels (make that Uggs) of Skills Babies Give You-They're Good Like That comes unsolicited toddler skills you acquire the minute those babies turn into freaking, speaking, tantrumming toddler children. Oh joy!
