Is George Clooney Greek and Other Important Questions

April 12, 2013
So ab fab subscribers and followers aside (i.e. my 500 strong Big Fat Greek Family), other folks often find my blog through search engines and I've been laughing my Kardashian-esque backside off at what's been entered into Google and the like recently to bring you to this here blog. You ready?

No Judgement

April 8, 2013
Chatting to some other Mummy friends today, we recalled how judgmental we were before babies. You've done it. I've done it. We've all done and bought the judgmental t-shirt.

A Happy Easter

March 31, 2013
You know those days which simply reaffirm what life is all about? Those days that as you live them in real time they form your 'happy place'. So far, this Easter weekend has been filled with days I know we will reflect on in years to come as 'those were the days'.

An Investment Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in Black Soft Gold Grainy Print

March 27, 2013
Like most women, I adore beautifully made hand bags and shoes. They can transform an outfit and instantly reflect who you are or how you feel that day. What's more, bag and shoe shopping do not rely on a certain body size or shape and suit everyone. Last week I decided to treat myself to an investment Mulberry bag.

5 Fab Easter Gift Alternatives to Chocolate

March 26, 2013
The joy of Easter only comes round once a year and it’s the next exciting holiday for children after Christmas. Unfortunately, if you’re a parent you may know only too well that it can be chocolate galore, which is fab for a child, but not so much fun for their health, their teeth, and their bedtime routine.

Boy’s Got Style!

March 25, 2013
I love it when friends comment on how stylish they think my little boys are because let's face it, boy's fashion gets a lot of stick.

Taking two out of three of my children (the other Taking two out of three of my children (the other had different term times and football commitments so couldn’t make either weeks, and my husband was working) as well as my maman, we enjoyed art, culture, exquisite food, shopping and sightseeing of course together (bonjour La Tour Eiffel) in a nourishing ‘week’, clocking up an average of 20k steps a day (without complaint, miraculously) in the stunning city of lights!

We thankfully missed the riots but did see some of the aftermath with designer shops being boarded up and some smashed-up shop fronts. We didn’t feel unsafe however and felt lucky to not have experienced anything troubling during our stay. We left before the second scheduled riot. Now, let me begin by stating that Paris is not only child-friendly but child-centered with bistros, fine-dining restaurants, art galleries and shops welcoming children with open arms. Everyone we met from shop assistants and waiters, receptionists in the hotel, to those working in the airport, referred to Florence as a princess and directed conversation to her before us! The Parisians were always kind and affable, and we experienced excellent service everywhere we went! Dix points! In just 20 images, I share my tips if you’re considering a trip to Paris.
