Despite the cold, winter days looming around a lot longer than anyone wants I’m starting to make plans for my annual house spring clean. Which usually includes a lot of DIY and interior makeovers projects. With spring just around the corner now is the perfect time to give yourself a fresh interior challenge and give […]

To quickly introduce myself I blog about lifestyle, travel and interiors. Until now interior design has always been my husband’s forte (he’s a pro with a paint brush and transforms people’s homes […]
I’ve loved 2017 so far and wholeheartedly jumped on the positivity/ New Resolutions bandwagon. The chance to shake off all the bad habits developed last year and start afresh. Maternity leave ended for me a few weeks ago so it was a double new beginning. During my nine months off or “holiday” as my husband jokes […]
Jessica Brown blogs about parenting, travel and lifestyle at Jessica Loves and shares her tips with us for taking a baby to Morocco! “Boarding our easyJet flight to Morocco we instantly noticed there were no other children, let alone babies, on board. Hmmm. Both sets of grandparents remained uncharacteristically quiet following our announcement of a […]
Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show your family how much you love them. Spending time together, relaxing and having fun is one of life’s most treasured gifts. Looking after babies and children often means romance is put on the back burner. Juggling family life, work, household chores and bills means quality romantic time is rarely […]
Hello… and festive greetings! How quickly has 2015 whizzed by? I started the year with high hopes of finding my perfect job after leaving the bright lights of London for a chilled-out, suburban Solihull. Somehow I’m finishing the year five-and-a-half months pregnant. I say “somehow”, we all know how that happened! But it’s funny how […]
Camping with a baby takes military-style planning. One morning you’ll wake up in scorching heat, the next it’s freezing cold. If there’s one thing camping can guarantee (apart from endless fun and giggles) it’s unreliable, ever-changing weather. So with this is mind you’ll need to pack clothes for all occasions. You also need to make everything […]

How easy is it to keep the spark alive in your relationship once a baby arrives? I will, quite coyly, admit my husband and I have been sleeping in separate bedrooms since the birth of our daughter last year. Our arrangement wasn’t supposed to last for ten months. The idea started so my husband could get […]

My daughter is nearly 11 months old and I’m currently experimenting with loads of Annabel’s recipes for breakfast, […]
Summer is almost upon us. Which is excruciatingly exciting but also fills me with a faint niggle of fear. I am talking about travelling on a plane with a baby. I’ve spoken to a few new mum friends who are also a tad terrified of this new, unfamiliar travelling-with-a-baby-abroad scenario. It seems we’re not alone. […]
What a difference a month can make… Following my previous Weaning Woes post where my 7-month-old wouldn’t eat any green food – I can quietly rejoice as we’ve turned a corner. My daughter now happily munches away on pretty much everything, even greens. It took us a good three weeks of trying certain foods over […]
It’s been a month of ups and down. I started the month by writing a letter to my 6 month old to celebrate her half birthday. That was a nice moment, which hopefully she’ll enjoy reading in years to come. However, on a downside, this month I’ve learnt weaning isn’t as much fun as the happy […]
