People are always asking me- how is it with two babies? The answer- amazing, rewarding, exhausting, frustrating. My to-do-list is as long as my arm and seems to get longer rather than shorter. I am lucky enough to have a nanny 3 afternoons a week and am still run off my feet! Here is a typical day for me (when she isn't here)....

Today I finally did what I've been wanting to do for ages - gone back to blonde. I stopped highlighting my hair when I was pregnant and then was determined to completely grow in my natural colour to give my hair a rest from the dye/bleach so I've not touched it in two years. As it turned out my natural colour is pretty...
I may have mentioned in previous posts how crap I am at sticking to beauty routines. This is especially true of evening ones since I'm always so tired I just want to get to bed as quickly as possible. But once in a while it's nice to be able to treat myself and my skin to a mini facial. nspa's Beauty Ritual range...
Is it me or are men’s trousers getting even tighter? So much so that I’m starting to become worried about their ability to father children. Will there be a whole generation missing because of a short-lived fashion trend? It first came to mind while watching those space programmes on Channel 4. Dermot O’Leary was wearing a pair of trousers that really didn’t leave...
Having spent this time last year in Thailand *sobs*, I'll never forget the homeland smell of Jasmine...for all the wrong reasons. I was one of the (un)lucky mothers-to-be who experienced an overwhelming sense of smell, to the point I wanted to knock out colleagues (this was a given anyway, wasn't sure if it was hormones or the perfume issue). Beautiful floral scents in...

The Grobag The GroCompany call themselves 'safer sleep' specialists and I have to agree, they do a great job. The original baby sleeping bag launched in 2000, the Grobag, is well-made and safe. It is far superior to cheaper copies in many ways. My fave features are: Fits a 5 point harness, so can be used in car seats or buggies. (Great for...
Mothers are the world’s greatest multi-taskers, and are usually juggling a million things every day, with no time for or thought for themselves. A tired Mum deserves a treat now and then, and Mother's Day is the perfect time to do it. When it comes to new mums, often the baby's father will buy his partner a gift on behalf of their young...
