We have just returned from a (pre-holiday season) break by the sea, which means that we have more reserves to face the rest of the year (well, all six weeks of it) & all the visitors that we’ll be entertaining over for the festive season.

WILL THE ‘NEW NORMAL’ PLEASE STAND UP?
I can still remember very clearly: sitting in the ante-natal class hearing all about how (post-birth) you will eventually find the ‘New Normal’.

Welcome to my latest edition of #InternetInspo! I have a little card (framed &) on my desk that reads: “Why on earth do you want to be like everyone else?” It sounds obvious, but it’s worth reminding ourselves every now & then why we are unique.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF (BABY) SHOWERS
I am totally in love with the ‘cloud’ theme for baby showers & baby rooms at the moment. It works so well for a gender neutral baby shower with endless ideas for decor, eats & gifts.
