School holidays seem to come round more often than I ever anticipated and as soon as H returns to school, she seems to break up again! I’m fortunate enough to say that work is flexible so when H is off, I can fill our days with activities. On the most part, we are creatures of…
Think of the ideal man – who comes to mind? Sean Connery as James Bond? Brad Pitt in Fight Club? Or perhaps Clint Eastwood as the all-American action hero? What these images have in common are a certain type of maleness – one that is repeated in Hollywood movies, in T.V. dramas ,and in men’s…

Who knew I liked Taiwanese? I mean, I certainly didn’t until I stepped foot into Baby Bao with one of my girl friend’s last month. Discovering new eateries is always something I enjoy, especially when the menu offers so much choice to even the most difficult of eaters. Originally born in Brighton, Baby Bao made…
Cyprus may be a 5 hour flight away and I was dubious about this distance at first, but it really did prove to be a wonderful destination for a long weekend soaking up the sun and winding down with the family. I was a little anxious about travelling off peak at first but was left…

The Langham Hotel, London has always been a special place to me – for those of you who read my previous article on our Langham staycation, you’ll know why. In short, it was a place of fond childhood memories and I always vowed that when I was older, I’d be able to share those memories…
Ayla has been a wonderful support to Mamazou since the beginning and we were so lucky to catch up with her to learn more about her motherhood story… How did your parenting journey start? My first contractions began the day after New Year’s Day 2014. Like many first-time moms, I assumed labour would be relatively…
The vast destruction of our planet Earth is probably scaring you as much as it is frightening me. Every day we see pictures of oceans filled with plastic, starving polar bears, and destroyed rainforests, amongst others, and it can honestly feel like whatever we do won’t really help anymore.
But it will! If each of us makes a consistent effort to make a few small changes in our lives we can collectively make a huge difference. And teaching our kids how to be conscious of their waste and how it affects the planet from an early age is very important too.
“start a child on the right road and even in old age he will not leave it…” At a time when mental health is the buzzword, where schools employ Counsellors, in this absurdly competitive environment, I have come to one conclusion. Whatever else is going on let us all be aware of the well-being of…
If you are like me you probably just assumed that all cancer research funding was equally divided based on need. Unfortunately this is not true at all. Approximately 1 in 285 children will be diagnosed with cancer in the US before the age of 20, with the average age being 6 years old.

If you had told me a car park tunnel at a Sainsbury’s supermarket in Bude, Cornwall was a no.1 tourist attraction on Tripadvisor and then was going to be one of the longest tunnels of Christmas lights in Europe this year, I would never have believed it. But, turns out it’s true and it looks…
I can count how many times it has rained over the past year on one hand.
I’ll admit, I was really quite reserved when The Cleaning Gurus initially contacted me about reviewing their services. Firstly, my OCD is pretty intense when it comes to um, most things, and secondly, well, I like things done in a very specific way. But when they offered a month’s free cleaning in return for a…
