Looking back at our travel themed wedding ... six years on

Looking back at our travel themed wedding … six years on

Posted on March 1, 2019March 5, 2019 by Alana

I can’t believe that it’s been six years since we got married … in some ways it feels way longer because so much has happened since – a dog, two children, several new jobs – and in other ways it feels like it was yesterday. Every so often I think back to our big day

Behind the scenes of a hen party in Budapest

Behind the scenes of a hen party in Budapest

Posted on February 3, 2019February 3, 2019 by Alana

Picture the scene. A hen party in Budapest … 11 women, 10 wearing groom-to-be masks, one dressed as Christina Aguilera, complete with two-tone wig and genie’s lamp, and a beer bike loaded with more alcohol than I naively thought a stag do of the same size would struggle to get through.  Budapest is a city

Christmas 2018: The lead-up to the big day

Christmas 2018: The lead-up to the big day

Posted on December 27, 2018December 27, 2018 by Alana

I can’t quite believe it’s Christmas Eve. I feel as if I blinked in September and December appeared. How does that happen? Three months have just passed in a haze of work, school events and Christmas panic. I haven’t even had a chance to catch up with what we’ve been up to, so while I’ve

Love it or hate it, elf on the shelf is huge … and I don’t think it’s going away anytime soon. We’ve been doing it for the past couple of years, but a bit half-heartedly as our boys have been too young to really get it. This year, our eldest son has been asking for

(AD) A Christmas shopping dash at Fforestfach Retail Parc ... and what we bought!

(AD) A Christmas shopping dash at Fforestfach Retail Parc … and what we bought!

Posted on November 27, 2018November 27, 2018 by Alana

*we were very kindly invited to Fforestfach Retail Parc to take part in this challenge. The items were gifted, but chosen by us* Does anyone else feel like Christmas shopping can be a bit overwhelming? I love it, don’t get me wrong – there’s nothing better than browsing the shops when it’s all festive –

Skincare for a busy mother: My current beauty buys

Skincare for a busy mother: My current beauty buys

Posted on November 22, 2018November 22, 2018 by Alana

I don’t know about you, but I tend to chop and change beauty products quite a lot, and never stick with them long enough to see the benefits. I read about a “miracle product”, buy it and give up after a week because it hasn’t got rid of my dark circles, wrinkles, or made my skin

The first swimming lesson - and realising we have "that child"

The first swimming lesson – and realising we have “that child”

Posted on November 8, 2018 by Alana

You know how when you go to a toddler class, a birthday party or a sports group and there’s “that one child”? You know the one. The one that if you’re being kind you’d describe as free-spirited, or on the other hand you’d describe as feral? Turns out that child is ours. For months now

What we eat: A Joe Wicks inspired weekly family meal plan

What we eat: A Joe Wicks inspired weekly family meal plan

Posted on November 5, 2018November 5, 2018 by Alana

I thought I’d write something a bit different tonight, and share our Joe Wicks inspired weekly family meal plan. If it was down to me, none of our meals would be planned in advance because I’m just not organised. It would be a case of me running to the shop every day to pick up

Autumn days out: Pumpkin picking at Penyfodau Fawr, Gowerton

Autumn days out: Pumpkin picking at Penyfodau Fawr, Gowerton

Posted on October 22, 2018 by Alana

Pumpkin picking has become a little autumn tradition of ours, and one I really look forward to. There’s nothing better than heading out as a family on a sunny autumn day, armed with my camera and the aim of choosing a load of pumpkins to decorate. The past few years we’ve tried a few different

Waking up feeling a bit 'meh' ... and what I did to get out of it

Waking up feeling a bit ‘meh’ … and what I did to get out of it

Posted on October 10, 2018October 10, 2018 by Alana

If you follow me on Facebook, you might have seen that this morning I wasn’t really feeling myself. I didn’t sleep very well, so I was tired, a bit grumpy and generally lacking in enthusiasm … a bit ‘meh’ as I put it. There was nothing particularly wrong with me, I just wasn’t feeling great.
