‘The Big 04’ A Magical Birthday
Being a family of event planners, we love going all out when there is a party or occasion to plan! My daughter recently turned 4 and it was the first time she actually had friends she could invite to a party. I didn’t really know any mums with kids her age and finally with starting nursery she had some littles to invite for once. Usually it’s mainly just family who come to the parties. Since it was the first ‘big’ party for her, we decided to get a bit creative….well…a bit turned in to A LOT…and we went a bit overboard. BUT it was totally worth it and it was…

Making A Comeback! Introducing Lifestyleish.co.uk
It’s good to be back! We are back with a new name, new branding and some new social pages. I introduce to you Lifestyleish! The name just seemed a much better fit that covered everything I post.I will put links to all pages at the end of the blog. I was going to write a post all about why I left this blog sitting here. Just collecting dust over the last couple of years or so. A post about what has been going on in my life so far. But there would be way too much to fit in to the one post. So instead I am just going to…

Turtle Bay Comes To Durham
The other night I had the pleasure of attending the launch party for the new Turtle Bay in Durham. I have never actually been to a Turtle Bay before so I was quite excited to try somewhere new. I live local to Durham and I was also pleased that there was another new addition to the area. The new restaurant/bar, serving the best Caribbean food is newly located on the Riverwalk. So Many Lights Upon arrival I was instantly drawn to all the beautiful lighting that shone through the glass windows. Lots of fairy lights everywhere and I could see so many vibrant colours before I even walked in. The…

Femme Luxe Clothing – Review – *Sponsored*
Okay, so I just had a baby. Let’s face it, clothes shopping post baby can be utterly miserable! Don’t even talk to me about online shopping! I just do the same usual Primark, Tesco, Asda basics because why would I invest in clothes I hope I no longer fit in the near future. I do feel a bit boring though and not the most fashionable. I don’t love my clothes, they just serve a purpose. I mean there is nothing wrong with those stores at all, who doesn’t love a bit of Primarni or an easy grab, comfortable bargain! It was more the fact that I found myself buying just…

4 Fears I had As A New Mum – Emma’s Diary
I was delighted to write my second article for Emma’s diary recently which has just gone live on the site. I talk all about the top 4 fears I had when becoming a new mum again! I particularly enjoyed doing the photo shoot for this one as Indie was being a little cutie! The article features Pampers and she ended up looking like a little Pampers model with her big grin and poses! Becoming a parent is so exciting! Whether it is your first, second or tenth baby, I don’t believe that excitement ever stops! One thing that definitely doesn’t stop is the worries you have when they are born.…

A Super Awesome Minecraft Birthday!
My baby boy is 6!!! He seems to have got so tall this last year and so grown up. He is losing those last few incorrectly pronounced words. No more calling mayonnaise ‘Mellonaise’ or calling a remote a ‘bemote’. He is growing too fast! Having a baby this year also made him grow up so much more quickly! Where has my baby boy gone! I do love that he is now the best big brother ever! If you happened to see my post about the Enderman (from Minecraft) costume I made for Halloween then you will probably have guessed that my little man is obsessed with Minecraft. Of course he…
