Have you ever judged a working parent for not working as hard, leaving early, or using their children as an excuse?… https://t.co/pJslb9SJNL

  • This week has been BIG on the wedding planning front - my first dress fitting, my hair and makeup trial, and one last visit to our venue before the actual day. I know I’ve been a bit quiet talking about all things wedding planning, but there will definitely be a full debrief after it’s all over and I’ve processed. (The mammoth ‘everything I’ve learnt about wedding planning’ blog post is already being drafted) ...51 days and counting! (Pic for attention 😜)

  • And then he was two. A wooden Gordon train, a Wiggles CD for the car, and a caterpillar cake makes for one happy boy. (Sorry for the lack of shirts, but this is what summer tends to look like in this house of boys).

  • Today is mostly going to be spent deleting GDPR emails, and following the #hometovote hashtag - how about you? This dress is from New Look: Normally I’d avoid any dress that describes itself as a smock, as I tend to look like a bin bag. But this one cinches in at the waist and gives great shape 👍🏻

  • How to move forward when one of you wants more children and the other doesn’t? Bearing my heart today over on my blog. This post has been brewing for a loooong while. Can anyone else relate? (The link is in the usual place).

  • All the love for turquoise houses ❤️ Today is normally a work day, but taken a bit of a duvet day as I prepare for the next two months. Sam is away this week then next week is the start of Rory, Otto, and Sam’s bdays all within 8 days of each other. In June we have Sam’s stag in NY, 2 hen dos, another stag, a wedding abroad, plus one or two more work trips for Sam. Then 3 weeks later it’s time for our own wedding! It’s going to be a mad but fun couple of months. Right now, it feels a bit like the calm before the storm and I’m embracing it whilst it’s here. For anyone else feeling the overwhelm, I’m fully in support of downing tools and slowing down - even when it feels like there’s no time, there’s always a small window.

  • My first foray into the world of spray tans. I was so nervous I was going to look like I’d been tangoed, but the results were actually much more of a natural brown. I think this could be a game changer for my standardly ghostly white legs. (Tan was Sienna X 8%).
