Sorting
Today we spent some time getting ourselves organised ready for Baby Number Two. I am now 35 weeks pregnant and time is ticking on. We brought all the baby stuff out of the garage into the house and sorted through it, picking out the girlier toys. Whilst I don’t like toys being specifically gendered,… Continue reading Sorting
An Oversight
It just goes to show how different things are the second time around. I was procrastinating of a Sunday evening (so far, so normal) and trying to decide about where to go with my blogs (this one and Raising Evelina).

The fireworks at Warwick Racecourse… Continue reading Half Term Hijinx
Summer Break
What a summer! A fantastic holiday in the Cape Cod area and oodles of time with my Linapie has meant for a fun and busy month of August. With only a week after we returned from holiday before starting work, it has felt like I haven't had chance to catch my breath. Now I am… Continue reading Summer Break
