Today we have been to the new Lego exhibition at the @hornimanmuseumgardens made gold glitter slime from @hobbycrafthq (see my Stories) and we’ve just got back from watching How To Train Your Dragon 3 🔥 I think I’ve reached my half term peak far too soon and may regret cramming it all into one day but it’s been so lovely and I’m back to work tomorrow and painting Nellie’s room so normal interiors service will resume. How’s your half term going? .

Didn’t post last night due to a last minute dash to Saino’s for mango chutney and naan breads. Worth it though because that veggie curry was the best thing I’ve eaten all week 🔥🔥🔥 Up and cracking on with the last of the wallpaper removal today and painting today. Lots of you were upset that the flamingoes have gone. I know, they’re gorgeous but as I wrote in my blogpost, it was never lined up correctly when it was hung and it’s bothered me all this time. Also Nellie appears to have been trying to make a great escape in the night and the plaster air grate had been pulled off and wallpaper ripped underneath. But I’m going to keep the sheets and hopefully do something with them. In other news our bedroom is now full of her stuff but here’s one I took earlier in the week featuring flowers from my Valentine 💕💕 Happy Sunday lovelies! xx

[AD - Gifted] Happy Friday! I went bare legs today which I regretted on the school run when they went a fetching shade of blue...but by lunchtime I was Smuggy McSmugface 😎 And to top it off both kids have been absolute dreamboats today and now we are snuggled up on the sofa watching The Greatest Showman for the 1356th time. Raf’s good mood has been topped off with the arrival of his very own trunks from @noholdenback latest collection for @qvcuk He’s wanted some ever since Nellie got her peach ones a few months back. Even better he’s got three, and she’s only got two so he thinks he’s well and truly #winning. But we all know Nellie’s the boss...of all of us 💪🏼 - The trunks were gifted. .

How lovely was today? I usually feel stressed on Thursdays because it’s my last official working day until Tuesday (without kids, I’m still working but juggling it around them) and I never feel like I’ve done enough. But for once I’m feeling pretty on top of things today and I’ve just published my second blogpost of the week (two in a week! Who AM I?) It’s all about my plans for Nellie’s bedroom, which I’m starting this weekend. So click through the link in my bio to see my pink (but not too pink) moodboard and what else I’ve got planned. Speaking of Nellie, she is going through ALL the feels right now and while I know it’s a phase and it will pass, I’m not going to lie, I’m finding it hard. She has always been such a sweetie but the tantrums at the moment are pretty spectacular when they start. I feel like I’m treading on eggshells because you never know when she’ll blow. I never had this with Raf! Staying calm because I know it’s the only way, but...please tell me it IS just a phase?!? This post contains some gifted items. The stair runner is from @kersaintcobb The light is from @skinflintlighting and the clock is from @bramwellbrown .

[AD] I drive him crazy with my inane chatter, my constant desire to decorate and my ongoing extra-marital relationship with Instagram. But he loves me really, and I love him more than ever. I'm the Yin to his Yang and this year will mark 20 years since we first got together. It hasn't been plain sailing and we can fight and bicker with the best of them, but we were babies when we got together and now we have two of our own babies to love, and nurture and keep safe. Sometimes our own needs get lost while we both juggle kids, work, friends, housework etc so I didn't think twice when @lindoruk invited us to stay at the Albion House hotel in Ramsgate last weekend, as part of their partnership with @secretescapes No kids, no responsibilities and no obligation to get out of bed to make breakfast for hungry little people. I wouldn't swap what we have now for anything, but just for a few hours, it was absolute bliss! #Lindor #secretescapes #ad .

**NEW BLOGPOST** I’ve got a new House Envy tour up over on the blog and it’s an absolute stone cold stunner! There’s a lot of buzz about the 5th wall (aka the ceiling) at the moment and this is one of the best examples I’ve seen by @em.gurner in the home of stylist @gaylerinkoff If you love colour, pattern, pink and palms, you will love this house tour. Click the link in the bio to see much more and I’ll pop a link in Stories too.

New wardrobes still no closer to being painted so will have to share new little corners of our bedroom instead. I cannot exaggerate how happy our bedroom is making me since we finally got @freeborn_carpentry to come and fit some wardrobes and we had this lovely soft @kersaintcobb carpet put down. Relatively small changes but they’ve had a huge impact on how the room feels. I’m also totally obsessed with the new pieces (generously gifted by @westelmuk ) which are gracing the space left behind by selling our old wardrobe. The curves on this mirror and the fluted detail on the chest of drawers are ticking a lot of boxes. If you need me, you’ll find me in here for the foreseeable. [Carpet gifted by @kersaintcobb, chest and drawers and mirror gifted by @westelmuk Sonos gifted by @sonos ]

Perfect cosy spot to shelter from the wind and rain. Lovely evening spent at @albionhouseramsgate soaking up all the original Georgian features. Comfy beds too, so comfy in fact that we both fell asleep at 8pm. We’re WILD! Home now and reunited with the kids who barely even noticed we’d gone 🙄 
This stay was part of a paid partnership I’m doing with @lindoruk however this post is not part of the partnership, just sharing because it looks nice and I thought you might like it. .

[AD] Hiding from the kids and taking a moment to myself with this hamper of chocolate dreams, sent by @lindoruk The Hazelnut ones are my all time fave, how about you? As if that wasn't enough of a treat, the Lindor team, in collaboration with @secretescapes , are also sending David and I away to a stunning seaside hotel this weekend BY OURSELVES! Yes, just me and him. It couldn't have been better timed really. We realised the other day that we haven't had any quality time on our own for about six months...and folding the washing in front of the TV, while he does the ironing doesn't count. So yeah, it's going to be bliss! Oh and the hamper is coming with us, obviously. He likes the classic milk chocolate ones so we won't fall out. We might even save a few to give the kids when we get home ;-) #Lindor #SecretEscapes #ad
I’ve had a few people ask me why I don’t show more of my kitchen. The short answer is...it’s just not very nice to look at. Then Instagram reminded me of this shot I posted a year ago and I was shocked by how nice it did look. It does not look like this now. We had just painted all the cupboards pink, painted all the green and terracotta wall tiles white, put new brass handles on and added a nice bright rug to detract away from the cheap laminate flooring. But a year later it’s looking a bit shabby again unfortunately. So make the most of this because it might be a while before you see a full kitchen shot again 😜
