As soon as we found out we were expecting, our baby shopping list started to grow by the day. One of the most important items on the list was the car seat and as we all know the hospital won't allow you to take our baby home without one. I always knew I wanted a…
I have designed hundreds of rooms in the past including children's bedrooms but never a nursery and never did I think the first would be for my own baby. But, here we are, a time I thought would never come, only a few weeks away from the arrival of our daughter! Our spare room has…
To have a baby shower or not to have a baby shower, that is the question! When I sent the invitations out back in March I thought June was so far away and I just couldn't ever imagine being 34 weeks pregnant! As we all know time goes too fast and the date came around…

As it is my husband’s birthday in December we usually take a trip around this time. Last year we were in freezing cold but beautiful Venice, the year before hot Dubai, and the year before a warm Barcelona. This year I treated him to a staycation in the Cotswolds as neither of us had been…
