Books, stationery, and wellbeing
I've read a few blog posts and spotted a few pics on Instagram lately where people have taken themselves out for coffee dates and it seemed like such a good idea. When I was due to meet a friend for coffee the other day, rather than traipse around town when he said he was stuck… Continue reading Self-Care Sunday #24
Spring is finally here! There have been the obligatory photos of daffodils and blossoms and a sense of being outdoors more, which is always awesome. This is when summer starts to arrive in Cornwall - I've been known to spend a day on the beach in February because as soon as the sun appears we… Continue reading My life in photos: March 2017
Thursdays are normally a rush. I've just finished my working week (#sorrynotsorry) so I'm super-tired as it is and I generally have just under an hour to get Jenson ready for swimming. It's not worth waking him earlier - have you ever woken a toddler? Ugh! In that time we both get dressed, have breakfast… Continue reading Self-Care Sunday #5
Seriously, how is it already March? It feels like it was just Christmas! But at least it means spring is on the way - plenty of opportunities for fun days in the park and on the beach with the boys. Here's a look back at a cold and stormy February. 1. Presents from Dom (check… Continue reading My life in photos: February 2017
I've been meaning to tell you about this wonderful place since we first took Jenson last year. The Craft Box is a beautiful arts cafe in Penzance (there's one in Helston too) where you can pop in with your children to create the perfect gift or memento. We took Jenson last year when he was… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: The Craft Box, Penzance
Earlier this week I found the perfect t-shirt for me. Now I've found the perfect mug! I do indeed run on coffee and sarcasm - nice one, The Crafty Giraffe! It's £7.50.
Everyone has a go-to coffee place. Mine isn't Starbucks, Costa or Cafe Nero, it's The Front Room in Penzance. It's a genuinely warm and welcoming cafe, which serves brunch all day and always has a great selection of cakes. The customer service is great, with someone there to say hi when you walk through the… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: The Front Room, Penzance
Yesterday I met up with my oldest friend and her little boy for brunch in one of my fave places in Penzance - The Front Room (the place will have its own blog post - coming soon!). I had to snap something for Instagram before the table got filled with baby snacks and toys and… Continue reading Sunday Snapshot #49
How perfect is this coffee mug from typo? I'm totally guilty of procaffeinating. And the best bit is it's got a lid so you can top up on the go. Genius! Plus it's only a tenner.
Is it just me or does it still feel like it was just Christmas and now January is already over? It flew by in a blur of germs, geekery, coffee and cake, as evidenced by the following photos. 1. My brother bought me a seasalt and caramel cookie kit for Christmas and I gave it… Continue reading My life in photos: January 2016
