PCOS, Mirena and other things …

August 18, 2018

I haven’t blogged in a while, mainly because the summer holidays have been somewhat flat out. And so I thought I might share a little update about PCOS, Mirena and other things that have been going down in the household over the past few weeks.   PCOS A little back story first. I was diagnosed with Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) a good few years ago now. It causes infertility, amongst a myriad of other issues, and why we struggled to conceive our youngest without intervention. Anyway, a couple of the other lovely side effects of PCOS is weight gain, hirsutism (hair growing out your chinny chin chin amongst other places), ovaries that look like bunches of grapes, insulin resistance and some of the worst periods known to woman

Growing Triop critters …

July 30, 2018

Disclaimer: This is a review for which I have been sent the Nick Baker's Triop World at no personal cost. All opinions/thoughts expressed are unbiased and my own.   I will be honest and say I hadn’t planned a great deal to do with the children over the summer holidays. Not because I couldn’t be bothered but because they were going to spending a lot of time with their Grandparents. The most I had to plan for was passing on info about things they would probably not cope with very well. So when I was contacted to review the Nick Baker’s Triop World Kit from My Living World, I obviously jumped at the opportunity.   When the kit arrived they had very kindly included the Worm World Kit too,

Belfast in a day …

July 1, 2018

Right I know it has taken me a little while to get this down, but here are all the things we got up to in a day when we went to Belfast. There are loads more things you can do, and next time we would definitely go for a lot longer, but for now here’s how we did Belfast in a day. We arrived on the Friday night and stayed at the Premier Inn. We tend to stay with them so our son settles as they are pretty much the same wherever you go and they’re always pretty reasonable too.   Granny Annie's We headed to a quirky little joint called Granny Annie's which was about 10 minutes walk from our hotel. We were meeting friends there for breakfast

Birchbox {June 2018} …

June 30, 2018

I was super excited to get my June Birchbox, as it was a special edition for their 5th birthday. They had shared on Instagram the cutest keepsake tin and featured an additional 6th item. These little boxes of treats arrive once a month through the letter box and I love them. As I have mentioned before they are my little self-care aid, and for £10 plus postage they cost less than one lunch date. Want to know what I got? Keep on reading to see. Firstly there is of course the gorgeous tin with the prettiest blue rose design on it. I have no idea what I am going to keep in there. Part of me wants to catalogue my fruity tea bags in there. Birchbox June

Birchbox {May 2018} …

May 20, 2018

A couple of months ago I decided to treat myself to a little something. Nothing too big, just a little pick me up to land through the letter box that I could play with and maybe find some new products that I like. Because let’s face it I don’t have the time or loads of pennies to spend on tons of new product.  So I decided to subscribe to Birchbox and have so far recieved a couple of boxes. I enjoyed this months Birchbox May collection so much I thought I would share it with you. I will add that as a woman rapidly approaching 40 years of age, these boxes probably feel like they are advertised to a much younger age group, but don’t be

About Me

Hello, I'm Sophie

This is my little corner of the internet where I share where we live, food, family and of course our odd road trip to the seaside. I live in the beautiful county of Worcestershire, sharing my life with husband Phil, two children, with the odd flying visit from my three grown step sons. Yep that’s seven of us! Enjoy having a nose around my blog and seeing what we get up to as a family.
