So a week ago I turned 40, and I decided to embrace this major milestone of my life by throwing a big circus themed party. I had seen loads of pics of gorgeous circus and carnival themed parties on Pinterest, so I set out to recreate something of the feel but without breaking the bank. […] Read more…
Have I mentioned yet how much I love Autumn? Every year, I have a long list of things I want to do with the kids during Autumn, and every year we get to the end of Autumn and have forgotten about half of them. So this year I’m being more organised and I have made […] Read more…
To complete the home tour of our apartment, I was going to share some pictures of our kitchen, but since starting my little series we have actually moved house!
