Become an Auntie

Holding my nephew in my arms in the hospital after he was born ranks up there as one of the best moments of my life. He was and is absolutely perfect and I get emotional just thinking about how smol and fragile he is! Here are some photos from the night he was born:

2022 State of the Union

After a hell of a crazy couple of COVID-focused years, I am so pleased to report that 2022 was finally the year where we got back to some semblance of normality. That’s not to say that there wasn’t stress to deal with. The year began with a health scare and continued to rocket from there. […]

Review – Afternoon Tea at The Berkeley

I was super excited to go to an afternoon tea at the luxurious Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge, not least because the hotel is lovely, but because the afternoon tea there is excitingly fashion themed called Pret-a-Portea! Cute! Putting two of my favourite things together sounded like a no brainer, so I enlisted my friend Angelica […]

Zola’s second birthday

Last year, Zola turned one and we celebrated firmly in style. This year, our little bubby was turning two and so of course we had to gather the troops again, albeit in a slightly scaled back way. Of course, we needed some decorations.. and food for humans… and doggy treats galore! We invited a bunch […]

We just got back from the most incredible long weekend trip to Oslo, to visit some friends who live there with their two children. We spent 3 days doing our own non-child friendly agenda, gallivanting around Oslo and 2 days with our friends. It was the best long weekend and we’ve come back from the […]
