Has it already been more than a year? Yes!

Hi, are you still reading? I can’t believe I’ve left it this long. This blog started out so passionately and as life happened – all at once with the addition of a then puppy and a then newborn baby – it naturally became relegated. Nevertheless, it was always on my mind. I kept having ideas […]

703 people and a dog living in a village

November 28, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

Loooooong time no read. You see, motherhood is a full-time affair. Rafaela is now 10 months, can you believe it? Time flies when you are having fun- also when you are very sleep deprived and drowning in piles and piles of laundry to wash, fold and sort. Anyways, I am here: monitor watching and trying […]

My B&B (baby and bestie)

April 24, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

Most certainly you know who Mariana is. No, I am not talking about myself in third person but I’m talking about my best friend: Mariana. We have known each other since we were 16 years old but we didn’t become friends until we went away to study a semester in Montpellier when we were 18 […]

Welcome to the world Rafaela

March 18, 2018.Reading time 4 minutes.

We became parents on the 25th of January. I can’t believe it has been almost 8 weeks but I have finally gotten around to writing about Rafaela. Her arrival into this world wasn’t as I had planned. I envisioned myself in a birthing pool, with little to no medical intervention whilst I embraced all my […]

Sunday Snow Snuggles

December 11, 2017.Reading time 4 minutes.

I kept checking my weather app on Saturday. I wanted to make sure the Met office wasn’t playing with me when they said it was going to snow on Sunday. I probably checked my phone more than I should have but I was really hoping I would wake up to snow. Edward woke up at […]

Confessions of a 31 week old pregnant woman.

November 30, 2017.Reading time 6 minutes.

We are finally in the one digit number countdown! In theory we are T-9 weeks, and I can’t wait. You see, I was debating whether or not to write this blog post. It isn’t like I have a big audience, it is more because I need to confess something that might be a bit controversial. […]

The thing about this year’s autumn…

October 26, 2017.Reading time 8 minutes.

Despite the windows at the shops trying to convince us that it is Christmas already I can positively tell you it is still technically autumn. Please don’t misunderstand me, I have been counting the days until I can put my Christmas bedding on and start listening to Christmas music without feeling judged but as […]

I saw some tiny socks and I bought them

October 3, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

A few weeks ago we were out in the shops and I saw some tiny socks. At that point, I didn’t know if we were having a boy or a girl but I did know we were going to have a baby that was going to fit in those tiny socks so I bought them. […]

We got a French Bulldog with Hungarian heritage that was born in Newcastle and now lives in London and we called him Tokyo.

August 19, 2017.Reading time 4 minutes.

On our puppy’s 6 month “birthday” I finally got round to writing a post about him. His name is Tokyo and he is a blue pied French bulldog, and he is the best doggie in the world. During our first weeks of being puppy carers some of our friends visited (at that time we were […]

“Tale as old as time” Afternoon Tea at Town House at The Kensington

August 15, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

Have I ever written that many fancy words in quick succession? No, this is a first. Even reading the title of this blog post makes me feel like I am not living in a tiny flat in East London but in the French Rococo where the Beauty and The Beast were definitely real. As for […]
