    TRAVEL STYLING: Turkish Delight – A Daytime to Evening Versatile Maxi-Dress

    10 September, 20155 January, 2017

    As the weather in Turkey was so hot, loose clothes are a must. So, with that in mind when I saw this gorgeous floaty Cawthorne Temple Tiles Maxi-Dress from Fat Face (£60.00) I knew it would be just perfect – the pattern reminds me of the intricate patterns found within a Mosque or maybe the

    AD Over the last few months, regular hand washing AD Over the last few months, regular hand washing has become part of our routine - not that we didn’t wash our hands before but we are more conscious of it nowadays than ever. Both of the girls have been really great at keeping their hands clean and happily totter off to wash their hands before eating or if they get messy or sticky. We also wash our hands whenever we enter our home from being outside. The only issue with such frequent hand washing is that using lots of soap can leave hands dry, irritated and even cracked which can be sore, especially for little ones with their delicate, soft skin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ve switched to using the @QVSkincareUK range to gently cleanse and hydrate the skin, without irritation. The QV Gentle Wash is a great alternative to soap-based cleansers, it’s fragrance free, non-drying and pH balanced for a gentle approach to clean hands. After gently towel drying our hands we’ve been using the QV Cream, which is rich and moisturising which helps to keep our hands feeling super soft! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QV’s range of emollient cleansers and moisturisers are not just for hands, they can be used all over the body to help manage dry and sensitive skin. The products are available on prescription or to buy online or in stores. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more information head to @QVSkincareUK or www.qvskincare.co.uk ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo Credit: @nicolajacksonphotography
    Today was a big day for this little one, Pearl sta Today was a big day for this little one, Pearl started nursery! 🙌🏼 She had her first settling in session and although a bit nervous and clingy to start, she was soon starting to look around the room, noticing all the exciting toys, games and activities that lay in store! 🥰 At the end of her session we had a little play in the garden where at first she wouldn't let go of my hand, but by the end she was whizzing down the slide not wanting to leave! I was allowed in today (in full PPE!) but tomorrow will be her first settle without me. I think it'll be a tricky drop-off but with Violet by her side and all those exciting toys to look at I'm sure she'll be just fine! I'll let you know how we get on...... 👀🤞🏻 📸: @nicolajacksonphotography

    And just like that, some normality has finally com And just like that, some normality has finally come into our lives as this little one had her first day back at nursery today! She woke up at 6am so eager to get going - jumping on my bed she said 'quick, let's go, it's time to see my friends!', we got dressed and drove the long way to kill some time, but still ended up 30 minutes early so we had to wait in the car and wave eagerly at the staff who were only just arriving and probably thought we were nuts 😆 . Drop off was fine, she hesitated at first, but it was all new - dropping her at the main door, hand sanitiser, temperature taken and all the staff in masks has to be a little daunting to children, but she took it in her stride, eager to show her keywoker her new Frozen bag. She walked in without any tears, looking back saying 'Bye bye Mummy' and that was it! 🥰 . The whole day went by and I had some lovely quality time with Pearl, we haven't had a day together in ages so it was nice to give her my full attention and get a bit of work done in her nap too! . At pick up, Violet ran out to greet us with the biggest smile on her face! It made me feel weirdly emotional as it was like after all those sleepless nights agonising over whether it was the right thing to send her back, her face said it all - it was definitely the right decision, she was SO HAPPY. She played with all her friends all day and had a brilliant day. I could tell by how exhausted and hungry she's been this evening. So, all round it's win win for us all - Violet loved it and I really enjoyed a slower pace of life and some 'me time'. Roll on next week when Pearl has her settling in sessions. I won't know what to do with myself for two full child-free days!! 😝

    AD GIFTED | Happy #PrideMonth!! 🌈 I know this y AD GIFTED | Happy #PrideMonth!! 🌈 I know this year just won't be the same with Pride events cancelled, but there are ways we can still bring Pride to our homes, whether it is through a Pride Zoom Party with friends, reading about LGBTQ+ history, donating to LGBTQ+ charities or by marking the occasion in any way that feels special to you. Living in Brighton, I often forget that I'm in a very lucky to live in a vibrant, diverse and friendly city where you can be who you want to be, but in a lot of areas around the world (and even in the UK) this isn't the same. Therefore, we must always remember that pride isn't just about having a party and waving a flag, it's a protest to fight until everyone in the world has the same equality. I can't imagine anyone having a problem with my happy, loving family - but they do and in some countries, it would be illegal. I just hope one day this won't be the case and we can just let each other be. Love is love. Until then, we must keep fighting 🏳️‍🌈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to the wonderful people at @BloomandWild for sending me these gorgeous blooms in celebration of Pride month. If you'd like £10 off your order, use my code FIZZYPEACHES 🌸 Enjoy!

    I realised today this is my last full week with th I realised today this is my last full week with the girls before nursery starts again. On one hand I can't wait for them to go - it'll be brilliant for them to see friends, play and learn but on the other I know I'll really miss them. I've got used to our new way of life! I think being a mum means you can never win, right? 🤦🏼‍♀️
    Feeling exhausted tonight, so sharing a snap when Feeling exhausted tonight, so sharing a snap when I actually look semi-decent 😂. Tonight I've got the house and TV to myself, so now I've got the girls to bed (after they played up something rotten, of course as I was on my own 🙄🤣) I'm watching as much trash TV as possible, eating all the chocolate and playing Animal Crossing. How are you spending your Saturday night? ❤️

    It's the WEEKEND! Phew, that week felt like a real It's the WEEKEND! Phew, that week felt like a real slog, maybe it was the change in the weather or just lockdown fatigue but it felt LONG 😩 This week we decided to send the girls back to nursery. No one is thriving in this intense environment anymore and there comes a point when you wonder if the risks of not getting back to a little bit of normality outweigh the other risks. Looking at the bigger picture wasn't easy as it's my natural instinct to just hibernate away from people but I think we've made the right decision and they'll love it 🥰 The rest of the week was a bit of a write-off. Disney plus got us through, homeschooling out the window. But today is a fresh start, It's the weekend, we've got sourdough baking in the oven, fresh coffee and the sun is shining. It's going to be a good one. What are you up to this weekend? 🙌🏼
