I have nothing particularly profound to say this Sunday (do I ever?!) and so I thought I'd give you a little run-down of what I've been up to this week. Apart from feeding the baby, which seems to take up approximately 89% of my time, and procrastinating over whether...
I tried to film my first "back to work" video this week and it was absolute chaos! (Those of you balking at the idea of me being back to work after a month, fear not: I mean the working-from-home sort of work, I'm not strapping the baby onto my front and hiking into...
Hurrah! Baby Number Two (or "New Baby", as he is known, until we can decide on a name) has arrived. I don't know whether you follow my Mum & Baby blog, The Uphill, but you can find a slightly more detailed announcement over there. All of us are doing very well,...
Good Morning, everyone, this is Ruth's Mum speaking!!! Ruth has asked me just to do her Sunday Tittle Tattle Post and to keep it short (she’s quite bossy; she does know how circum-loquacious I am, and how etymologically absorbed I can be, and what is the difference...
Well, this must have been one of the strangest weeks of my life, in terms of personal ups and downs*. Firstly, I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes (you can read my initial post on it here, though it needs updating with the latest findings) and this has...
Thursday was "take your toddler to work day". Not literally, of course - nobody else had their toddler there, and it wasn't one of those ridiculous national things like "national doughnut day" or "national look after your feet properly day" - but for me it was...
I'm not sure it was the best way to start my year, saying "b*llocks to resolutions". I suppose I was trying to give myself a break, not be so hard on myself - I was attempting to put a stop to the continuous "must do better" voice inside my head that manages to...
I was all set to write one of those slightly twee resolutions posts that are almost obligatory every New Year and then I thought to myself, are you completely MAD, woman? You don't even have time to wash your hair, half the time - what kind of improvements to yourself...
See what I did there? Christmas Tittle Tattle! It's Christmas, but it's also a Sunday, so I've done a little combo title. Utter genius. I hope that you're all having a wonderful day already, whether you celebrate Christmas or not - I'm writing this in advance, for...
I feel as though I've been quite successful (if I do say so myself!) in keeping my pregnancy/baby stuff separate from my beauty posts for the past eighteen months or so. Mostly thanks to the fact that I have The Uphill blog, which I use as a sort of cathartic online...
I completely and utterly jinxed myself with last week's Tittle Tattle, falling into bed like a sack of rocks by lunchtime and spending Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ill in bed. (I managed to haul myself up on Monday night to attend a chef's table dinner, but...
It was my birthday on Monday - I was thirty-six. I decided to ramble on about it a bit in a vlog, which I have stuck to the page below for your viewing pleasure. The day was a bit of a washout because Mr AMR was stuck in bed with a cough and cold - he very bravely...
