I thought that some of you might like this; my Mum made a little photo slideshow for me on her blog with some "Mr Bear on holiday" snapshots. I particularly like the ones of him standing guard on top of the cupboard - very sinister - and also the photos of him chewing...
One for those who want to skip past spring and head straight into summer: the Positano candle by Cire Trudon and Giambattista Valli. It's heady and exotic, packed chockablock full with white florals and jasmine and orange blossom, but it's also somehow very...
This month's preoccupation is "interior design". Despite the fact that my house currently has no interior walls and only half of the outside ones (and groundworks on the new part of the house have yet to even begin), I am sat (often for great lengths of time) studying...
Another day, another opportunity to win something amazing for your Mum and give it to her for Mother's Day. In actual fact, there's something to be won every day this week because Etsy*, the online Aladdin's Cave of all things handmade, unique and special, are running...
I can tell you that it is virtually impossible to do a still life photography shoot when you have a large and determined cat like Mr Bear in the house. There's something about the set-up - the pristine white foam background boards, the glossy, clean paper, the...
Just to go alongside the "What's In My Makeup Bag" post that went up earlier on this week; a snoop inside my handbag. My sister said when I took these photos - and I quote her directly - "this is the sh*ttest What's In My Bag ever! Where's all the makeup stuff?" But I...
We have movement! After weeks of feeling around for strange bubblings and "butterflies", the bubblings and butterflies have come to me! No manipulation of the stomach area necessary. Now that I can feel them, the movements, they happen all the time. I feel as though...
Have you been watching the BBC's television adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall? If so, do not worry, there is no need to adjust your television set: the Tudor times really were that dark. Lighting was something of a luxury, in the olde days. On the one hand, I...
If you read Pregnancy Week 19 then you may have come back looking for Pregnancy Week 20 and been disappointed, because it wouldn't have been here. I had a bit of a crisis of confidence, wondering whether I really did want to record all of my thoughts for everyone to...
This has become something of a daily sport, watching to see when - at what precise moment - my belly button will stop being in "inny" and start being an "outy". I won't pretend that the idea doesn't make me ever so slightly queasy, but the queasiness is greatly...
You can probably guess from the random title that I made a "vlog": which is, to those who are (quite blissfully) unaware, a kind of video diary. Lots of people ask for them, I rarely have a day that's interesting enough to make one. But yesterday I dashed about from...
I know that I've gone on about this five year journal loads, but I just want to say one more thing before I shut up about it forever: it is so brilliant! For those who have missed my past raves and know nothing about it, each page inside the journal has the date and a...
