When I was preggo with Mini-AG I took zero photos of myself. So, I decided, that this time around, I should at least have a few taken to capture the moment. I don’t know why I didn’t think of doing that with my first pregnancy though. Maybe if I had looked at portfolios like olgatopchii.com […]

OK girls. It’s truth time. After I get this baby out of me in April, I’ve got a lot going on… Weddings, christenings, and all those events on the summer social calendar (Ascot, Polo, Henley) which I just LOVE attending. So, if this time is anything like the last, I will be about 10 different […]
{Sponsored Post: We Bought a Zoo} Tell AG about your BIG dream. Win a spa day!
On Friday evening I was invited to a screening of the new movie, “We Bought a Zoo” with Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson. While very predictable, this is a great film for every family member.

Last Friday I had a really long and leisurely […]
