Last month Mini-AG signed up for a triathlon. She’s a good swimmer and a great runner but when I realized that her bike riding wasn’t quite where it should be I went into a total and complete panic. We were four days out from the competition and she was super upset that she didn’t have […]
Mothers of Teen Boys, Introducing 31st State
My son is only 6, but he is already smelly. There, I said it. I can’t even imagine, although I have been told by moms with older boys, that when puberty hits, it’s all smells from there. Furthermore, these poor teenage boys have nothing specifically designed for them, to clean their face, bodies, clear up […]
{Travel} I took my children to Ibiza
When I tell friends that I took my children (plus 7 other children, and their moms of course) to Ibiza they tend to look at me funny. “You took your kids to Ibiza?” Yes, yes I did. And it ended up being a major highlight of everyone’s summer. People automatically think that Ibiza is for […]
{Mummy & Me} Half-Term is Coming….
I don’t know about you girls, but I find October half-term the most frustrating half-term of them all. I mean, we literally JUST got back from summer break, and I’ve just booked my tickets to Los Angeles for Christmas. The kids don’t need another holiday, and there’s very few places that you can go for […]
{A Date for your Diary} Join Me at the London Walkabout
I am really excited to be helping with this year’s London Walkabout on October 8th in Hyde Park. Many of you have attended the Walkabout in past years so you’ll probably already know that it’s a really great family day out. After taking part in a fun 5k (don’t worry you can walk, skip or […]

In 2013, my GP (and paediatrician for my Mini’s), Chiara Hunt, started “The Bump Class” and since then SO many of my friends and friends of friends have signed up and loved every second of the fun and informative sessions speaking about pregnancy, birth and beyond.

{Entertainment} Dr Seuss’s “The Lorax” at The Old Vic – book now!
Last night I took Mini-AG to the opening press night of Dr Seuss’s “The Lorax” at the Old Vic. On the taxi ride to the theatre I told her that since it was a going to be a late night, we could definitely leave at the intermission if she was feeling too tired. Mini-AG has […]
{Mummy & Me} Christmas is Coming! Have you booked LaplandUK yet?
There’s a lot of fun activities to put on your schedule for Christmas, but a day at LaplandUK should definitely be at the very top of your list. We took both kids last year and they absolutely loved every minute of it. Located about an hour from London (the closest train station is Whitmoor Forest, […]

{Mummy & Me} Throwing a “Baby Sprinkle” at The Lanesborough
When I was pregnant with Mini-AB (my second babe) and one of my girlfriends asked me if I wanted a party, I said “no!” I had a giant baby shower with Mini-AG and didn’t want to overwhelm people with another party. She replied “C’mon, we have to, we won’t have a shower, we’ll have a […]
{Mummy & Me} Kidzania, where Kids run the town!
Last Saturday Husband and I took our children to Kidzania in the Westfield shopping centre in Shepherds Bush. The made-just-for-kids town is pretty much one of the coolest experiences for children to hit London. Sponsored by British Airways, the entrance to KidZania is built exactly like you’re in an airport. After checking our “passports” the BA […]
{Mummy & Me} Fingerprints Forever
After Mini-AB was born I wanted to have his feet cast in bronze. I saw a flyer for Philippa Herbert at the Kensington Wing and grabbed it on my way out the door. A few days later Philippa Fergusson, who owns the company with her friend and fellow mom, Sally Herbert came over and began making the […]
