Oh. My. The Style Mentors (and a bit on me and mine)

Stuff The boy wrote a song about his much adored Nana today. ‘Nana nana nana naaaaaaana. Nana is a lady.’ Followed by verse 2 ‘Clemmence Clemmence Clemence Cleeeeeeemence. Clemence is a bug.’ We’re staying in Ascot with Ben’s parents (Nana and Papa) while we go to a big European church convention in Windsor which starts … Continue reading

wishful world wide window shop

Alongside losing my locks in my bid to embrace the motherhood, making baby boy look too-old-too-soon was my other mistake (plus a whole host of others I’ve chosen to forget!) I just got caught up in the cuteness of the dinky denim and the shrunken shirt. No more! This time I’ll be snapping up a … Continue reading
