The Holidays: An Expansive Abyss...
Tuesday 1st July 2008

The school holidays are almost upon us (err - hurrah?). I’m once again faced with the daunting prospect of occupying my poppets for the next ten weeks (OHMYGOD!!!) once their expensive independent schools have slammed their doors shut behind them. Scrutinising my super efficient family calendar (an absolute must...

Yummy Mummy Swimwear
Thursday 5th June 2008

I’m delighted to report that my diet and fitness regime has been a complete success and without so much as a gastric band (gasp!), I have managed to shed my excess seven ounces. I am, once more, toned and pert, in short, beach body perfect (well almost). I passionately...

Little Attire...
Tuesday 6th May 2008

I’m currently on a carbohydrate free/alcohol free diet (OMG how dull am I) in an effort to perfect my figure prior to the summer swimwear fest. Until I’m once again beach body perfect, I shall be avoiding the purchase of any further garments for myself (sigh), and instead turning my...

Fruitful Shopping
Thursday 3rd April 2008

Shopping online is, in my opinion, the only way to ponder over any purchase whilst gravid. Tottering about from boutique to tea shop, balanced precariously on high heels, a tote on ones shoulder the weight of a young teenager, may well result in swollen legs, bloated feet, tumescent toes and...

Roadworthy Baby Vehicles
Sunday 2nd March 2008

The new “08”car registration plates have just been issued so my husband is off to collect his new vehicle – he is a man obsessed. In the past, I too have been pre-occupied by the quest to acquire “the right” set of wheels; I love nothing more than scrutinising...

Mummy's Treasure Chest
Friday 1st February 2008

I adore selecting the perfect gifts for Valentine’s Day. I have yet to be disappointed by the lingerie that hubby purchases for me (yes I provide him with enormous hints and ensure that he knows the correct size) because he genuinely has the best taste (of course he does, I’ve spent...

Changing Bags – That needn’t let the side down
Friday 4th January 2008

I’ve always been partial to splashing out on great accessories. A girl can be full-term and positively portly but still carry off a super status bag! A simple outfit can become a complete wow when a lady totes the right arm candy (and I don’t mean a pooch or...

Avoiding Stressful Situations...
Monday 3rd December 2007

A piece of advice from the childcare experts that I whole heartedly agree with is that if parents want to maintain their sanity, they should avoid taking little people into unnecessarily stressful situations, ie the annual Christmas shopping crush fest! Yesterday a great friend and I took our respective men and poppets...

A Girl's Night In
Wednesday 21st November 2007

Month by month, Bea will be featuring everything from the best baby changing bags that won’t let the side down to must have buggies that'll ensure supremacy at the school gates as well as a whole host of Yummy Mummy treats because ‘Becoming a mummy doesn’t mean one loses the will...
