Bedruthan was the second stop on our Cornish road trip and I was so excited to visit. It had been 25 years since I was last there. It’s crazy to think that a privately owned family hotel has stood such a test of time. When we arrived, I have to be honest, Nick and I...
October half term is a new thing for us, so we decided to grasp the freedom of having Leo out of school for a week and head to the Cornish coast for an adventure. For those thinking that it’s a bit of a mission to get to Cornwall from London (or further afield), it’s...
A few months ago I did a little before and after on Instastories but I thought that I’d pop it here too so that’s it’s always here to refer back to. Mainly because I’m still getting lots of DM’s about the life-changing clothes airer! Our...
We were SO excited when we Nicola Lewis AKA This Girl Can Organise AKA TGCO agreed to come to Sam’s house and not only chat to us on the sofa but organise her kitchen! Dream. Come. True! We talk about de-cluttering and organising a lot on our stories, and with...
Just under two hours outside of London lies a little slice of coastal heaven that was the perfect retreat to recover from wisdom tooth surgery whilst keeping my two boys entertained. Comprised of a dozen different sized wooden cabins nestled amongst the wildflowers on...
If you aren’t following Ruth aka: @modelrecommends on Instagram then you should be. She is bloody HILARIOUS. She’s one of the original beauty YouTubers (but a grown up – no shimmery highlighters here), a brilliant businesswoman with two brands under...
So writing this post 18 months into life with two kids seems a bit silly but recently we’ve been getting a lot of DM’s from you about when it all clicks. We don’t sugarcoat around here because that is helpful to no one and honestly, looking back at the time when Alfie...
Hello and welcome to tonight’s episode of Sofa Sessions. This lady needs NO introduction – it’s only blo*dy Amanda Holden!!! The first lady of Saturday night TV, Queen of Heart and mama to Lexi and Hollie opened up to us about her home-life, how she...
If you don’t know that we’re big-time Homesense fans (Gemma in particular could be called a little obsessed) then where have you been?! We’ve both been shopping there for years, and Gemma remembers the first thing she bought there 9 years ago –...
Travelling to the Maldives with kids is not as crazy at it sounds, promise. To begin with, I have to say that timing was everything. Leo starts school in September and Alfie isn’t two yet. This meant that it was the last holiday we could plan where we didn’t...
Finally, summer is coming!! That’s right, 30 degrees, dry, and most likely quite sweaty. The same thing happens every time we get a quick burst of summer – we panic that we have nothing to wear. So we are here to help! We aren’t huge believers in...
We live for holidays. If I had to choose one thing to spend my hard earned money on it would be holidays (after food/water/pink Nike trainers….) So back in March we spent a blissful (blissful ish, there were a couple of trantrums) 8 days at Club Med in La...
Hello! And welcome to a blog post all about our new obsession, QVC. Well it’s not so much a new obsession, as in reality we’ve both been shopping from it for years, and Sam was a guest presenter on it with a favourite beauty brand, Liz Earle, around 2...
Hello, good evening and may we introduce you to someone who you may not know, but you will 100% know her work. Caroline Barnes is the celebrity make-up artist who is called upon by all the big names – Kylie, Cheryl, Louise Redknapp – you name it,...
Guys, we got her on the sofa and it’s all thanks to you. After we did some Insta stalking, you all tagged us in her pics, and one of our followers managed to connect us! We’ve hung out a couple of times, spent the morning at Casa Solomon-Swash last...
