Big Game Hunters Whacky Penthouse | REVIEW

As a child I would’ve moved heaven and earth for a proper playhouse – I’ve always been a little homemaker at heart. Unfortunately I had to make do with my Dads shed – which in fairness he let us paint and rearrange until our hearts content – but I also had to share it with the firewood and a rogue mouse that used to chew up my ‘artwork’! The one thing I adore about my kids is their imagination, but their constant efforts at making a den out of my sofa cushions started to take its toll. It became my…

The Me & Mine Project – June 2018

You may be thinking I haven’t seen those faces around these parts for a while. It’s true, I have been totally slacking – although for good reason. The last few months have been both amazing and pretty crappy in equal measure. If you don’t normally read my blog then I’ll let you in on the secret – WE ARE EXPECTING ANOTHER LITTLE BRUSHNEEN!! Obviously that’s the amazing part – the not so great bit is how sick it has made me. As I write this today I’ve turned 20 weeks and the sickness has let up a bit this morning.…

OUR WEEKEND STAY AT TREVORNICK, CORNWALL | Review

As a child some of my favourites memories were our holidays to Devon in a static caravan – and for Ell, although his family stayed in Cornwall.

This is the first in my series of weekly uploads to document this pregnancy. I would love for you to let me know if you are expecting too in the comments. How far along? 12 weeks How big?

A Special Announcement…A Rainbow Pregnancy

…The newest (and final) member of Team Brushneen is due in November 2018! You can watch our announcement video here: It feels like we have known, and been keeping this quiet forever. I honestly didn’t think when I took a test just before we went to Disneyland Paris in March that it would be positive – mostly because we had only just started trying, and with Mason it took 4/5 months for me to fall pregnant. I’ve honestly never been so excited to see the word ‘PREGNANT’. I will be documenting this pregnancy over here on my blog and via…
