Meet the author: Paul Mathews is a 40-something British guy who’s given up his 9-to-5 job in London to become a full-time comedy novelist. Whilst living the dream, he’s off on a book tour to promote is most recent book We Have Lost The Coffee and I am pleased that I am able to host a little chat on one of my favourite topics: books! Read on to find out what the worst advice he’s ever been given is and just why he loves Arthur Dent.
As we have noticed it’s been hot this week. While the temperatures have soared and made for some sleepy babies in the day no doubt, I can guarantee that it has also resulted in restless nights for anyone with young children. For parents this means one thing: hello sleep deprivation!
Most of the time we are asked to review kids items but every now and then an opportunity comes up for a mummy treat. One such opportunity came up to review a candle from the Charming Candle Co and I was sent a Luscious Vanilla Luxury Jewellery Candle to review for this weeks Tried & Tested Tuesday.
The idea is that you have a beautiful candle which as it burns away, contains a little gold foil pounch. That pouch contains a little treat in the form of a charm bead or ring. Their site boasts that there are over 100 different designs available so you’re not quite sure what to you will find.
This week’s #LivingArrows pictures were take as we’ve been having some fun in the sun! It’s been a scorcher here over the weekend and we’ve enjoyed spending as much time outside as possible. It’s been blue skies, sunshine and sun cream all round!
We’ve made a really good start on potty training this week. I’ve been asking if she wants to use the potty on and off for about 6 months now and it’s always been a no, but for some reason on Friday afternoon she said yes! From there it seems to have just clicked so we’re rolling with it. We even had a full day out of the house yesterday visiting the Dad’s for Fathers Day with no accidents so fingers crossed we’ve cracked it! O r
This little man has been struggling witht the heat. He’s a warm blooded boy anyway but the last few nights he has really struggled with settling and he’s ended up in with is. Because he can’t settle that’s meant that he’s kept us all up! Added to a tooth that finally popped through on Saturday (at last!) we’ve had a little big of a clingy boy this week.

The weather has turned and it’s been pretty miserable so we’ve been spending much more time indoors over the past week or two. Unfortunately though this means that with a baby and a toddler, things can start to become a little volatile so we’ve been keeping busy which last week included making our very own fridge magnets!!
Super quick and easy to do, these are relatively mess free so great for any parents that have an aversion to messy play!!
