Mornings with a toddler and a baby

James will be two in a couple of weeks. Which means we’ll be right smack bang in the middle of toddlerhood and the terrible twos stage hopefully coming out the other end unscathed and unscarred.

Basic make-up tips and product suggestions for lazy mamas

Fact about me: I don’t wear makeup anymore. Another fact about me: I should. Sleep deprivation, the inability to stick to a healthy diet and lack of exercise is taking its toll on my skin. Of course the ramifications are psychological too so when I look in the mirror I am not happy with the face staring back at me. Seeing as a good night sleep won’t be taking place anytime soon and exercising is not in the foreseeable future, I am investing in some makeup and most importantly, great makeup tips because I can be incredibly lazy when it comes to it.
