So, The Man came home last night at 0230, that’s 02:30am for the 24-hour clock challenged people. (I must admit, I can be 24-hour clock challenged before my caffeine hit each morning.) Therefore, I got little to no sleep as once I’m up, I’m up! And today we are hitting...

Farewell to New York City (NYC)! My last article about my all-too-brief trip to NYC will be on food…specifically breakfast! I love breakfasts and brunches out. So our farewell to NYC brunch was something I had to write about. I’m not one of those “ladies who lunch”. I’m more of a...

I think most of us who have visited New York City (NYC) may have done the iconic Brooklyn Bridge walk. We even made the kids do it with us one time (we weren’t too popular that day). It was similar to the day we made them walk across another iconic bridge, the...

Whenever I think of Brooklyn, I think of Kate Spade, you know “Cobble Hill’, “Cedar St”, “Cameron St” … or maybe, it’s because I’m slightly obsessed with handbags (and shoes). However, whilst I’ve heard of these places by living my life vicariously through handbags – interesting idea – I’ve...

What do you do on your first day in New York City (NYC)? Shop of course! Okay, really we had an excuse. We had flown into NYC on Sunday during the day and had to stay awake until bedtime so we spent the rest of the day walking and walking and walking....

Last year Misses 12 and 10 (then 11 and 9) went on a school ski trip to Courmayeur, Italy. It was an 8-day trip so they were away from home for eight days, EIGHT days, that’s VIII days. BOTH of them together. This means NO KIDS for EIGHT whole days....

When your 9 year old (who is now 10) says to you, “Mummy, they know you so well here, they bring you your coffee without you ordering it!”, you know it’s your local, your hang-out, your place. Over a year ago, my one friend, the delightful Mrs H, introduced me...

The family and I relocated to the UK nearly two years ago, after a seven-year stint in Singapore. We’re here now, nearly permanently, if there’s such a thing. From the 24-hour city lights of London, NYC and Singapore to deepest darkest suburbia (DDS)… OMG, what have we done?! I...

Do you groan out aloud or roll your eyes when your child puts “Journal” on her wish list? Well I d0…especially when it says “Journal from Kikki K” and costs upwards of £15. Then there’s the novelty of writing and decorating that pretty journal with its oh-so-pretty pages that only...

Shy ladies (and gentlemen), this post may not be for you. It’s about the beautiful Yunomori Onsen & Spa, turning 42 and getting naked. Yes, people, this is about my very first...
When you run out of things to say to someone, the inevitable question is always, “so where are you headed for the summer holidays?”. However, I swear, if I...
