Microdiscectomy repair in Springfield Hospital.
I’ve had it done and I’m ready to update you all! As you will know if you follow me on Instagram (@lipsticknlouboutins) you’ll be aware I’ve been suffering with crippling sciatica. Technically, the sciatica is a symptom as it’s a result of back pain but it’s the thing that is causing the most problems. Until… Read more

Sciatica and Microdiscectomy
I haven’t written on here for over a year. In part because I’ve been really busy with what we are all struggling with – COVID does not make for an easy life – and partly because the lower back pain/ sciatica I have had on and off for years has been getting progressively worse. I… Read more

A rite of passage
Warning – Those of sensitive constitution probably shouldn’t read any further. If you are a parent, please read this post and share with other parents. Not because I want to increase the following of this blog, but because more people should know about this! In a class of thirty, there is a good chance that… Read more

Essex family days out.
Maldon Prom. If there is one thing Maldon has that’s pretty much unrivalled, its the prom. We can take the dog along, the kids can play in the park, hunt conkers, play mini golf, or if it’s sunny, play in the splash park. There aren’t many parks that offer the sheer space that the prom… Read more

A family day in London.
Living in Essex, I regularly find myself in the city, due to either work or because I am off to meet friends. As a result, going into town is no longer exciting but rather part of day to day life. The children however, still see London as a treat and probably only go a few… Read more

Brighton with the kids.
We booked to take the children to Brighton on Sunday to kick off the October half term. Thanks to AirBnB we found a dog and child friendly apartment smack bang in the middle of the town centre and right near the beach so snapped it up . We decided to go for two nights and… Read more

Chessington World Of Adventures.
A few months ago we took the four children to Chessington world of adventures. Chessington is fairly close to where we are so we set out reasonably early in the morning in order to get there for when they opened. As you can imagine the children were extremely excited because we only told them that… Read more

Eating in Berlin.
I have been to Berlin twice in the last two months, admittedly there were work commitments tied to this but we did have some free time to spend looking round this huge city. If you have never visited before it’s an absolute must. There is so much history to take in and if you enjoy… Read more

Travelling to Jamaica.
We went to Sandals resort in Ochi Rios in June this year. It was part of a birthday celebration so we decided to go all out and get a butler suite. Neither of us have been to a Sandals before so didn’t know what to expect. We were not disappointed. When we arrived they took… Read more

My First Blog Post
I think 33 is a strange age to decide to start a blog. Most people have a blog already, or just aren’t bothered enough to start one. Furthermore, someone of this age with three children and a business to run surely doesn’t have the time? This week I have unexpectedly found myself in hospital and… Read more
