It’s no secret: I don’t love cooking. When I’m hungry I don’t want to cook; I want to eat RIGHT NOW. And when I’m not hungry I don’t want to think about food; I want to be otherwise engaged. That’s before we even get onto grocery shopping (scream face emoji)...
Read MoreWhy I'm moving back to London

Read MoreThe Pink House in Good Homes magazine
There's no point trying to be cool about it; I'll confess that having my home featured in an interior magazine has been a dream for me since buying The Pink House. So here it is - my 10-page feature in Good Homes' February issue, including a shot of me and my escaping knee...

Read MoreThe Pink House Husband Chooses Art
The Pink House Husband and I always talk about adding to our art collection, but life, Netflix and a complete inability to agree tend to get in the way. Not this time though!
Read MoreThe Pink House on A Beautiful Mess
A Beautiful Mess is, by its own admission, 'a lifestyle company focused on creating happiness through a homemade lifestyle'. Now, anyone who knows me will be aware that, although I can fold an origami animal or two, my lifestyle isn't exactly what you'd call 'homemade'...
Read MoreThe Pink House does Christmas
Then and there I swore to myself (and to the Pink House Husband, but he had his headphones on listening to Have I Got News For You on his laptop) that I would STOP with this blogger Christmas nonsense and let the kids decorate the tree. Hell, how bad could it be?
Read MoreThe Pink House on Apartment Therapy
