Those big green eyes…all the better to want it all with

November 27, 2018 / wrenandsquirrel / Leave a comment

So when I was in Year 12/Lower 6th (or 16-17years old for all you none english schooling peeps) I desperately wanted a pair of red and black faux snakeskin peep-toe heels. They sound stunning I know! Sadly for you all that unless you purchased your own pair in 2000 at your local River Island, then … Continue reading Those big green eyes…all the better to want it all with

Hot tubs in a field…it works

November 4, 2018 / wrenandsquirrel / Leave a comment

You know what else works... watching great films from the 90s with huge american sized mugs of tea and flapjack cookies, with a blanket over you and your school friends legs in one of their living rooms. Or laughing so hard at a story in outdoor hot tub, you throw your head forward in a … Continue reading Hot tubs in a field…it works

Popping in

September 30, 2018September 30, 2018 / wrenandsquirrel / 2 Comments

For September I have been walking a lot. 108 miles to be exact. Some of these miles have been walked along beautiful beaches and others through dewy, light glimmering woodland picking up red and gold leaves and conkers as we went. Others were spent pacing out the days anxieties and stresses with a friend in … Continue reading Popping in

An ode of gratitude to Parks and Crackers

August 31, 2018September 22, 2018 / wrenandsquirrel / Leave a comment

I mean it You guys rock, take a bow,  you small but amazing wonders. This summer has reminded me that you, my friends, are lifesavers. And lifesavers is the right word-you were there at the beginning of my walking and eating life and you are still here now. Like the circle of life, instead of … Continue reading An ode of gratitude to Parks and Crackers

Oh you wonderful Midlands women…

August 17, 2018September 22, 2018 / wrenandsquirrel / Leave a comment

I am originally from Brum...and so very proud of it. I grew up in the Westcountry-which I also love A LOT! But my roots are firmly in the Midlands, and it was evident to everyone around us in Somerset that we were not a local family. When my mum yelled; 'Jenniiiiiiiiiiii can I have a … Continue reading Oh you wonderful Midlands women…

What do we think of when we talk about being broke

August 12, 2018September 22, 2018 / wrenandsquirrel / Leave a comment

It rolls off the tongue 'Sorry I can't do that I am so broke/skint/poor right now'-actually in my case saying no to things doesn't roll off the tongue as easy as it should. It's a phrase that many say, and it means different things to everyone. Our understanding of what 'being poor' is can vastly … Continue reading What do we think of when we talk about being broke

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

August 7, 2018September 22, 2018 / wrenandsquirrel / Leave a comment

You helped me navigate this journey of motherhood when you were struggling with not being a mum. You let me share my worries and concerns and took such care and kindness to listen and encourage when I also represented a life/dream lost. You helped me celebrate the milestones and brought light and humour when your … Continue reading Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Long hot summer

July 26, 2018September 22, 2018 / wrenandsquirrel / Leave a comment

I have just goggled songs with 'hot' in the title from the 90s/early 2000 and came across Nelly's 'Hot s#*t' which is frankly a pile of misogynistic crap...it does have one redeeming feature in that it uses a rap from the movie 'Big' starring Tom Hanks, which is one film I loved not simply because … Continue reading Long hot summer

It’s ok to be scared

July 18, 2018September 22, 2018 / wrenandsquirrel / Leave a comment

Lots of things freak me out: small enclosed spaces big insects (except crickets they are fine...probably thanks to Disney and the noise they make, its nice and you know where they are, they aren't sneaky) the idea that I can be watched through my computer large waves (yup dreams of being a surfer or sailor … Continue reading It’s ok to be scared

2 became 3…how did that happen?

December 2, 2017September 22, 2018 / wrenandsquirrel / Leave a comment

So you may be aware of  the fact that until a few years ago Mike and I were pretty much set on not having our own children. We were fairly open about our decision, so much so that when I shared we were pregnant A LOT of people thought that it was an accident/unplanned. Despite … Continue reading 2 became 3…how did that happen?
