Well I Love Mondays is back, and if you are new to the blog, let me explain what it's all about. On a Monday, I publish a blog post, that includes some of the things that we love at The Ana Mum Diary. I am trying to help get rid the Monday blues with beautiful things. I will virtual shop for your every need. Perhaps introducing you to something that you haven't ever seen or place you haven't been to before. You are in good hands, so sit back and grab yourself a cuppa. Here in Nottingham ... read more

Broadchurch : West Bay
We were in Dorset last month, it was very chilly, but that did not deter us, and we had a bracing walk on the beach. We decided to visit West Bay as the friends we were visiting said it is a perfect location for a walk. They were not wrong, it was gorgeous. It would have been even more perfect if the sun was shining, but we wrapped up warm, and had walked with them and their dog along the huge cliff lined beach. West Bay, and Bridport, are where Broadchurch (ITV drama) was filmed. It ... read more
Fashion for Home : Review
I wrote a I Love Mondays post back in September about Fashion for Home, designer furniture at affordable prices. I was really taken with the furniture, and was amazed at some of the prices available for very design led pieces.

I had my eye on a couple of things by Sean Nix, whose style I really love. I choose two items, the ... read more
Living Room Makeover : Sofa So Good
So, in my quest for a brighter more functioning living room, I have revealed MY DESK and TOY STORAGE.

After much deliberation we plumped for leather again, as its easier to keep clean with a preschooler. I say this whilst hiding felt tips from the little minx! I purchased them from Sofa Sofa. A friend, had recommended the company to ... read more
Living Room Makeover #1
So, I've talked and blogged about it lots, but I wanted to do a couple posts that show the progression, and reasons for my living room makeover. There isn't really anything wrong with our living room, it just needs tweaking to work better for us. The sofas were from our old house, and our current house (we've been here 5 years) is much much darker, and they just don't work. They will be going to a good home though, as they are in great condition still. As you can see from the ... read more
Who’s ready for Autumn Fashion?
Collaborative Post With the 'what season is it now?' being hotly debated over on social media, and London Fashion week set for next week too, I thought I would share with you my thoughts on the matter. To me, the Autumn season, and therefore the big wardrobe swap over from Spring/Summer to Autumn/Winter does not happen on the 1st of September. You see by the meteorological calendar, the first day of Autumn is always the 1st September. Whereas in the astronomical calendar autumn (which is ... read more
