“I am physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted” were the words I said to my kids tonight when I was getting them ready for bed. And I meant every word of it. I’m drained. And I know I’m not alone. I was only thinking the last few days, that nobody shows the shit behind the scenes. […]
On Monday, the very first day of the Easter holidays, the other half had booked the day off work and we had arranged to meet up with a couple of our friends and their kiddies. Originally we were set to go bowling, but with a couple of smaller kids, we figured it might not be […]

I can’t cope. My emotions are on edge. Every little thing to do with my kids is leading me to have tears forming in my eyes. There is just so much going on with them that makes me proud, makes my heart burst, or just leaves me feeling emotionally unstable. I mean, they like to […]
I have always been a shy type. I was the girl who used to hide behind my Mum’s legs when she stopped to talk to someone in the street. I’m the girl who has always found it so hard to walk into a pub alone. I’m the girl who finds it really hard to start […]
“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” I have missed a couple of weeks of this. With a mixture of illness in the house and entertaining our loved ones for the first time in ages, I just haven’t got round to sitting and writing. But here I am, […]
AD – In collaboration with Dayinsure Now, before the other half thinks I am trying to convince him that we need a new car, I am not! Even though ours is starting to feel a little on the small side, it is a lovely car, isn’t that old, and suits us OK. He does know […]
AD – In collaboration with Age UK Mobility If there is one thing the pandemic brought us all, it was the chance to really think about what mattered to us. Not being able to see loved ones for so long made us want to see them so much more. Not being able to go to […]
“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” This weekend we went out! I know right! We hadn’t really made any plans, and then I booked my Covid vaccination which I had on Saturday morning, and so I wasn’t sure I’d be up for doing anything anyway. But when […]
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” I didn’t manage to write this post last week because I had a very poorly Oscar and I was exhausted from looking after him and playing all the Mario he wanted me to play! It was last Sunday night when he […]
I have officially been a stay at home mum for a year and a half now – ever since my year of maternity leave ended and I didn’t return to work. Of course, I was at home before I got to that stage, so in reality, I have been permanently at home with the boys […]
As you may or may not know, we moved house back in February, and with it, we moved to a completely new area 50 miles away from where we were living before. The place we originally moved to was never our desired choice. It was the only place we could afford to buy at the […]
“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” Another week gone by – it goes so much faster when the kids are at school and nursery! This week was one we had been waiting for though, because I had appointments at the barbers for the boys! We have obviously […]
{AD – this is a contributed post} If you plan to sign a prenup or use a dowry for your marriage, it’s vital that you understand exactly what they are and the effect they’ll have further down the line. Take a look… Marriages can be complicated at the best of times. While the romanticism of […]
