I haven’t written one of these posts for a good few weeks now but I thought that under the current circumstances, with us all locked up and with no-where to go, I would focus on the happy moments that we have all managed to have. I am not going to lie, I have been wondering […]

Well the boys got up pretty early and I really wanted to go back to bed but it was instantly apparent that Oscar didn’t want that to happen! Instead, they decided very early on that they wanted to have some fun with sink and float at the kitchen sink. Safe to say water ended up […]

Thankfully bath time hasn’t been too much of a chore just recently. It’s always been a bit hit and miss, sometimes Zach is clambouring out and other times he wants to stay in forever. We are always on the lookout for fab bath toys to keep him entertained and when H&A were offering the chance […]

This week we meet the brilliant Danny from the blog Danny UK. Thanks so much for taking part Danny. Tell me a little bit about yourself and your family My name is Danny and I blog at DannyUK.com I live in the heart of Essex and have four kids – Charisma, aged 15, Aaliyah, aged […]

Here’s my hopes and dreams for the coming year. * I hope that Zach continues to grow into the beautiful little human that he already is. As I write this, he is in a blimmin destructive mood, stomping around my mum’s house and being a bit too cheeky for my liking. He’s always been such […]

Those who have been talking about it for a while have been referring to it as the dreaded ‘c’ word. I think that as it’s now the end of November, I can happily refer to it as Christmas. Up until now I haven’t really thought about it, I mean, I’ve bought a few presents (all […]

Well that’s it, Christmas is really here! Today was my last day in work and I’m not back until 5th January. That is 16 whole days at home. 16 days to spend with my two men and our families and friends. There will be a couple of days that the other half has to work […]

I’ve had quite a few new followers recently (hello to you!), so I thought I’d do a little interview with myself for you and those who’ve been with me along the blogging journey so far. Name Lisa aka mummascribbles Age 32 Location: Hertfordshire and London Who do you live with? My partner Dean, our little […]

There’s a lot I want to write – I didn’t anticipate having no time to blog over the last few days but I’ve been running round like a headless chicken buying last minute gifts; cleaning the house from top to bottom; picking up the turkey; realising at 5pm on Christmas Eve that said turkey doesn’t […]

Choosing childcare is a big deal. There are so many options out there between nurseries, childminders, au pairs, nannies. Most people opt for a childminder or nursery but where on earth do you start and how do you make that final decision to entrust the most precious thing in your life with strangers? We’ve had […]

Tell me a little bit about yourself and your family. Hi, I’m Donna. I’ve known my Husband, David, for over eleven years and we’ve been married for nearly 7. We have two children – Athena and Troy – who really do light up our life. We live in Camberley, Surrey and spend as much time […]

You may have noticed that I haven’t been around much. There haven’t been many blog posts – not even regular ‘our weekend happy’ posts. Nothing has happened. I’m not about to announce anything exciting in regards to why I haven’t been showing up. You know when people have been quiet and suddenly pop up with […]

Dear stay at home mummy*, I salute you. (*note this also goes to working from home mums too!) I am a full time working mummy who last week had a poorly three year old struck down with the flu. The childcare that I have in place means that for a lot of his bugs I […]

I have confessed before that I am not the tidiest person in the world. I have a terrible knack for walking in the front door and using the hallway as a dumping ground or piling the coats and jumpers (and lots of other things) on the dining table. I have another terrible untidy confession though…books. In particular, […]
