A little less than three years ago, I started this blog. At the time, I had no idea of the adventures it would take me on, the opportunities that I would receive and the money that I would start earning from it. It was a place where I wrote my thoughts and frustrations. Where I documented my […]
Walking along the Southbank during my half an hour lunchbreak earlier started off normal (as normal as the Southbank gets!). There were people on the sand building sand sofas (yes really!) ,and displaying messages with their thoughts on the recent HSBC scandal. There was a man playing a keyboard. There was a bunch of schoolkids, […]
Gosh…I haven’t written a personal blog post for so long that I thought I’d all but given up on it. I sort of ran out of things to talk about. The kids are getting older, life is hectic, and I just really ran out of words and subject matter. Funny how you can go from […]
As a working mum, some days I find it extremely difficult while on others it’s nice to be able to sit and have a hot cup of tea without having to wipe a nose or change a nappy! I know there are a heck of a lot of working mums out there, some love it, […]
A few days ago, an old school friend on Facebook put the following post up: “Just logged onto the Hoop app to see what is on this weekend for my son and these were the first things to come up. Yes it is great for Dads to spend time with their kids and give the […]
Woohoo, I’ve made it to week 4 of the Snapshot Saturday linky over at Super Busy Mum and this week I am actually postig on Saturday! This photo is a bit of a fluke to be honest. Earlier this afternoon I said to the other half and Zach (who is 3!) – which one of you […]
Every now and then, toddlers like to throw something into the mix when you’d got it all sussed. Zach hasn’t had a problem going to bed for a long time. He’s been in his new room a week now and we’ve had no major set backs – a little bit of whimpering and in there […]
Part of my role as a blogger is to be honest. To show the parts of my life that might not be going quite right. To show that not everything is as Instagram says it is. Nobody has a perfect life. All mother’s struggle at times. And it is OK – it is more than […]
Well it took almost 2 years but Zach has now had his first hair cut! We took him to a very special salon called Little Fidgets not far from us that specialises in children’s hair. When you walk in, it is immediately captivating – there is a pretty fish tank behind the counter and it’s […]
Dear nursery, As I was standing in the corridor the other day, looking at the collage of photos that you have put up of all of this year’s leavers, it hit me just how long you have been looking after my boy. It’s funny that when they get to a certain age, you kind of […]
This is a collaborative post Nothing hits you harder than losing somebody you love. Even if you’ve had months, or even years to prepare for the fact that the person you love isn’t going to be around for much longer, the moment they leave you can send your world crashing down and turn your life […]
Today, 4th February, is World Cancer Day. The scary figures that Cancer Research have revealed today are that 1 in 2 of us will now get cancer. That’s 50% of us. Half of us. As I was typing this sentence, I received a text message from my mum, telling me her next door neighbour has […]
OK, so this has been a tricky one to come up with something to write about! Day 10 of #Blogtober17 is jokes. I’m not a natural joke teller myself so I can’t give you a rundown of my best ones and the only one that Zach ever remembers is one from Ben & Holly’s Little […]
I have been lacking in inspiration for today’s #Blogtober topic of teenagers. It’s been a long time since I’ve been a teen myself, I don’t have to parent teens (yet!) and I didn’t think it was appropriate to write a whole blog post about my nephew (who for the record is a pretty cool teen!). […]
