When we decided to go to Cornwall for our little holiday, I knew that I didn’t want to do that complete journey on a Monday. I mean doing any kind of journey on a Monday can be a nightmare so the thought of a good six hours in the car, having to navigate the M25 […]

When I was contacted a couple of months ago to see if we would like to head off on a little holiday to a John Fowler Holiday Resort, it was very exciting. With baby number two on the way, we didn’t think we’d be having a holiday this year and so it was just the […]

This may sound strange but today I felt like mummy. Not the mummy who works full time. Not the mummy that he only really gets to see properly at the weekend. Not the mummy that is dropping him here, there and everywhere throughout the week. Nope, not any of them. Today I felt like the […]
The British public are a real mixed bag. Some are really passionate about the country and place they live in while others spend more time moaning about it than anything else (a real British talent of course!). I know I am forever complaining about the weather (seriously, where is our summer?!), moaning about public transport […]
I cannot believe it’s my blog birthday. Mummascribbles is one whole year old. It was one year ago that I was feeling like I needed to write was I feeling down. Where I felt like I needed to have a place that I could go to when I needed to get something off my chest. […]
We are in the initial stages of toilet training. I say initial stages, we have been at this stage since Christmas. It is a slow process and one I am not keen to rush because I haven’t been certain that Zach is completely ready to come out of the pull ups. It was at Christmas […]
I have been nominated by Hello Archie (thanks so much!) for a Liebster award this week. In case you don’t know, this award is all about discovering new blogs and helping fellow (relatively unknown) bloggers with their readership. As a new blogger myself, I know how much work it takes to get your blog out there and […]
It’s January. I feel like I should be on fire with everything – the blog, my work, the house, life itself. I am struggling however. You could call it the January blues or you could simply call it a lack of motivation. I feel like I can’t get going, that I am finding that nothing […]
I sit here typing from an uncomfortable bed in student accommodation! I am full up on the most delicious Chinese meal I have ever tasted (my stomach looks familiarly like it did when I was about 4 months pregnant!) but I’m about to endure a night on what might as well be a camp bed […]

Do you ever have a sudden thought of back to when you were a child and remember the little things that bring such fond memories it makes you a little emotional to think about? Earlier on I was in the kitchen cooking the lasagne and I thought about the fact that the last time we […]
Today I read a post by the wonderful Aby at You Baby Me Mummy, in which she listed five things that can make your dreams come true. The very first point she made was that even though everyone has dreams, the majority of us are immediately negative, thinking that our dreams can’t be achieved and […]
