If you are here looking for this week’s Twinkly Tuesday, I am having a week off due to us being on holiday. My lovely co-hosts Caro at The Twinkle Diaries and Sadia from the How Do You Do It Blog have it all live on their blogs this week so pop along to one of […]
Ok, firstly, I don’t normally go near the SAHM mum vs the working mum. Everybody has a reason why they are doing what they are doing, we all need to be supportive of each other even if we are a little jealous! When I saw this post earlier by Charlotte at Real Girl Ramblings, I […]
It’s not something I have to think about at the moment because I’m not quite stupid enough to leave Zach home alone at the age of two and a half. I mean, he would turn the hob on (because he’s darn tall enough to attempt it now), try and put toast in the toaster (after […]
Yesterday was adventure day number two and it featured a whole day outdoors. We picked yesterday for this trip because out of the whole week, it had the best forecast and we couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather. Here in Hertfordshire, we have a place called Paradise Wildlife Park. I’ve known about it for […]
It’s when you are out with a child that you see the world for what it is. You see it through their eyes. How the very simplest of things can bring such joy. We think a lot of the time that we need to be doing things that are exciting, that cost money, that is […]
Hello and welcome to another week of Twinkly Tuesday with myself, Caro from The Twinkle Diaries and Sadia at the How do you do it? blog. Another fab week has gone by with some fantabulous posts linked up. Thank you to everyone who joined us ***There seemed to be a bit of confusion last week […]
As I’m off work for two and a bit weeks I’ve decided it’s time to kick start my motivation and get my butt exercising again. I follow the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and also have a subscription to Results with Lucy and am therefore giving them a good mix up over the coming days. […]
Today we meet the lovely Sophie from Mum, M & More. Thanks so much for taking part Sophie Tell me a little bit about yourself and your family I’m Sophie. I live with my Husband and 2 year old daughter Matilda (otherwise known as M). I used to be in the Army as a musician […]
In January, we had ourselves the case of a missing cat. The only time she’d ever gone before was when she got herself locked in a shed overnight and my dad came round with his ladder and climbed the fences to retrieve her (the shed owners were out!). This time she was gone for four […]
Today I have decided that I moan at Zach too much. I feel like I am forever running around from here to there. I am tired, cranky and emotional but I must remember to not take this out on Zach. It’s not his fault that I have to work full time. It’s not his fault […]
Yesterday was a day that I was reminded of how it used to be, back when I was on maternity leave or even the one day off a week I used to have when it was just me and my boy. I always thought that the initial going back to work would be hard. After 9 […]
Tomorrow, my darling nephew starts secondary school (that’s high school to those not in the UK!). I remember the moment when I received the news that my sister was pregnant: I cried. I remember the moment that I heard he had been born: I cried. I remember seeing him for the first time in his little moses […]
When I picked Zach up from nursery yesterday, I found that it wasn’t just him I was bringing home – we were to have a guest for the weekend in the form of Marvin the Meerkat! Marvin is a very funny looking Meerkat, he looks just a little bit scary! Marvin comes with a book […]
It has taken two years. Two long years of trying and failing. Two long years of spitting and shaking of a head. Two long years of refusals and ‘I don’t like it’. Two long years of wasted time, wasted food and wasted money. Tonight, a miracle happened. Tonight, Zach ate pasta at home! Yep, that’s […]
