I’ve been sitting thinking today about how much I miss maternity leave. I’ve been back at work for a long time now but I still think back to those wonderful days when Zach and I were at home or when I was part time and had one or two days with him per week, just […]
Well Christmas happened, the new year has passed and tomorrow it’s time to go back to work. I feel incredibly sad as I have had the best two weeks with my boy ever. It’s been so lovely being home as a family and I had a couple of days of just me and Zach which […]
As per usual, on the last Sunday of the Christmas holidays, I lay in bed crying. I can remember doing it last year and I did it again this year. I find it ridiculously emotional going back to work after the holidays; it’s even harder than it was going back after my maternity leave. I […]
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 […]
To put it quite simply, this Christmas has been amazing. I couldn’t have dreamed for a better one if I’m honest, every second so far has been incredible and I still have another week before it’s back to work time. So, here’s a little look at what happened after I broke up for the holidays. […]
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 […]
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 […]
I thought it was about time that I made my blog look better and so I got a friend of a friend to design me a banner and logo for it and also for my facebook page. I have also changed to a different theme and I think it looks much cleaner, less pink and […]
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 […]
Since we moved into our house in April, our main focus has been to complete Zach’s room. In our old flat, his cot was in our room (the only bedroom), the walls were already painted yellow and we stuck a couple of pictures on the wall along with his beautiful banner made by a friend […]
Sometimes when I look at Zach, I can’t help wondering what he’ll grow up to be. He’s too young to tell me at the moment but I have no doubt that if he could, he would be something like an astronaut, fireman or digger – the usual toddler job. But I do wonder what will […]
This morning was crap. This morning made me hate every bit of being a working mum. It’s never easy but this morning was on another level and had me almost bursting into tears on the way into work. I don’t know why this morning I was feeling extra emotional but I just feel like a […]
This weekend was pretty epic – I was supposed to blog about it last night but I was way too tired! It all started on Saturday morning when we drove to our friends’ house for our yearly Christmas get together. Six couples and now a toddler and baby in attendance for a catch up, a Christmassy […]
It’s my last week of work until after Christmas and it has felt like the last week of school when all you really do is have fun! The social committee at my work are pretty good and along with organising the Christmas party this coming Thursday, they have also arranged a Christmas pod off. Each […]
