Today’s the day of reflection, planning and dreaming of the year ahead. Usually I reflect on my family, reminiscing over our memories (don’t worry a vlog is in the process for this), focusing little on the deeper thoughts of my mind. My happiness stemming from others. My children’s smile and my love for them. However, this year feels different. …
Snow Happy!
There is something magical about experiencing something for the first time. No matter what your age. Whether you’re a baby tasting your first food. A child learning to write their name, or an adult going on an aeroplane for the first time. It’s the same surge of adrenaline mixed with anticipation of the unknown. Hoping that it is everything you …
Mummy Friends or Mummy Foes?
My Mummy friends mean more to me than I could have imagined. They help me find my sanity, feed me tea and love my children. They cry with me, laugh with me, overly obsess over babies with me and love me for me. They are an important relationship in your life that understands EVERYTHING! They can relate …
A Halloween Esque Week!!!
Halloween has always been a bit of a taboo subject in our house. I don’t dislike it and love the idea of having a bit of fun, but I have never particularly joined in with much of the merriment over the years. I have attended to odd party pre-children but other than that I was never a huge spooky Halloween …
Help Me I have No Internet- Sunday 8th October 2017
Please tell me I am not the only one who checks their phone way too much! I unlock my phone and check my social accounts an unknown amount of times a day. Doing it subconsciously without even registering what I am doing half the time. Flicking onto the screen when the car stops. Checking my notifications before I get out …
First Week of Primary School
My Darling Tommy I watched you walk into your reception class today. It’s Monday 4th September 2017, and your dressed in your perfect grey trousers, still crisp, complete with the fresh iron mark down the front. Your black, dinosaur school shoes are so shiny and clean, and look so big and clumpy compared to the summer daps you have …
Our Last Morning Before He Starts School
It’s Monday 3rd September 2017, as I look around me I can see endless dinosaurs and dragons strewed across various surfaces. Baby walkers abandoned, plastic multi coloured balls hiding under the table and jigsaw-puzzles half done on the kitchen carpet. As I look up I can see Tommy sat at the kitchen table eating his third breakfast of the …
Somerset Lavender 2017
Summer is filled with so many wonderful moments. Hot paddling pool days, Ice-cream eating walks and outdoor family adventures. To us, summer is about sticky sun-creamed babies. Bare feet, walking in the grass and endless BBQ’s in the evening sun. It’s a happy time where our family comes alive, venturing outdoors and exploring the new. Like most, we’re more social …
How I fell in love…with breastfeeding
I love breastfeeding. But before I go further, I want to say that this isn’t an overly mushy post about the joys of breastfeeding, its a realistic, honest story of my journey to loving it. In addition I want to add, that feeding your baby any which way that suits you is ok. As a mummy, it’s important to do …
Emme at 12 months!
So my little Emme is 12 month, gosh where has that year gone! We have spent the last few weeks celebrating our baby girl, and treasuring all the happiness she has brought to our lives. She truly is our little angel, so calm, content and happy. A few weeks have pasted and the presents have been put away, the cake …
