Doesn’t a week fly by! I have so much to be grateful for, narrowing it down to the detail in one week is a harder task than I thought. There is a lot of excitement in our house at the minute, well from me anyway. My husband tends to air on the side of realism…
Today I feel like I should have done more, I should have spoke out, I’m so disappointed in myself. There are some things I cannot stand, and abuse and racism are up there right at the top of the list. So why didn’t say I something, why didn’t I step in. I can’t believe I…
I’ve been following Polly’s Gratitude lists over at The Enchanted Pixie for a while now, and I love they way she takes a moment each week to reflect on her blog for what makes her life happy and complete. I love the process she is going through appreciating all the things, no matter how big or…
If your new to blogging I’m sure your spending a lot of time getting your head round many things. Getting familiar with your blog platform, experimenting with the look and feel of your site, and learning how you fit into all the different social media platforms to establish your following not to mention blogging etiquette.
If you’ve passed by my blog before, you’ll already know there is a big age gap between Teen and the girls, 14 AND 16 years now we have Tinkerbell. Clearly they don’t have an awful lot in common or enjoy the same toys but it’s still really important for us to enjoy family time together. Sometimes this…
At very much lastminute.com I decided to try and tag along with the #GUMISensoryGardenFun event that was being held at Dobbies Garden World of Chesterfield by #FRANKPR. I’d written it off when the invite first came round thinking ‘I’ll never mange with 2 small children’, which roughly translated to ‘I’m a bit scared, am I a…
So, this week saw our 3rd wedding anniversary. Woohoo! There was a time when I didn’t think I was ever going to be married, let alone enjoy 3 years of it. I’ve been reminiscing by looking at our wedding photos and wishing we could do it all over again (hint: maybe we should do it…
In the Daily Mail this week Deri Robins wrote about the price of putting love before her daughter in this honest article where she talks about leaving the family home and her child for another man. I think it’s fair to say that most of us Mothers cannot comprehend leaving our children for anything, so…
So this will be the last bank holiday before the new baby arrives, and as much as we want her here it’s also a time to enjoy our family just as it is. What better time to be a #MorrisonsMum. I’m really hoping my waters don’t break just yet 😉 I set myself a #MorrisonsMum mission…
This year I have to be organised, the baby is due on May 20th so we are likely to be really busy around Father’s Day, and possibly a little bit tired. What do you reckon? My teen will be in the middle of his GCSE’s and as Father’s Day looms closer, and we’ll have less…
Right ladies, admit it, we like to get our own way for a significant portion of the time, especially with our husbands/partners. The key to this is understanding how our husbands/partners work, and then taking this information and using it to our advantage. You can get most things to go your way, if you understand…
I’m now 32 weeks pregnant and things are getting really hard. I feel like I’m wading through treacle constantly. A short walk to the shops is a major battle with Braxton Hicks firing shots at me all the way. I’m definitely getting in loads of deep breathing practise, it will be a matter of…
Mummy says it’s a special day on Sunday 30th March. It’s called Mother’s Day, and it’s when all the children and their families celebrate their very special Mummy’s and Granny’s. Mummy says when I’m older I can make her breakfast in bed and bring her flowers and chocolates. As I’m only 2, I can’t…
My dear Geeky Husband puts up with a lot from his pregnant wife. Here’s my ‘love is’ list from him. It’s everything I think he would love to say but daren’t for fear of having his head torn off!… Love is….. 1. Having to put a variety of footwear on wife’s feet upon…
OK, I know that’s not the most politically correct blog title in the world but when your 9 years old, that’s the only way you can put it. I grew up with a Mum who suffered from Bipolar Disorder. Needless to say life was quite dysfunctional. Living with a parent who had significant mood swings…
My life has changed such a lot in the last 5 years, but I’m not ever so sure that I have changed with it. I’ve gone from being a fiercely independent single Mum, taking on the world to provide a better life for my son and I to being happily married with 2, soon to…
