The Beast From The East As we head into March, we kind of think that nature should just be beginning to wake up; birds are singing, pretty purple and white flowers are starting to grow on Harrogate's Stray. The days are starting to get longer; the lighter mornings are making it that little bit easier […]
Chloe I always knew that you would be my little monkey, you're such a free spirit, and you do keep your Dad and me on our toes. You came into the world 5 and a half weeks early, on the day that your Dad decided he would strip and redecorate our lounge! You were born […]
Relaxing weekend before work and school on Monday! What a fantastic semi-relaxing week, I am feeling ready to head back to work for a rest! But, not looking forward to the manic mornings, getting our three grumpy girls up and out the door - hopefully on time! Friday evening Dan and I headed out to […]
Happy Half Term! As half term draws to a close and we head back to the school/work routines. It has not been as stressful as I first thought it would be! I thought I would never hear myself say that! I managed half term alone without Dan for the whole week! No shouting, fighting, or […]
Good Morning! I have been thinking about this a lot lately about the dreaded lonely Mummy moments. Some people may think, you work full-time, how are you lonely? You are not at home alone all day with children. Well, let me tell you, I have never felt more alone than I have in recent months. I […]
This can't be right?! This weekend has been lovely; I can't remember the last time it was this nice! Not even any screaming like a fishwife from under-caffeinated Mombie, not even any Teenage daughter tantrums, or a squealing unhappy 8-year-old. Relaxing Saturday. Saturday, we got a lie in until around 8.30 am, with no little […]
Hey, January felt like such a long month! I have lined up a few of my favourite products, what I have been watching on TV, and I got a lovely Christmas gift from My Man! I hope you enjoy x Britney Fantasy Intermate Edition. Dan bought me this for Christmas, and I love it! I'm not afraid […]
These boots are made for walking! I am going to commit to making sure that EVERY DAY! I go for a brisk walk during my lunch hour. Making the most of the fact that The Stray is literally across the road. I have had an office-based job for the last two years; I can tell […]
Emotionally I'm done. Mentally, I'm drained. Physically, I smile! Sat at work rosy-cheeked and puffy-eyed! I needed a way to let out the way I am feeling. Here goes! I'm not feeling my best self. Lately, I hate the way I look! Feeling very tired and run down, snap at everyone and the littlest of […]
Pretty Pink Bedroom. What little girl doesn't want a pretty pink bedroom!? Kayleigh has been asking and asking for a pink room for longer than I can remember! But it isn't easy when we rent. I would have loved to have gone the whole shebang, unicorn wallpaper and lots of glitters. Instead, we opted for […]
Saturday The weather was awful this weekend, so we had a home weekend. We don't get a sleep-in on the weekend- I have always been an early riser, I think I got up about 7.30am which I guess is sleep in for me! I usually get up between 6 - 6.30am. Recently, Lex, our little […]
Oh, my days! The myths around terrible twos and the tweens, not to mention the ever so delightful teens! So what is this in-between bit? My youngest has just hit 8 and a half overnight like a switch has been flicked. She is a monkey! She screams, she stomps her feet, and she seems to […]
