Could It Be Time For Number Six??

Posted on July 22, 2019 by Lucy

The summer months are our favourite time of  year, but they’re also one of our busiest times of the year. This is because our three youngest children all have birthdays really close together. Our youngest, Jacob, will be turning three in August, and starting nursery in September.  This upcoming milestone has made me think……..is Jacob…

Men: Aged 15 or 50, they’re all the same!

Posted on July 18, 2019 by Lucy

So, just recently my daughter (who’s almost 15) has got her first “proper” boyfriend.  When I say “proper”,  I mean they meet at McDonalds and flirt which each other via social media! However, this started me thinking; I was married at 21, does this really mean I might only have her for six more years? …

Parenting – Beat Them At Their Own Game

Posted on July 4, 2019 by Lucy

I never expected parenting to be easy, but just lately, the middle two children Charlie and Holly, have been really hard work! They’re aged 6 and 5, and every time they’re together tempers flare— usually over the silliest things.  Car journeys are particularly tedious with loud squeals emanating from the back seats, before we’ve even…

The Last Year Of My Thirties: Upping My Game

The Last Year Of My Thirties: Upping My Game

Posted on July 4, 2019 by Lucy

I recently turned thirty–nine and I’m not too keen on the fact that this is the last year of my thirties! Has a decade really passed so quickly? I remember happily turning thirty, and thinking that this was a good age to be. I was no longer an over-confident twenty-something without a care in the…
