Laughing my way through being a mum of five
I know you’re probably all fed up of hearing about lockdown, I know I am! We’ve reached day 105 and it’s still officially not over. Although places are starting to open their doors again, it’s not going to be the same as before this happened. If you’re like me and have been at home trying…
The title image of this post appeared on my Facebook timeline this week, and it made me smile. Just recently I’ve become the (slightly frustrated) owner of a couple of picky eaters myself, and it really limits the meals I can cook! If you have any recipes or advice please feel free to add comments!…
I know I’m not alone in feeling some January blues, but it feels worse this time as last year we went abroad. I do remember being slightly stressed about going on holiday so quickly after Christmas, but now in hindsight it was definitely nicer than spending time in the UK! We went to Lanzarote, and…
Jacob only goes to nursery in the mornings at the moment, and I was rather hoping he’d be tired in the afternoons. But Jake had other ideas and requested to go somewhere today. I like to try and come up with different activities so we’re not just going to the same play areas week after…
So the first week of January is done, and most of the decorations are now packed away. People are now finished being on Christmas mode and some routine is finally returning. I’m bumping into friends who are asking the one main question , ” Did you have a good Christmas?” I obviously smile and reply…
My little boy Jacob is the youngest of five, and recently he turned three! This occasion got me reminiscing about his less than straight forward pregnancy, and how things could have gone very wrong…….. You would think after four children, pregnancy number five would have been relatively straight forward. Well that’s what I was expecting…
The summer holidays can seem like such a long time when you’re a parent. The days of the week can all blend together and you’re constantly under pressure to come up with new ideas to keep the little ones happy. You might find yourself wishing the weeks away and willing the new school term to…
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…
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? …
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…
