Sharing Family Life and Travel
With Mothers Day coming up it's got me to thinking about my motherhood journey. It's been a bumpy journey, with ups and downs, but a journey that I am very happy to stay on and keep experiencing. I have learnt a lot, changed a lot, messed up lot and questioned what I'm doing...a lot! As [...]
I recently watch the film 'Wonder Woman' - I know, I'm pretty late to the party eh!? What can I say - I’m a busy mum of 4 who doesn’t get an awful lot of time to do things just for me - so I have to prioritise......and nowadays if I do decide to watch [...]
Being a mum is so fun and rewarding .....but not all the time, right? It can be tiring, draining, emotionally challenging, hard work.....but everything we do is worth it. Seeing your children smile, progress and enjoy life - is there a greater feeling?? Motherhood looks different to everyone. Stay at home mums, working mums....some mums [...]
Motherhood - there is so much I LOVE about it....but there are a lot of things about it that are so utterly naff! CONS Broken sleep. Personally I can deal with little sleep ok - but broken sleep....nope! It's a killer! Cold meals. I can't remember what it's like eating a hot or even warm [...]
In the UK we celebrate Mother's Day in March. This year it's the 31st of March. Being a mother is truly a gift. Sometimes it can be a gift you want to give back....but mostly it's a gift that you treasure and that brings you so much joy! I am a firm believer of not [...]

So after a not so great week we decided that we were going to have a fun Saturday! We took a trip to Trentham Monkey Forest. We had a school class bear with us too, so of course we had to show him a good time! The 'to do' list went out of the window [...]
I'd like to start by making a public apology for the volume that has come from our household this week! Much louder (and not nice noises) than usual. Yep, it's been one of those weeks! The kids have all argued and wound each other up like crazy, I've not been able to get on top [...]
Recently, my husband got a new job. With the new job comes 8 weeks of training....in a different part of the country. So while he is away in the week I will be having my respect for single parents strengthened! This week has been the first week. It's gone surprisigly well! Very busy, but I [...]
I often have people ask me "How do you do it? How do you do it all with no family around?" For those of you who don't know, most of our family live in Canada and America, and have done since we got married. The family that still live in England live between a 2-4 [...]
