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 [...]
Halloween - you either love it or hate it....or not really bothered either way!? I, personally, quite like having a bit of fun with the kids. We keep it a bit of fun, nothing too scary - I'm too much of a wuss! Here are some fun things we've enjoyed doing for Halloween. MONSTER CROISSANTS [...]
Growing up means adapting.......I bet you're singing the song from Frozen 2 right now!? Good ol' Olaf! How wise he is. Today I stood and watched Freckled Face 1 walk off to school by himself. He went off so happy, and I mean SO happy. He could have at least pretended to be nervous or [...]
Having your children start school can be a bag of mixed emotions! Excited, anxious, proud, nervous, and maybe even relieved. That's just us parents! The kids are feeling that, and more. They're still trying to understand and figure out the whole emotions thing too. So the whole starting school thing might not actually go as [...]

I have been setting them challenges that they can all do to the best of their own abilities, but [...]
Housework can be so mundane at times! We like to spice it up a bit and make it fun with some music. Here are some of our 'Go To Songs'! (These are not in any particular order.) 1) This Is Me - The Greatest Showman 2) Wake Me Up - Avicii 3) Raise Your Glass [...]
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 [...]
After the older 3 Freckled Faces being off school for 2 weeks, we are now getting back in to the School Run and a few things have stood out to me about our mornings. I thought I would share them in the hope it might make other mums feel a bit better and maybe even [...]
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 [...]
