So.... by "keeping fit together" I mean the kids keeping fit and we are trying to get fit again! I've always been pretty active with sports and dancing, but 4 kids and 3 c-sections later.....I am nowhere near as fit as I want to be. It's pretty tricky finding time to exercise and prepare meals [...]

Father’s Day Gift Ideas
Father's Day is coming up! I don't know about you, but I find it really hard to come up with some new and different gifts for Father's Day. While I've been thinking and looking I've come across a few things I thought I might share! Hopefully it will help you out too! A Memory Book [...]
When did he grow up??
I have just had the loveliest little chat with my boy! I have mixed emotions right now. Tomorrow morning I drop him off at school for his first residential trip! When did he grow up?? How is he old enough to stay away without any family?? Eeeeekkkkk! I am so excited for him (really, I [...]
Monkeying Around
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 [...]
Relax?! Say what??
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 [...]

“How do you do it?”
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 [...]
Back to school and school placement!
What a morning! Back to school and nursery today. I failed to get everything ready for this morning last night, so this morning was more of a rush than it needed to be! I'm not really a morning person, especially when I have to get up earlier than I would like to and get me [...]
