You know how when you go to a toddler class, a birthday party or a sports group and there’s “that one child”? You know the one. The one that if you’re being kind you’d describe as free-spirited, or on the other hand you’d describe as feral? Turns out that child is ours. For months now Read More
I thought I’d write something a bit different tonight, and share our Joe Wicks inspired weekly family meal plan. If it was down to me, none of our meals would be planned in advance because I’m just not organised. It would be a case of me running to the shop every day to pick up Read More
Pumpkin picking has become a little autumn tradition of ours, and one I really look forward to. There’s nothing better than heading out as a family on a sunny autumn day, armed with my camera and the aim of choosing a load of pumpkins to decorate. The past few years we’ve tried a few different Read More
If you follow me on Facebook, you might have seen that this morning I wasn’t really feeling myself. I didn’t sleep very well, so I was tired, a bit grumpy and generally lacking in enthusiasm … a bit ‘meh’ as I put it. There was nothing particularly wrong with me, I just wasn’t feeling great.

Do you know what I’m guilty of? Apart from driving around for far too long with the petrol light on, eating Nutella out of the jar and never quite getting around to moving the pile of clothes from the bedroom floor to the wardrobe. I’m guilty of taking myself far too seriously. I don’t like Read More
Hello hello! And welcome back to the worst maintained blog in history! I’ve been so busy with work, looking after the boys and googling rose gold watches (a necessity) that I just haven’t had time to write anything for a week. And I’d set myself a blogging schedule too … hey ho, such is life! Read More
This is another one of those eye roll if you don’t have children statements, but how on earth is it the end of term already? I’m sure it was only a few days ago that I dressed our biggest boy in an oversized polo shirt and trousers, hugged him as tightly as I could and Read More
So, camping… If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you’ll have seen that a few weeks ago we had our first family camping trip. I was apprehensive to say the least. Four of us in a tent during a heat wave. What were we thinking?! Well, let me tell you now that I’ve recovered Read More
