Hello! First of all, sorry for the massive break in blogging again. I do this now and again when things get a bit much – if work is suer busy or the house is crazy I get a bit overwhelmed and it’s blogging that takes the hit. Anyway, I’m back now and as always with Read More
“Tomorrow, I’m coming back here and I’M going to smell the dead fox, and I’M going to see it.” Ladies and gentlemen, I give you *the* most ridiculous tantrum of all time. It started off as a lovely idea. Let’s make the most of a sunny Saturday afternoon and head to Clyne Gardens in Swansea Read More
For me to voluntarily set my alarm for 5.50am to exercise before work means that something is going right. And yes, it has actually happened. On more than one occasion. If you’d read one of my recent posts, I’ve set myself a goal of putting on some weight. Before Christmas and into the new year Read More
I kind of feel like we haven’t really stopped since getting home from our holiday – it’s been a hectic old month! I’ve been trying to write up our cruise diaries, and have kind of neglected any other kind of post, so I thought I’d just do a little round-up of what we’ve been up Read More
To say my first few weeks of following a food and exercise plan set by a personal trainer was a complete success would be a lie. But then again, it wouldn’t be fair to say I failed either. Let’s go with it being a time of change. If you missed my last post, I’ve taken Read More

To look at me, you might not think I’d need to set body goals for the year. But for the first time I’ve had to, for a few reasons. Before Christmas I was feeling very tired a lot of the time, which is probably not unusual for a mother of two under 3.5 who works Read More
Let’s just start by saying how long January has been – I swear it’s been the longest month ever. Christmas feels like an eternity ago. Anyone else feeling like this? There have been long days cooped up in the house to avoid the rain, and what feels like very little daylight, but at the same Read More
I just walked into the littlest boy’s bedroom after an hour-long bedtime with our eldest, and found my husband on the floor. The scenario sums up the whole weekend. I don’t like to complain, but just thought I’d share for anyone else who hasn’t had the most perfect of two days off work… So, to Read More
Bedtime. Somehow it always comes down to me. Ok. It always comes down to me with the biggest boy. Or with both of them when Stew’s working nights. Or when only I’m good enough for either of them. Let’s just say bedtime is generally my domain. I get home from work just before 6pm, start Read More
