I did Tough Mudder and survived!

7th October 201910th February 2020
Tough Mudder before

If you know me personally you know that I am not  particularly fit and haven’t used my gym membership since February and in fact have only been three times  before that.   I can’t actually run for 5 minutes without having to stop and walk to get my breath back! So it  may come as no… Read More

Thirty Five and how I feel about it.

30th January 201929th January 2019
Lauren thirty five

A few days ago I turned thirty five. It’s weird because I still don’t really *feel* like an adult yet I most definitely am one. I mean 35 is normally a whole new age bracket to tick on forms right? If I got pregnant now I’d be a ‘geriatric’ mum (no plans to though!) I… Read More

All about me in Autumn

9th November 201810th February 2020

So this was originally the ‘October Blogging tag’ or something along those lines, so I’ve changed any mention of October to Autumn and am rebelling and posting this in November. I love reading things like this on other blogs as a great way to find out about the blogger, so if you’re new to Scrapbook… Read More

If Money were no Object, this is what I’d change

21st June 201810th February 2020

If I won a substantial amount of money somehow these are the five small changes I would make… Every day I would wear new knickers, and if it was a sock-wearing sort of day new socks too. There is nothing quite like the feeling of pulling on new underwear! I appreciate this is fairly wasteful… Read More

Is 18 Goals for 2018 too many?

2nd January 201810th February 2020
Swanbourne Lake

Is 18 goals too many? Yes, possibly. Probably in fact. So I am looking at these very much as potential aims, things to work towards, not things to stick to like a regime. I’m not going to be too hard on myself when I inevitably don’t succeed in a few of them, because that’s life… Read More

Why I’m not sad about my kid starting school- AT ALL!

5th September 2017
why i'm not sad my kid is going to school

All I’ve seen these past weeks on social media is people getting upset about their kid starting school for the first time. Endless posts about new shoes, sports kits, dry runs of the journey to school and at first it made me worry that I’m not normal. I don’t feel at all sad about Athena… Read More

I Quit my Job

21st April 201720th April 2017

I quit my job. Today I handed in my notice to the company I have worked with for over 15 years, and it felt GOOD! I’m going to be blogging/freelancing for a living now and I couldn’t be happier! I was doing one management shift a week and then helping out on the odd shift when… Read More

Bedtime Shenanigans

6th February 201710th February 2020

A few weeks ago Sarah at Boo, Roo & Tigger too tagged me in the Bedtime post (here’s hers, she’s a cold side of the pillow seeker like me!) and sometimes I love to have a set list of Q’s to answer, it means I can write something fun without too much thought!  So here… Read More

Reflecting on a year of being a mum of two, or “for f*cks sake”

8th April 201610th February 2020
being mum to two

I’ve been a ‘mother of two’ for just over a year now, and amazingly have managed to keep everyone alive, health(ish) and happy (mostly). I can’t say it’s been a breeze, because some days it’s been really bloody difficult. My top three sentences in the last year have been:

Fashion: A breastfeeding friendly dress & Bo and Bel

12th February 201610th February 2020

I’ve been meaning to start posting more outfit posts for ages now, partly to give myself a reason to dress up a little and partly because I actually have a few nice breastfeeding friendly outfits that might inspire someone looking for boob & baby friendly clothes!

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎽 Two little runners 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎽 Two little runners after their first race, the #Arunners junior mile along the beach ⛱️ Arlo shot round way ahead of Athena and I so I got a blurry action shot of him but not much else!

Sam did the longer 5 mile run along the sand whilst the tide was out but we walked home via the shop for congratulatory ice creams instead of waiting for him as it was well past bedtime by that point!

Ad|gifted🃏🦗🌈 We've been playing #Mantis a Ad|gifted🃏🦗🌈 We've been playing #Mantis a lot recently, it's a new game but has quickly become a firm favourite, with us and the friends we've played it with.

Each game lasts around 10 minutes so it's great to play whilst dinners cooking, but you might want to carry on during dinner as it's a little addictive and you'll end up playing a few rounds 🎉

The aim of the game is to score ten points first by collecting sets of coloured cards. Easy right!? No, because other players can sabotage you and steal your cards for themselves (but, you might have the chance to steal them back!) 

It's really easy to pick up and Arlo managed to beat us all on his first time playing 🤪 another plus is that's it's very portable and you don't need too much space to play, so perfect to take to friends houses, restaurants and on holiday!

It's from the team who bought us #ExplodingKittens and you can purchase this and other games from explodingkittens.com 💥

Jumping into the weekend 🤸🤸🏼‍♀️ Det Jumping into the weekend 🤸🤸🏼‍♀️
Determined to switch off this weekend, I've been flat out at work for the past two weeks & worked a lot of last weekend too. The problem (which is also a positive) with working freelance is that you can do it anytime but it doesn't necessarily mean you should 🤪 
We're spending time with friends, doing some gardening and hopefully some cross stitch on the new garden sofa I spent hours putting together yesterday!

🌊🐚 beach babies The one time I can (almost 🌊🐚 beach babies 

The one time I can (almost) guarantee no squabbling, no asking for snacks and potentially even to be left alone is at the beach. 
I didn't bring swimming stuff, a change of clothes or sandals but that didn't stop them going for a swim!
