This Lockdown Life

6th February 2021

This time last year I was heading back from America, where Sam and I spent 5 glorious child free days in New York, our first kid free holiday ever. And boy have we made up for it by spending the next 365 days with our kids 24/7 practically, bar the time when they were actually… Read More

How to choose the right childcare for your family

14th October 201910th February 2020
Choosing childcare that works for your family

This   post is written in collaboration with childcare.co.uk, all words and opinions are my own. We have used a few different types of childcare  over the years, from a private nursery to a child-minder, preschools and  after school club. Childcare.co.uk is such a useful resource for finding the childcare you need and you can find… Read More

Would I terminate a pregnancy with a Downs Syndrome baby?

6th October 201610th February 2020

I, like many parents I expect, watched Sally Phillips last night on BBC’s A World without Downs. I had heard her chatting on the Scummie Mummies podcast a couple of weeks ago about her family life and the program, and why she wanted to make it. Sally has three sons, one of whom, Olly, has… Read More

Two under two, it’s not that hard…

1st May 201510th February 2020

… apart from when it is really sodding difficult! The first month with two under two went something like this… Week One: Glorious. Those new baby hazy days… snuggles, feeding, having a toddler who is excited by the new baby and a husband who is on paternity leave and who prepares two cooked meals a… Read More

Things I am looking forward to this year

2nd March 201510th February 2020

I meant to write a post like this at the start of the year, but then things got in the way and suddenly we’ve just started the third month of the year! Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed thinking about the future, how will I cope with two babies under 2 years old. How will… Read More

Thoughts: Body Confidence

27th July 201410th February 2020
body-confidence

 I can’t work out whether I am more or less body confident than I was pre-baby. I think I am more confident, well, most of the time. My body is definitely different, I have bigger boobs and a saggier belly. My legs are much the same size wise but I have faint stretch marks on my… Read More

My blogging history and tips for new bloggers

15th July 201410th February 2020

I started blogging publicly on Blogger in 2011. My online presence started way before that though with a Diaryland diary, then moving to Live Journal in 2000. Sadly that is no longer available as I didn’t log in for over two years, I would’ve shared a few teenage-angsty posts otherwise! I began reading blogs and… Read More

Put ya feet up! 👣 (Ad|Gifted) I put my feet up Put ya feet up! 👣
(Ad|Gifted) I put my feet up today, with a good book, a hot cuppa and some chocolate malted milk biscuits. With so much going on right now (homeschooling, impending house move, sorting removals, chasing solicitors, work, so on and forth) it was nice to switch off for a while, won't happen again once the kids are back at (home)school next week! 
These very cosy slippers from @bedroomathletics are ideal for me, they have a furry lining, suede uppers and are as comfy as you can get- perfect for all these days at home and ideal for standing packing all my boxes as they have a moulded foot bed- this old lady needs to support her feet these days!

Happy birthday to my partner in crime @bigmanruns! Happy birthday to my partner in crime @bigmanruns! This was a wonky self timer snap on our trip to Scotland in October in front of a very pretty and absolutely deserted waterfall! (still so thankful we got to go on that trip) 
I've got hardly any photos of him recently apart from ones where he's asleep with the cat, or being pissed off the cat has leapt on his keyboard and wreaked havoc. Anyway,  happy 33rd Sammy!

5 years ago we'd just got home from the Alps. Arlo 5 years ago we'd just got home from the Alps. Arlo was 10 months old, Athena was 2.5 and it was the first time either had seen proper snow 🌨 Arlo was either carried by me or pushed by his sister in a snow buggy, we at lots of French crepes, Arlo ate lots of snow and we had a blast. Best of all we were on holiday with a bunch of friends! Boy, do I miss holidays, and seeing our friends. Swipe for my faves from that trip >>>

5 things that made me happy this week... 👌The b 5 things that made me happy this week...
👌The bedrooms in our new house have smoothly plastered walls, not artex like we've been staring at here for 5 years.
✌Sam's been on annual leave this week so we've tag teamed with home school. 
🤌 this also means he's been cooking lots of nice things.
🙏 Our buyer has said we can move out over 2 days- makes life a lot easier in a pandemic.
📦 we've packed a few boxes so now I don't feel so daunted by the whole thing- though I do wish we had a completion date! (Mid March apparently) 

What's made YOU happy this week?
