Mum Stuff, Lifestyle & Me!
As the title suggests, Gymxiety – anxiety about going to the gym. I know to some it sounds utterly ridiculous to be nervous/scared or feel like you are going to have a panic attack about walking into a gym to work out, after all what is there to feel nervous about? But for lots of …
Sleepovers have come a long way since I was a child. Whenever I was invited to a sleepover it usually involved taking my very old and very thing nylon brown sleeping bag, a change of clothes and loads of snacks for those midnight feasts. We would camp out on my friend’s front room floor with …
Monster mum arrives once a month. She suddenly sneaks up on me and the entire family take cover (I don’t blame them). The daily goings on of monster mum are different from one day to the next, she starts by feeling a little prickly, a bit annoyed and not quite right. By day 3 she’s …
Hello September and hello cosy knitwear! I have been waiting for the air to chill a bit, the nights to start drawing in that little bit earlier and to dig out my Autumn wardrobe. Now I know it isn’t “officially” Autumn until nearly the end of the month but I don’t really care what anyone …

It is nearly that time of year again – back to school. When Amelie first started school I went into panic mode and bought everything. However, as the years have gone on and I am more of a pro at being a school run mum I have learnt to shop savvy and not be so …
Soft play is essentially a padded area for your offspring to go absolutely mental in. I sit here with my black Amerciano straight from the cheap coffee machine, magazines (get me!) and just look at the utter carnage before my eyes. The screams of delight when whizzing down the death slide, the cries of pain …
