Parenthood, Lifestyle & Me!
Sunday 6th January 2019 was a big day in our household. About a week before, Charlie mentioned everything looked fuzzy to him and he was getting pain in his head. I, like all mums said ‘lets give you some calpol’ and hoped it would clear up, he did have a head cold and crusty eyes. …
Dry January?? We are all familiar with the phrase and yet it screams restriction – cold turkey! I for one certainly indulged on the booze over the festive period but I didn’t sit in a chair on my own drinking from a bottle. I enjoyed a glass (or 4) of fizz during social gatherings, parties, …
January 7th – back to school runs, mum life (not that I got a break over Christmas, let’s be honest) and cracking on with the New Year. I’m a bit funny with New Year, it doesn’t officially start for me until the children have returned to school, it just doesn’t feel right. So we finished …
Life has been a blur of Christmas festivities, mince pies, coffee dates, nativity performances and so much chocolate. But, I’ve loved every second of it this is what December is all about and I for one, do not want it to end. I’m one of those people who absolutely loves the build up to Christmas …

Receiving a stocking from Santa was the best part of Christmas for me when I was small. As an adult I still get that real excitement when putting together presents for my children’s stockings. I have found some lovely gifts this year that I will be adding to their stocking, here is what is on offer. …
I find choosing presents for my children as they are getting older such a challenge. This year they have only asked for 2 items each (cheap Christmas for me!). As well as finding gifts for my children I also have the task of shopping for family and friends with young children. This year’s Children’s Christmas …
Keeping Christmas simple this year. I don’t know what happens to you when you have children but you just want the best of the best for them and this includes the perfect Christmas. We’ve had lots of wonderful Christmases, the children have had a big pile of presents, we’ve gone through all of the Christmas …
Pamper plans for Christmas – how silly does that sound? I don’t know about you but, I think Christmas is the perfect opportunity to glam up and treat yourself to a manicure. I realise that this might not seem a luxury to most, however for me this is a massive treat. I do paint my …
