Friday Thoughts
How are the summer holidays going for you, have you been abroad or had a stay-cation? I can’t believe we only have 3 weeks left of lazy starts and no routine. I’m trying not to think about Charlie starting big school or Amelie going into Year 2 as it is really bittersweet and I just want to soak up our time left together. Having said that, I’m going to be completely honest and say I have now reached the point where I’m absolutely exhausted, utterly drained and feel like there is no escape for me. I know I’m extremely luck to be able to stay at home with the children…

I Chose This Life – Do I Have The Right To Moan?
A post I recently published on the wonderful Meetothermums. From the moment you find out you are expecting your first child life changes. Your world is turned upside down whether you planned your pregnancy or not, fast forward 9 months when you have your beautiful bundle of squishiness in your arms and you are on cloud nine strolling along with your pram, all the well wishes and kind compliments keep flooding in and you are proud. However, if you choose to become a stay-at-home mother you undertake a role of many:- Cook Cleaner Maid Nurse Bottom/nose wiper Agony Aunt Doormat The list goes on and on but you get the idea,…

Is Three The Magic Number?
A recent post I published on the fab MeetOtherMums website. From an early age I knew I wanted to be a mother, I had always wanted a boy and girl although I never picked any names for them but I just knew that’s what I wanted. When I found out I was pregnant for the first time I secretly hoped for a girl and was lucky enough to have one. Life with one child, looking back now, was undemanding, I had one tiny little being to look after and although it felt like the biggest struggle in the world sometimes I can now see how easy I had it. Having said…

Gousto Box – My Thoughts
I am a tad late jumping on the food box bandwagon but I have always wanted to give one a go. There are a few out there and I wasn’t sure how I would get on with it. If you asked me just over a year ago to prepare a meal completely from scratch I would have laughed and dismissed it, however since I started cooking from The Body Coach book I have really enjoyed making our meals from scratch. We very rarely have processed or pre-packaged foods at home any more and we feel better for it. I placed an order with Debenhams for a couple of new bras (stay…

Feeling A Tad Lost
As the title suggests, I’m feeling a bit lost at the moment with regards to my diet and exercise plan. Truth is I don’t really have a plan and I don’t like not knowing what I’m doing. I go through phases of being really focussed where I will plan my meals, have no junk food or treats in the house, I will up my water intake and work out about 4 times a week. This will continue for around 2 or 3 weeks then I will let the healthy eating slip at the weekend, I will have a glass or two of wine and a takeaway to celebrate it is the…

It Has Been Amazing!
I’m sat here with the gorgeous sun shining in the blue sky, you would think it was around 3pm it is not it is 7pm. I am so happy that we have entered into spring but I’m not happy that we have lost an hour and on Mother’s Day of all days. However, I have had the most amazing day. It has probably been the best Mother’s Day since becoming a mum. I started the day at 7am (6am really) with my little Charlie Bear, I left Mr K and Amelie snoozing, when they woke I was greeted with beaming little faces from the children they were so excited to say…

Bored Now!!
I fear this post is just going to be one long moan and I’m really sorry for that but sometimes you have to strip blog posts back to being about real life not reviews, days out, meal plans and jolly photos. For about 6 months I’ve had a headache every single day these sometimes turn into horrendous migraines where I feel sick to the stomach, feel dizzy and generally unwell. I have always suffered with headaches and migraines but have never found out why I’m getting them. Are they hormonal, is it stress/life or is there something more sinister going on – who knows? I have been to the doctors many…
