It’s finally half term and a much needed rest is definitely needed. I absolutely love having my girls off with me and I have these idealistic notions that we will laze about, play games, visit parks and potter around. Some days we do and days like these make my heart sing but, like most families, some…
People often say to me, it must be really tough getting all 3 children up and out in time for Meme to get to school, but, truthfully, it isn’t. I find working to a deadline easier, we have a morning routine and we tend to stick to it. However, getting us all out at the…
The nights are getting lighter and spring is on it’s way. We are all so excited to have our evenings back but there is a little niggle in the back of my mind. We live in a lovely little close with mainly families of young children (all boys mind!) and the ages all range between…
The first month of the year all done. and the first full month as a family of 5. As predicted we have spent it pretty much in a newborn fog but it has been just lovely having our baby boy here with us, he is just gorgeous. As I pack up his newborn clothes that…

Our bedroom has been organised (I obviously mean tidied!), the moses basket is up, baby gros have been washed and a family friendly car has been purchased – much to my husband’s distaste!…
I actually took this headline picture a while back, it was the summer half term and me and Meme were having some one on one time. I’m sure all parents of more than one child can agree that it is hard work finding the time to have some one on one time with each child. Meme…
So Meme’s first year of full time education is all done. I can’t quite believe it – it’s gone in a flash. It’s been a funny old year and I think possibly the hardest year yet. There has been some tough times – it’s not been quite what I expected, definitely a learning curve for…
This has been on my mind for a while and I suppose came to ahead last week after a tough day with the girls (read about it here). Firstly, I want to clarify that my girls are really good, we very rarely have to shout or punish them but the last few months I have…
