This year days go by slowly…. the kids go to bed at 7pm and the night flys… before I know it I’m in another day of lockdown… a week ago on Sunday night when “Boz” (as he is known in this house) declared the easing of lockdown- for me nothing has changed. Except I’m now …
Last Friday it was Erin’s 8th Birthday. We had a swimming party arranged on the Sunday and she wanted a day out on the actual day. Obviously neither of these happened so I had to think quick. She was desperately unhappy about the lack of party and seeing her friends so in just two weeks …
It’s the start of the week and we had our food shop delivered, and I sit in desperation every day at 4pm when I realise that it’s just been too full on in lockdown that I haven’t taken anything out the freezer for dinner. Normally I would just have Edith who happily potters around the …
My friend recently contacted me who has a daughter the same age as Edith asking for creative play ideas, so I have put a few together as people seem to be struggling with ideas for little ones that have come out of nursery during lockdown. So I have put together 6 simple crafts to do …
When lockdown occurred I had a hairdressers appointment the week after which was obviously cancelled. Following this my friend/hairstylist messaged me saying we have got your hair where you want it!

If anyone knows me I am a nightmare about leaving my kids with anyone, even for an hour- so I have to know exactly who I am leaving them with and if others will give the person a glowing reference. This makes it difficult to have anyone other than relatives to look after my little …
Finally the seasons have been teasing us and have been showing us a glint of summer. We have had some amazing days in the garden and I have even managed a bit of a tan! As with every year I have eaten too much chocolate or had a baby and my body has changed shape. …
Before the Covid-19 crisis took hold we were gifted an outfit for Erin, Edith & I from Morrison’s fantastic new Nutmeg clothing range. I saved the outfit to Easter Sunday because I love to dress up on special days throughout the year. Even though we were in isolation I wanted this year to be no …
