I am sure you have read thousands of peoples ‘ I will be doing this and that’ posts already today. I won’t be saying that I vow to do all of these amazing things because let’s face it- everything is impossible to stick to. There are a few things that I do attempt to do …
Swimming….the urge to let go and let her do it! *no children were harmed in the writing of this post!*
I first swam at the age of 3, I spent one week in Spain in a pool and boom I had got it! Erin has been having swimming lessons since she was two and still can’t swim. She used to love it but not anymore! Today we went swimming with my friend Hannah and her …
Thanks Another year! Our Christmas has been a good one!
It’s done, gone again, another 363 days until the next one! 2016 as a year has been pretty good. Christmas 2016 has also been great. I have learnt so many things this Christmas that I wont be making the same mistakes again. Mistake 1- Not completely prepping myself for vlogmas! Ok it was the first …
The parent divide… Elf on the shelf!
Last year I got on the elf on the shelf bandwagon! It was not something I had thought about but was offered the chance to review one. The Divide- This year I have seen a huge divide between parents who do Elf on the Shelf and parents who don’t. I don’t take the whole thing …
The night owls…
I work part time 5 days a week 9.30-3.00pm. I am lucky to be able to strictly do those hours. Unless I want to make flexi time.

Erin has …
It’s ONLY 6.44am..
It’s 6.44am… I have already had to send Erin to her room. Saturday night I battled with my own thoughts and took her out past her bedtime. I knew it was a bad idea. I shouldn’t have done it. It’s left me with 4 days of hell so far. Monday-was put on the “sad square” …
Hair for kids- 7 day of style!
When Erin started school it excites me as I now get to play “hair” every morning! Many people think I spend far too much time messing with Erin’s hair (yes Matthew I’m looking at you!) but I love it and she loves having “princess hair”. I always try to do a new style every day …
We got there! Half term is upon us!
Well guys after a lonngggg time to what seemed like it was going to be an agonising start- with crying every day, letters coming home and general worry, we have finally got there! The first half term- at first I wondered what would happen when we arrived at this milestone, would I have gone into …
