Today as I type the girls are back to school and nursery and I feel like my life is on the verge on normality again. I get a lot of messages from other parents, sometimes after tips and advice. I am by no stretch of the imagination a parenting expert but I do have children, three to be precise. The answer I give for 95% of queries is .. keeping a routine whether thats bed time, dinner time, tying to get your children to read with you more – I find a routine is key. Children enjoy consistency. This christmas…
So here we are a brand new year and as a lot of people like to see it a fresh start. A love a new years resolution I know some dismiss them but I just am a geek who enjoys setting goals and making plans all year round – new year seems as good a time as any. I really wanted (and needed) a break over christmas and new year so I took it. It was lovely – I didn’t worry about what post had to go live, I didn’t look at my stats, I didn’t check my inbox 7598 times…

Since the girls were born Christmas has become one of my most favourite times of the year! I was never overly big on it until they came along and now my joy comes totally from seeing their excitement leading up to the big day! As I type it’s 10am Bella is spinning around the lounge still in her pj’s (as you should be in the holidays) singing carols and she just fell into the tree – tree is now slightly ruined but it gave us all a bloody good laugh. Tomorrow is Christmas eve and I am sure excitement levels will be…
Day to day you can often find me whizzing around after my children. I will usually be seen carting them from place to place while attempting to keep them entertained/fed/clean but most importantly happy. Happy mum = happy kiddos so what’s behind this happy mumma? CAFFEINE! Good old fashion coffee keeps this ship afloat and I am not ashamed to admit it.
