A Day Out With Thomas

A Day Out With Thomas

As you guys know the girls and I love getting out and about, trying new things and seeing new places. A few weeks ago we were very kindly invited to go for a day out with Thomas on the Watercress line. For a few weeks of the year Thomas and Friends take over the Watercress line and the whole station transforms into an amazing family day out. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this day out but when we arrived I was so impressed to see all they had going on, the whole station was involved and the kids…

Rumsdale Cottage; a half term Cornish break

Rumsdale Cottage; a half term Cornish break

As you may have spotted on my social media a few weeks ago the girls, Scott and I headed west for a few days in the cornish countryside. I love Cornwall, it’s one of those places that brings back so many fond childhood memories for me. I spent many summers visiting my grandparents in Cornwall, it’s a place I want my children to experience as I did. We were invited down to Rumsdale Cottage by Cornish Traditional Cottages for a few days of family fun. Half term was so welcome; as much as I love having a routine the school…

Be Food Smart with Change4Life

Be Food Smart with Change4Life

As the years go by I have started to take a lot more interest in the products I am using and what is actually inside them, this goes for the cosmetics I use day in day out and foods I eat and feed my daughters. I am a busy working mum and a lot of the things I grab are often for convenience; I love to home cook and bake but as we all know sometimes time just doesn’t allow for this. I find myself reaching for quick easy things, which is fine but I found myself not checking those…

Solving childcare issues

Solving childcare issues

As a busy, working mum to three over the last year the childcare of my three daughters has become an issue that is on my mind a lot. I work from home and often have to be available to travel or attend events in the evenings sometimes at quite short notice. With two of my daughters now in full time school it isn’t always the easiest to negotiate around, I find myself limited to the school hours and it really doesn’t give me all that much time to get things done. I have to turn down a fair bit of work and…

Goodbye February

Goodbye February

With January feeling like the longest month of the whole year and February passing by in the blink of an eye I find myself  taping  away todayin shock that it is now the 1st of March! February as ever has been a busy one; last month I mentioned a nasty chest infection – well it turned out to be pneumonia. Not the best start to my February but at least I got the meds I needed and started to feel better with in days. The girls and I had a lovely well needed half term break, we caught up with…

Lottie Turns 3!

Lottie Turns 3!

Saturday saw my littlest girl Lottie turn 3 years old! It’s quite crazy to think that this time three years ago I was at home cooing over my newborn with two toddlers and now I two children at school and my ‘baby’ is officially a toddler. A lot has changed in three years but we are all happy as ever. Lottie’s birthday celebrations started a lot earlier than I had hoped, she was awake at 1am telling me she was the birthday girl, jumping on me and asking if we could go down stairs yet. Excited is an understatement. Thankfully she…
