Away from it all.

August 12, 2013 by

There is little better than arriving at our favourite family holiday place. Stick in the muds we may be, but I love arriving, being greeted by dogs who remember us, seeing what has changed, seeing what is still the same. It’s such a beautiful farm in a beautiful spot. The first few days are always […]

Sail Away Center Parcs Competition with Tots 100

August 10, 2013 by

Last holiday, my girls spent an awful lot of their holiday knee deep in streams. It’s an appealing way to spend a week or two, there is no doubt about it. They had even more fun, most of them, sailing tiny yoghurt pot lids filled with smurfs down the leat that runs across the cottage […]

Clothing the kids.

August 4, 2013 by

The other day someone offered to let me interview a ‘stylist’ on my blog. I was sat in the hospital with Amelie at the time, her leg up to the knee in plaster looking (as she always does) like a model while wearing a pair of scruffy shorts and an old t-shirt. I told her […]

Proud Parent Moments; School, Gym, Life.

July 29, 2013 by

So we reached the end of term with all four girls in school. It’s been a big half term, what with one thing and another. Fran is (thankfully) on the mend from her op and against all the odd the hole that developed in her palate has pulled back together. She’s still got some way […]

A little light crafting.

July 4, 2013 by

Ah. back on form with some easy pun titles. I just wrote this post once and it failed to save and left no draft. I’m totally cheesed off now. Here is my pretty little button lampshade. I’m trying a new tack to help keep my 40 day cluttering working long term. Not surprisingly clutter has […]

Sponsored Post: Support your teen gaining their independence

July 3, 2013 by

  If your kids are growing into teens you’re probably wondering where the time has gone. Whether it’s make up, parties or cars they’re into, these changes will take a bit of getting used to. Growing up can be a challenging time for both teens and parents, but it’s also an exciting time, where they’re […]

Challenge: New Me

June 21, 2013 by

With 6 babies all grown and born and birthed, we can say with a fair degree of certainty that I’m not looking quite the (ahem) svelte young thing that I once was. *cough* Well, I’m 1 1/2 stone heavier than I was shortly before I got pregnant with Fran which is perhaps not all that […]

Sponsored Guest Post : Managing Life during a Cohabitation Break Up

June 20, 2013 by

The following post is a hosted sponsored guest post and I have received payment for it’s placement. A long time ago, I was once in the position of knowing I could not afford to leave if I couldn’t resolve a relationship crisis and so this topic is close enough to my heart for me to […]

#PinItForwardUK – My love affair with Pinterest.

May 30, 2013 by

In the very darkest days of my life, when there was no colour but blue anywhere in the world, no children but baby boys and no solace to be found anywhere outside my own home, I stumbled upon Pinterest. I must have been one of its earliest users and I sunk hours of bleak, grief […]

Time for more clearing out then.

May 29, 2013 by

You may remember that we were recently busy clearing out the house as part of the 40 days project? It was pretty successful really and an awful lot of clutter left the establishment. I’d intended to get going on a 40 jobs projects, along with a ’40 nice home making crafts’ project, but that hasn’t […]
