We are definitely not a family that makes a big deal of things like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. For us, it’s just like any other day with chores and mouths to feed. But for some reason this Father’s Day was so much better than previous ones. Two of the girls had made bits for Hubby at school. …

Seeing as it’s Father’s Day today, I felt it quite appropriate for my Sunday photo to be of the main man of our household, technically the only man unless you count the cats. This post is for him on Father’s Day! Thank you for… Forever being there for us Always being able to make our broken hearts whole again Trusting …

Our favourite family theme park is most definitely Paultons Park and there’s no secret about it. We love the variety of things available. We recently received a Royal Invitation to the Grand Preview Days of the two new rides in the Peppa Pig World part of Paultons Park. The girls were thrilled. Sadly P1 was still suffering with chickenpox so …

I’ve been wanting to share my favourite Instagram accounts for a while now but never really had the courage. I mean how do you honestly whittle the 1,000+ Instagram accounts that you follow down to 5 or 10?! In no particular order here are my absolute favourites, I am also on Instagram so please follow me too!! Renovation At No …

To my Princess 2, It’s your fifth birthday today and I think I’m in slight denial about it. I had picked some nice posed photos of you smiling innocently, but actually these photos speak more about your personality. This past year you have grown in personality. Big changes happened where you went from being a little nursery go-er to a …

It has been all about change this past month. The girls have been a teeny bit neglected and we’ve barely had any fun moments due to being consumed by decorating our new house in time for our move. But we some how made it to the other side alive. P1 doesn’t deal with change very well and this past month …

To my Princess 3, We went a little over board with presents for your birthday this year. Turning three seems like such a big milestone for you. My last baby. Everybody got up really early to celebrate your birthday with you and watch you open all of your presents. You have really changed this past year. I feel like the baby …

Father’s Day is probably the only celebration of the year that I really struggle with. I mostly end up forgetting about it and having to print off a printable card from a random website. But this year, with the thanks to Hallmark and Tesco, they’ve reminded me all about Father’s Day and even helped me get prepared. Tesco have a …

Following a day of feeling numb and confused after England experiencing another terrorist attack, I felt like I needed to just get out. Which is slightly strange as I am worrying so much about crowded public spaces now. This week the weather is glorious. I’ve dusted off my summer shorts and crop tops even if it may only last a …

Over the last 50 years, there’s been a real shift in how things work in the home. Previously, women (mostly) stayed in the house and men went out to work – but, as we know, that pattern is changing dramatically. Nowadays, both partners are responsible for childcare, chores and errands. More than 200,000 British fathers are stay-at-home-dads, and a great …

After nine very long days without P1, at 6pm tonight I picked her up from the usual location and took her home to be reunited as a family. She was ladened with gifts for P2, P3 and even hubby and I were shocked to receive a present each. I woke up this morning with such a strange feeling. It was …

Losing my Nan was the worst thing to ever happen to me. I felt an emotion that I’d never felt before and I’m scared to feel it again. I can’t even describe the way it felt. I felt the same thing last night during my dream. It was so real and so terrifying. My Nan was in my dreams, in …

Today we ventured into the big wide world for the first time this holiday. It was hubby’s idea so as you can guess it didn’t cost very much just the petrol getting there. Hubby found a little place when he was out getting new wheels for his car. He described it as a “water bit that the kids can splash …

As you may have guessed by now. We love receiving products. It’s become a really enjoyable part of my blogging experience and I still feel so lucky each time I get a product arrive at my door for the girls. (Want me to review something for you?) Our latest scrumptious product that arrived at our door was the SmarTrike Dream …
