I’ve not posted anything for over a week now. I feel a bit crap for not doing anything, but to be honest, there’s not much been happening. K has been off sick all this week so we’ve been stuck indoors. This has upset Toddler and she has been really pushing buttons and boundaries. This in [...]

Inspired by Jennie from Edspire and her “What’s in a Name” posts, sharing her children’s names and what they mean, I decided to share ours. Jake Paul Jake is a derivative of the Hebrew name Jacob, which means “Supplanter, held by the heel”. Paul is from the Latin name Paulus and means “Humble” or “Small”. [...]
Going Eco
April 26, 2013 1 Comment
Ok, so maybe not completely Eco, but I’m finding the older I’m getting the more in thinking about our impact on the environment. We recycle our rubbish, I try to sell or giveaway things we don’t need rather than taking them to the dump and our car has low emissions. One thing I wish I [...]
When should you stop putting your child in a pushchair?
April 19, 2013 3 Comments
The last few days when collecting the children from school, I have noticed a few parent’s pushing their children in pushchairs. Now, there’s nothing new about that on a school run.

Discipline is always a tricky subject and its something I am currently struggling big time with. The older 2 seem to laugh in the face of any discipline dished out to them and I am at the end of my tether and unsure where I go next (always boarding school I guess!) I feel like [...]

Finding a hobby
March 1, 2013 1 Comment
I know, I know, like I don’t have enough to do, but I really think I need to find a hobby. I need to find something I can do that takes me out of the house and allows me to spend some time to myself. The only downside is that I don’t really have any [...]
Juggling act

Ever feel like you’re the star juggler in a show called life? That people keep throwing more balls at you but you have to grab them and keep the others juggling at the same time, and juggle the new balls too. That you daren’t stop juggling because everything will come crashing down, and you simply [...]
