The beautiful, funny & unsightly truths about raising 3 year old twins & an 8 year old singleton… with one on the way!
Baby Bear is now 2 years old (his birthday was a few weeks ago, but we’ve been real busy). TWO! How did that happen? It seems like only yesterday that I was blogging Baby Bear’s birth story and wondering, “Will I be able to love a new baby as much as my existing children?“ I […]
Today is our first wedding anniversary. Tinderboy and I got married a year ago today. We eloped to Gretna Green with the children and one witness each and it was beautiful. We are now in a hotel in London, preparing to see Ed Sheeran live at Wembley as part of our celebrations. All wedding anniversaries […]
When you are living a busy family life, juggling parenting, work, blogging, housework, sports, days out and everything else that comes along, it’s sometimes hard to find husband and wife time. Take your minds out of the gutter… I’m not talking about what you do when the children are in bed! I mean finding the […]
We seem to keep jumping from snow to spring and back to snow again! Not long after my post about playing in the snow during The Beast from the East and Storm Emma, we had the Mini Beast from the East drop another load of snow in Gloucestershire. I’d mentioned on Twitter that I’d never […]
I give you my heart, my beautiful, funny, clever, amazing children. There are many moments in motherhood, that overwhelm me with such an abundance of love for my children, that I just want to be able to express it. I can’t of course. Nobody can write that much love. However, during one of those moments […]
On Monday, I woke up to a text message from my girl’s school. It said, “The school currently has no water” and went on to explain that the school might not be open. We were updated a few minutes later with a text confirming that school was indeed closed for the day. A lay-in for […]
Yesterday we wished a very happy 1st birthday to my beautiful Baby Bear. I wrote this post for him to look back on when he is all grown up! Dear Baby Bear, I cannot believe you are one year old already! How was it a year ago that Aunty Kerry and I watched you enter […]
When I blogged that we were looking for wedding venues… I may have been fibbing a little bit. We actually planned our wedding just after we got engaged and kept it a secret. Once we had chosen our wedding venue and started planning the details, we asked ourselves… why wait? Why wait months or years […]
If you thought the title of this post was propaganda or clickbait, you were wrong. One marriage proposal, three birthdays and two divorce’s are just some of the things that have happened in the last few months. To be a little more accurate… One marriage proposal, three birthdays, two parties, two divorce’s, two flights, ten train journeys, […]
You don’t get to choose your family, but it’s not always DNA that makes a family. Any man can father a child but it takes someone special to be a Daddy. Baby Bear… I want to tell you about Mike… Actually, you know him as Daddy. In the beginning, we called him “Daddy Mike” but now […]
