As you read this, I'll be at my Dad's funeral saying goodbye to the man who's been there for me since the day I was born. It feels like a good day to share this letter that I wrote to him the day after he died.I wasn't planning on sharing it as it was simply a post that I wrote to make myself feel better by getting it all out but as I thought about writing a post to share with you today, it just felt right to share this with you.Dear Dad,I can't believe you're really gone, that I really held your hand last night as you took your last breath last night.It doesn't feel real … [Read more...]
The Ultimate Stain Removal Guide….
When they were younger, my children would always be the messiest kids in the street. Not because I didn't take pride in the way they looked or that I didn't pay attention to their hygiene habits but because I really feel that letting children get messy encourages everything from creativity to confidence.The problem with mess though, is that it comes hand in hand with stains and no matter how much I wanted to encourage the kids to explore and create, I didn't want them to be ruining clothes on a regular basis. Rather than stop them from doing what kids do best, I just became a master … [Read more...]
Would you pay to pre-book a sun lounger on holiday?
I save all year round for the holidays that we have throughout the year so I want them to be perfect when we get there! Even so, I'm not sure I agree with the latest holiday 'extra' that you can now buy with some holidays!Over the last few years, tour operators and airlines have started to add sneaky little extras on to the cost of a holiday.It started with the option to pre-book seats together which on the face of it seems like an OK added extra but then some tour operators started to charge for meals on the flights as well as transfers between the airport and your hotel.Next … [Read more...]
That was…. March!
How is it the last day of March already?At the end of last year, I decided that it would be a nice idea to do a post once a month giving you a bit of an update on our lives. I was looking forward to this month as we had so much planned but unfortunately it didn't really go according to plan.I'll get the nice news out of the way first....We started the month under attack from the #BeastfromtheEast which meant that the kids had four days off school and I had three days of working from home. Obviously, this was the best thing ever as far as they were concerned - or at least it … [Read more...]
Learn to take ‘Me’ time when the world around you doesn’t want you to….
Today I wanted to share a quick post to share a few ways to take some time for yourself when it seems like the world around you just doesn't want you to...There are lots of reasons why you might feel as if the world is against you taking back a little time just for yourself - it might be because there's so much going on with everyone around you, or that someone or something is demanding your attention more than normal. It could even be because you feel guilty about taking some time back just for yourself or that you feel you couldn't possibly squeeze in 20 minutes here and there as you … [Read more...]
25 ways to use up bananas….
One question that I've seen come up at least three or four times in our Facebook group is the question of how to use up bananas so today I thought I'd share a few ideas!Bananas are one of those things that I buy every single week when I do my food shopping. We all love them and as well as eating them just as they come, we also use them for everything from mashed on toast to sliced up on porridge.The problem is when they go from lovely bright yellow to brown speckled because the kids have a thing about eating them when they start to go like this (as do I if I'm honest). … [Read more...]
