Bang! And suddenly it was September!
I cannot believe how fast this year’s going by, even though at one point it felt like everything was in slow motion! Can you believe we are saying hello to September 20 and welcoming Autumn already? Back to school back to work I don’t know about you, but suddenly everything seems to be returning to normal. Ewan has gone back to school (yay!! I think space will be good for both of us!) and this week I am back in the office for one day per week (not so yay – I love WFH!). So it’s back to queuing in traffic for the school run and back to the commute…

March 2020 Update – read and then Wash your Hands!
Well hello there! Sorry for the lack of posts. Here is my March 2020 update post. As many of you might know, we are in the midst of a global pandemic and crisis. I never thought I would be writing those words on this blog. It all seems very surreal to be honest. I don’t want to go on too much about it, but equally, as this is an online log of my life, it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t talk about it. I am sure that in the future we will look back on this time (hopefully) as it will be looking back on a huge piece of…

World Book Day & review of my 2019 reading challenge
As a parent there is nothing worse than a child uttering the words “it’s world book day tomorrow”. Then the pure panic sets in for what outfit to wear. Ewan is almost 15 and I thought the World Book Day days were firmly behind us….apparently not. So I spent some time googling teenage book character; teenage male book characters; easy male book character costumes. In the end, we settled on Archie from Archie comics (the Riverdale character) as it’s effectively a denim jacket, hoodie, white T-shirt and jeans!! No expense spent!!

Mothers Day Giveaway
Mothers Day is a huge day for us mums, and what a better way to celebrate than a Mothers Day giveaway! I am a mum to 3 now mostly grown-ups – my youngest is 14 but eldest is now 20!!! (even I can’t believe it!). Oh, and I am also a fur mum to a 3-year-old Jack Chi!! It doesn’t matter how old your offspring are. You are a parent from the day they are born for the rest of your life (scary I know!). I can honestly say it doesn’t get any easier, in fact, it seems like a different day and a different set of problems and challenges,…

Happy New Year 2020!
Hello, Happy New Year for 2020 to you all!! I cannot believe how fast December went. Scrap that I cannot believe how long the last decade went! I decided to have a bit of time away from the blog (last post here if you haven’t already read it) and haven’t posted a lot on social media – work was hectic at the end of the year and with Christmas Prep and birthdays to sort it all got a bit much. Much as I would like to say I have had a lovely break, I did miss posting on here and instead I kind of just end up resenting the things…
