Siblings March 2015

My two continue to get on well, continue to make each other howl with laughter and continue to make me smile. The energy levels in our home rise the moment that we step back into the house from collecting Boo from school as they know that they have an hour or so free to themselves …

One for The Husband

It was our wedding anniversary yesterday. We’ve now been married for 13 years, and together for nearly 18 years. When I put it like that, and think back over what we’ve done, what we’ve been through, the places we’ve seen, it seems a long time. Yet I remember our wedding day like it was yesterday, and come …

What Makes A Good Mum?

It’s something that I often wonder. I cannot believe I’m the only one plagued with never-ending mum guilt and worries that I’m getting it wrong. I think I’m doing OK one moment, and then something happens and I’m back to questioning myself again. Am I too strict, am I too easy on them? Am I …

The Sleepover

Boo’s been asking for a sleepover for some time now. With whom, you may well ask? Well, just her little brother, so she won’t be far away! It finally happened last weekend. Whilst the children were eating their tea, I nipped upstairs and pulled out Little Man’s trundle bed and got Boo’s bed ready for her …
