Yesterday marked six whole weeks since I started this blog. In all honesty, it feels like longer than that (in a good way!) I have to say, I really love it and I wish I had started earlier. Looking back now, it’s hard to understand why I didn’t. Before this blog, I had a Tinker … Continue reading

My boy’s graduation
If you have read this blog before or follow my social media, you will probably already know that Monday was Nathan's graduation. As Proud Mummy Moments go, graduation is definitely right up there.

A week of smiles (#4)
This week there has been a lot to make me happy. Here are a few highlights in no particular order. It's half term! And not just for the kids, both me and Mr Totsy work in a school so we are on half term too. It's been a very busy term work wise, with not … Continue reading
An unexpected side-effect of blogging
Since I started this blog I have begun to realise that my usual quick snapshots aren't really up to scratch. When I started this blog I didn't think it mattered that my photos are usually a bit rubbish and I thought I would be unapologetic about my blurry snaps.

The school disco and the joys of an over tired child
Once your child starts school, you will immediately realise that there is a huge amount of admin that comes with having a school child. It is almost a full time job. Every day there will be a handful of letters requiring your attention some just for information, some with forms to fill in and there … Continue reading
The no-chocolate month
I gave up chocolate on the first of October, so as this is the 11th day completely chocolate-free (well, except for a piece of cake on Matty and Nathan’s birthday, but that doesn’t count, right? Because a) it was just cake, not actually a piece of chocolate and b) everyone knows birthday cake is calorie free … Continue reading
A week of smiles (#2)
I always like to count my blessings and I feel lucky there is always something to make me smile. Here are just a few things that have made me happy this week… We are getting a new kitchen! We moved into our house a year ago and always knew we were going to have to … Continue reading
