Recently I am aware I have neglected this blog. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to blog, it’s just that life has got in the way. Christmas (which already seems like a lifetime ago!) was so busy, the week leading up to it was hectic, we had a few days away, then all the fun … Continue reading

Belton House – a Christmas tradition!
Back in December 2014 my sister Emma and I arranged for us and our families to have a pre-christmas meet up at Belton House in Grantham. We did not realise then that we were starting an annual tradition! My sister and her family live almost two hours away from us which means with busy lives we don't … Continue reading
Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park
On 4th December me, Mr T, Milly, Tinker and Totsy had a lovely day out at Winter Wonderland. I had booked tickets for some of the attractions months ago and we had been really looking forward to it.

All grown up
The trouble with kids is that when they are little you can't help but look forward to them being a bit more independent. Then when they do actually grow up you just really wish they were little again. Us mums are just never happy are we? This week my twin sons turned 22. Twenty actual … Continue reading
McFly, my girl and me
Last Friday night I went to a McFly concert. I know what you are probably thinking, a 42 year old chocoholic mum of six who likes to be in pyjamas by 6pm on a Friday isn't exactly their target audience. Very true. But Milly is obsessed with them. Obsessed. This stems from when they first … Continue reading
My very first blog post….hello!
So, I have started a blog and here it begins! I'm Nikki by the way and I'm a mum of six (yep, six!) and I've decided to document the madness and mayhem that comes as standard with a big family (or The Circus as we affectionately call it). In case you are wondering what you … Continue reading
