If you have been following me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, then you will probably know about my family's recent adventure in France (and if not, why aren't you following me?) I loved our holiday in France, it was sunny, there was an outdoor pool, we scrambled up mountains and Fidget charged back down them. … Continue reading The thief in the middle of the night

Three things for happy kids
I posted last week about my 10 top tips for happy children. It was slightly tongue-in-cheek. So, on a more serious level, I do have three key things that we live by in our house that I do believe help create an environment that the children can be happy in: Sleep. OH MY GOD. I … Continue reading Three things for happy kids
Meet Botasaur – our newest family member
A few weeks back I mentioned that I had been crafting with the boys...resulting in a slip and slide paint horror show in my kitchen. But we weren't just decorating every body part that boys find HIL-A-RI-OUS, we were actually making two 'cool' projects.

Gotta love a 6 am wake up call. Not
Some days being a stay at home mum is brilliant. You make a dinosaur out of boxes, build forts out of sofa cushions and make picnic lunches to eat surrounded by lego. Other days it is the school run, toddler group or the food shop. Or some days it is like today...a 6 am wake … Continue reading Gotta love a 6 am wake up call. Not

However, it is hard being pregnant sometimes when you are someone who does really love it and savors every little thing about it … Continue reading Revel in it for a little bit
Once upon a time…
Once upon a time a giant girl called Kira was sitting alone. She was alone because she was the last of the giants. The only people who she saw, spoke to and played with were the King and Queen of the Gentlefolke. There was not much food or water in the Gentlefolke's kingdom. The land was … Continue reading Once upon a time…
I saw it…I loved it…I ate it.
Having just completed the Daily Mail ‘how fast can you read test’, with the outcome showing that I could demolish the Game of Throne series or Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings in almost record time… I cant help but recall something that my brother once told me and how endearing I found it. He once … Continue reading I saw it…I loved it…I ate it.
Wordie…as in alternative to foodie
Well, I have introduced myself as a wordie (alternative to foodie!). But it might help to explain who I am a little more. I am British (I’ll be sticking with that as, to be honest, my family history research has revealed that really my family are total mongrels of all nationalities of the GB and … Continue reading Wordie…as in alternative to foodie
Hello
So, I am committing pen to paper…or rather finger to keyboard…and starting my blog. Blog…this word is a noun and a verb. The definition of a blog is a regularly updated website, typically run by an individual and written in an informal style. To blog (blogging to blogged) is to add new material or write … Continue reading Hello
