And by that I mean juggling. Metaphorical juggling more specifically. I'm left handed and have very bad hand eye coordination so ACTUAL juggling is a big problem for me. ANYWAY, I've been asked on a number of occasions to write a post on how I juggle life. What we do isn't perfect and I can't… Continue reading Top Class Circus Skills

Greek Escape
This summer we went away as a family of three to beautiful Greece. After much searching for the 'perfect' family holiday we settled on the the resort Aeolos Beach in Corfu. 10 days, all inclusive. When travelling with children I cannot recommend booking all inclusive enough! I makes life so much easier when they decide… Continue reading Greek Escape
School Daze to School Days
Being a parent AND a teacher is difficult. I had always assumed that having this profession behind me would enable a smooth transition to parenthood. I was wrong. ‘The book of Parenting’ is written by a completely different author to that of ‘The book of Teaching’. However, over the past 3 and a half years… Continue reading School Daze to School Days
It’s been a while…
So, today was a pretty awesome day. A little while ago a notification popped up in my inbox to tell me it had been over a year since my last blog post. A blog I'd created when on maternity leave, a blog that I was so excited about creating and one that I'd hoped would… Continue reading It’s been a while…
Evelyn’s Bedroom Tour
Evelyn's room is possibly my favourite room in our (very small) house! Living in London means, at the moment, we have a two bed home. I love it because it is ours and needed little doing to it when we moved in. Previously owned by a builder, the house was perfectly painted, white and neutral!… Continue reading Evelyn’s Bedroom Tour
The Many Versions of Mummy!
In the 820 (give or take a few) days I have been a Mummy I have changed. I have grown and learnt - yes, that's a given. I have taken on this life altering, permanent challenge that will be my greatest success.. blah blah blah. What you don't realise, as you paddle your way through… Continue reading The Many Versions of Mummy!
Mirror Mirror
2016. Lets reflect. Well, this year we have settled properly into our new home and have started to think about how we are going to develop it this year. With plans for a new front door, new carpets, new fence panels and hopefully start thinking properly about an extension so I can finally have my… Continue reading Mirror Mirror
Two For you. Two for me.
Dear Evelyn, You are two. I'm not too sure how it happened but the baby we held in our arms is now gone forever and in its place we have you. Wonderful, funny, cheeky, frustrating, messy, bossy, clever, stubborn, beautiful YOU. This year has been totally and utterly magical. You spent your first year… Continue reading Two For you. Two for me.
Love, Love, Love
So, short sharp blog post today! I needed to share this beautiful video my lovely cousin has made to commemorate my daughters 1st birthday! It still blows me away when people do something... Anything... With my daughter in mind! A text, a photo, a keepsake... It seriously brings a tear to my eye!!! Love… Continue reading Love, Love, Love
A Letter to my Daughter…
To my darling Evelyn, It has been a whole year since the night you were born. The night that I had waited for. The night that was the scariest and most exciting of my life to date. The surreal notion of meeting you was overwhelming and I would relive that moment thousands of times if… Continue reading A Letter to my Daughter…
