Back in November, the lovely Lisa from Mummascribbles and I attended a blogging conference together. While chatting in one of the breaks, I told Lisa how much I loved the posts that she writes about all the happy times from her weekends. I also mentioned that I thought that it was a brilliant idea for a linky and Instagram community. Fast forward 3 months and here we are with our first Our Weekend Happy linky. Lisa and I are so excited…
When Mr H was born he was given a soft toy panda bear. That panda bear, known as Panda, became not only his best friend but also a member of the family. When Mr H and his family went on boating holidays on the Norfolk Broads Panda would go with them. And Mr H’s sister would make him an outfit that matched the colours of the boat they were staying on during their holiday. When Panda was looking worn and…
This is week 3 of my Our Weekend Happy post. I’m very impressed that I have managed to keep writing these posts for 3 whole weeks. I don’t have the best track record at consistency. Anyway, in case you haven’t seen my previous Our Weekend Happy posts, it is based on a weekly post that one of my favourite bloggers, Lisa from Mummascribbles writes. I’ve always loved her posts. And so I decided that I wanted to write something similar. Tomorrow (Wednesday…
I hold these truths to be self-evident that all mothers are created equal. Irrespective of the road you’ve travelled down to become a mother, you are endowed with certain undeniable rights, and these include not being judged, being supported and being allowed to parent as you see fit. That to secure these rights, you merely need to have the position of Mother. Whether your child was conceived naturally, through IVF, was adopted or fostered you are a mother and I’ve been…
This post could also have been called 5 ways I’m trying to become happier in my own skin. Because I’m not happy in my own skin at the moment. And when I look in the mirror and I don’t like the person I see staring back at me. I’m reminded of a line from one of my favourite songs: “It’s just that we stayed, too long In the same old sickly skin.” …
Last week, I started writing a post called Our Weekend Happy. It is based on a weekly post that one of my favourite bloggers, Lisa from Mummascribbles writes. I’ve always loved her posts. And so I decided that I wanted to write something similar. Next Wednesday (Wednesday 31st January) Lisa and I are launching Our Weekend Happy as a linky and an Instagram hashtag community. We would love you to join us and link up any happy posts about your weekend. Also,…
Little Miss H is now 56 months old. She is four months away from being five years old. And today she lost her first tooth. It began wobbling on Saturday and then fell out today. It feels like a huge milestone and one that I was not ready for. I can’t quite believe that my baby girl is losing her baby teeth. When did she get so grown up? Little Miss H has been at primary school since September and her…
One of our highlights of last summer was going to see In the Night Garden Live at its purpose-built Showdome in Blackheath. It was a wonderful show and we can’t wait to see it again this summer. I have to admit, that I was unsure how the children would respond to seeing In the Night Garden Live. They both LOVE the TV show but Little Miss H is wary of seeing live performances. I needn’t have worried. Both the children…
