Hello! I know it’s been a long time, since, I have posted. Life has simply gotten away from me! We have settled into a routine with the little man going into nursery smoothly in the mornings. So I have more time to myself. I have been busy though. If it’s not work, it’s broadening myContinue reading “Books!”

As world book day is fast approaching. We thought we should share some of our favourite books. I love reading, it’s a chance to escape reality. It also helps me when I feel low. I have recently got into reading autobiographies. My favourite so far is Daisy May Cooper’s “Don’t laugh it’ll only encourage her”.Continue reading “Books! Books! Books!”

I know. I know! It’s been a long time since I have last posted. However, so much happened in the past few months!  We celebrated birthdays and Christmas. Enjoyed the winter sun. Battled against the cold and got caught up in the sales!  However, that was not all! Less than a week before James’ birthdayContinue reading “In the past few months…”

November is the worst month for me! It’s the month where most of my family have their birthdays. So, I start shopping for their birthday and Christmas in August. I know it sounds early but I like to save money. I don’t want to be skint around Christmas time. You know what? It works! IContinue reading “Presents”

The last month has been pretty hectic and chaotic in the house! I have been trying and really mean trying to potty train James. It’s a nightmare! Sometimes he will happily run to the toilet when I ask him if he needs. Other times, sadly, I will need to encourage him and offer him treats.Continue reading “Potty madness!”

In this house we love baking! We like to bake cakes, brownies and cookies. Sometimes we also bake bread. Just started this year! I started showing James how to bake last year and he has really taken to it. He loves mashing banana for banana bread or bannoffee muffins, to mixing ingredients for me. It’sContinue reading “It’s cookie time!”

Don’t you love Scotland in the Autumn? It makes me want to happy dance and buy stationary. In this house, we love this time of year. We love how the nights slowly creep in and it gets darker. We love how it’s cooler, and the leaves start to turn beautiful colours. We also love theContinue reading “Autumn”

So, I have been off for the past two days and mainly been playing with my son. He is two and a half years old, and boy, he really is changing becoming more boy like!  In my opinion, I think it is important to lay down the ground rules at his age. He already knows that there are limits. However, he will still tryContinue reading “Terrible tantrums”

Who else goes on Rightmove to look at houses almost everyday? I certainly do! I love looking at other people’s homes for inspiration. Looking at the colours they use. This is what I have particularly looked at, as we have been focusing the last month on de-yellowing our house. Yes I said de-yellowing! When weContinue reading “The kids room”

Who else wakes up with two big eyes staring at you and tryng to play nosey-nosey with you? Well, if that’s you? Welcome to my special club! Where the kids dictate when to get up so they can catch Fireman Sam and know how to be the cutest alarm clock. I feel this is theContinue reading “Sleeping troubles”
