A little bit of me time..

Life can be hard and can throw you some big curve balls every know and then! Its busy and chaotic even with out three kids in toe, if i knew being an adult would be this hard i wouldn't have grown up!  Making a bit of time for yourself is not selfish but bloody much needed!  it doesn't have to be anything over dramatic either, my little me time treat is a Friday night pamper. Cue the candles and romantic music! ( ha ) once the kids are fed, washed and happy ( not trying to kill each other ) in bed I'll jump in the shower and use my all time faves!  Imperial leather has always been a go to for me, at a none ridiculous price but still great quality, i'll always look for these when i'm shopping.  There new limited edition range grabbed me straight away ( i'm a sucker for anything with flamingos on ) and does it smell AMAZZING!!  The unicorn one was more having my 5 year old daughter in mind, so I've not really had a look in...

One big competition.

Most of the time i just try to wing my way through life like every bloody day and being a parent there's no handbooks to guide you in the right direction, because there is no right and wrong, I just try to bring my three humans up as best as i can, to be kind, caring, respectful, peaceful humans in a crazy world just trying to get through!  Don't you feel though that sometimes it all seems like one big competition? Like who has the cleanest house, who has the biggest following, who's been to the best places, who drive the best car and so on... Don't get me wrong i'd love a larger following on Instagram but hey ho, maybe one day. I think its to easy to copy other people, just because there telling you how "perfect" there life is and all that crap doesn't mean its real! Bloody hell i mean i try to keep on top of the washing, the cleaning but lets face it i'm never going to live in a spotless house, and i can't afford the latest mobil...

This is me.

THIS IS ME. I may not be a model, i'm not a superstar, i'm not skinny or beautiful, but you know something? This is me, its taken me a long time to feel happy and confident in myself and i think i'm finally there. Here i am with my mum tum, my stretch marks, bags under my eyes, wobbly bits these my be my flaws but i don't care because I'm happy, i have carried three babies, I've fed them, I've lost sleep, I've eaten cake because i like it but these flaws don't define me. I have a man that man that love's me for me that'd held me when I've cried because i didn't think i was good enough, who told me i was, that if i wanted to i could do anything i put my mind to. So you now what YOU are beautiful, we all are, in our own way, flaws and all. Embracing them, excepting them is the first step to self love and its a step we all need to take. I'm beautiful to the ones who love me, i am super women to my children, a beautiful w...

Why we decided to move 300 miles.

Our 300 mile Move.... Life as a parent can be scary, when we was living in Kent we lived in a two bed flat with five of us. We did the same old day in day out, life was passing us by and being completely honest i worried about the kids getting older and letting them have freedom. We knew things had to change for us all, we decided Cornwall was the way forward for us and our little family, after many "family meetings" and discussions with the kids we all wanted to move. . . . Down here our children have freedom, more space then we could have wished for and for us as parents there's less worry, life seems and feels so different not so worrying and daunting, of course no matter what age we will always worry about our kids but we all feel safer. . . So as parents we know we made the right choice no matter what people say, we did it for us and for our children to live a life of fresh air and freedom. Sometimes you have to follow your dreams because they lead y...
