From Kent To Cornwall

Christmas is the most magical time of the year, and as our children grow up its nice to keep the excitement of Father Christmas alive as long as we can. These beautiful personalised letters from  Lapland Letters  are just the magic every child will love. With such beautiful detail through out the whole envelope, my children are going to love these. Sadly it will probably be the last year that my eldest believes so i want to make it as special as i can. Each letter it personalised wonderfully and really is such beautiful high quality. Included with our  letter was a bumper activity pack ( which can be purchased )  this includes the cutest chocolate bar with your child's name on made by Mrs Clause, Some magical reindeer food to sprinkle on your lawn to show them the way, A extremely beautiful Santa map! and some lovely Christmas colouring. Magical wishing star's where your child writes there Christmas wish and hangs it on...

When is comes to skin care and bath/shower for my children i always like things that keep there skin soft and defiantly does not irritate them. When they where little all three of them suffered with dry skin, which was rather horrible at times, in the winter my daughter still get dry patches now which can cause her some irritation. I find that cheaper products really don't do anything for there soft child skin, even some big brands don't last long keeping there skin dry free so trying different products to find the one that's just right has been a task and a half. The lovely people over at child's farm kindly sent us some products to try. We've been using them for a few weeks now and i'm rather impressed, my daughters dry skin seems to have cleared right up. The products:  We have two hair and body washes, and a 3 in 1 swim, firstly the designs on there packaging is brilliant! the bright coloured bottles, the funky styled pictures. Branding is...

I use to do beauty blogging, when the boys was small. Something i really enjoyed doing and i was lucky enough to work with so lovely cosmetic brands, to which i always gave honest reviews on the products that they sent me. One thing always stopped me from being an amazing beauty blogger like some of the talented bloggers out there, and it was being able to actually apply make in way that stood out and showed a talent. So i gave it up, i didn't blog for ages after that family life was what i was all about. I slipped in to being a mum and nothing else. Then with moving down to Cornwall and the kids being that much older and Mark going off to work every day, i needed something for me. So i decided to start it all up again, but this time it incorporated my family, and our adventures. Along with things the kids enjoyed doing, so here i am.  My blog is not huge, and not well know but its that little place i can come to share things. To share my experiences, my fails as a pa...

Any parent will now, Sunday just seems to fly by. Before you know it it's Monday again and the chaos begins again! How i prep my Sundays to try an ease the stress ready for Monday. 1. I iron the kids uniform on Sunday evening. 2. I use to be dreadful with trying to sort the pack lunches Monday morning, so i now make them Sunday evening. 3. Shower time, instead of leaving this till last minuet i'll make sure there all clean by 6.00pm 4. Home work, if they get any we do this together on Friday evening just so we can all enjoy the weekend together. 5. Cleaning, i'll have a little tidy over the weekend if it needs doing but i will leave my big clean until Monday once the kids are at school. 6. Dinner, unless we are going out for dinner i will always make sure its cooked by 3pm just so then the evenings are not a complete rush. 7. I make sure that i have my clothes and bits ready Sunday evening as well, so i'm not the one holding everyone else up!  Th...

When i first saw those two little lines almost 10 years ago, a surge of worry, panic, and a bag full of emotions hit me, we had not planned to start a family, plus we had only been together a few months. I really didn't know what to do, being honest i thought this little "thing" growing inside me would be the end of what seemed to be a perfect relationship. What did i do? Well i didn't say a word, for a good week i kept it to myself, trying to work out what would be the best decision, if i could raise a child on my own. How wrong i was, after finally gathering the courage to tell my boyfriend, a weight was lifted he was over the moon. Our relationship had moved pretty fast, but you know when you just feel like you was supposed to find this other human, the right to your left well that was us. With a 13 year age gap people did talk behind our backs, " oh she's just a fling" " They won't settle down" " that relationship won...
