From Kent To Cornwall

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...

How are we already in October, last time i looked we was just beginning summer. We do love October though, the leaves changing colour and falling making a crispy path way for you, the cosy evenings snuggled under a fluffy blanket. Most of all we love Halloween, this is our first Halloween in Cornwall. We are looking forward to making our house all spooky, and i think a trip to B&M is on the books for that one.  We've always loved dressing up and the kids get so excited sorting out there outfits, we are not really sure if there are any events going on around us, but we have just discovered the perfect place to go pumpkin picking which is not open for a few weeks but we can't wait to go! Another great thing we love to do as a family, spending hour's walking around the pumpkin patch finding the perfect pumpkins, playing around with the wheelbarrows. Then coming home and deciding how to carve them! I also like to do a few Halloween themed dinners for the ki...

I'm always happy to try new products, and after contacting the collective dairy who kindly sent us some coupons to use to redeem against there range we was excited to see what it was all about. A company that believes in using only the best ingredients in there products, to help deliver nothing but the finest tasting goods. With no nasty's, Veterinarian friendly, a source of protein and full with live cultures. Sounds good a'y?! Selling a wide variety of goodies, from yogurt, kids yogurts to kefir and pro-yo.  We headed of to our local Tescos, vouchers in hand ready to try these goodness pots and pouches. We redeemed our vouchers against there awesome kids range called "suckies" being a busy mum of three and a pack lunch pro ( i like to think i am ) i normally always opt for "spoon yogurts" in there lunch boxes, i try to fill there lunches with healthy food's as well as a few treats, but the "spoon yogurts" seem to spiral us in to ...

You get them dressed, what seems to take forever along with the thousand questions. You load them in to the car, check everyone has there seat belts on, and off you go. You park up after what seems to have been the longest car journey of your life!  you look at yourself in the mirror, and think... Why the bloody hell did i think it was a good idea to bring the kids food shopping on a Saturday along with every other person in this town? How many times have i parent failed by doing this, well to be honest I've lost count! kids and food shopping do not mix well in fact kids and shopping do not go well!  i mean for start all they do is argue! then you have a slight panic attack when you can find one of them, but its ok there just playing hide and seek in among the veg!  Then a mini break down at the toy isle just because you won't by them the toy that's £80!! "how many times if your good Santa might bring you something like this for Christm...

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...
