There have been times over the recent past where tensions have been fraught and horrible things have been said and done, causing a deeply-rooted unhappiness in my life. At the time, it’s difficult to see through the mist but now I see that it is only the difference between people and personalities that have caused… Read More
On 9th March 2018, my little Q turned 2 years old. After I’d picked O up from school, we rushed to the Hallmark shop to pick up some balloons to add to his set-up of gifts in the living room. We made it back in the nick of time and Q was so excited to… Read More

Time together as a couple without the children,… Read More
One of my favourite things to do to get into the mood for Christmas is go to one of the local Christmas Lights Switch-On events in Cumbria. Wrapped up all cosy in our hats, scarves and gloves, sipping on a hot chocolate and watching the children play on the roundabouts and fairground rides. I love… Read More
On the 3rd September, we arrived back in the UK after our family holiday to Costa Teguise, Lanzarote. As soon as the plane touched down in the cold and dreary UK, I started to think about other places we would like to visit… Italy has been on my travel bucket list for a long time,… Read More
