Day 17 – Girls Are Magic
Our youngest son is just 7, and he is so inquisitive and always asking questions. So today was no different, but each time the questions get a little more probing. “Mummy, why do you sit down to wee?” We’ve had the conversation that boys are different to girls and how different they are but he Continue reading

Where Did the Time Go? Days 9 – 16
Jesus, time flies when you can’t seem to find the light switch! Last week started off so, well full of hope I suppose but then quickly ran away screaming like a bitch. Tuesday, saw me taking on yet another challenge, it was Legs, Bums, and Tums Day at the gym, seriously that class is a Continue reading

Day 8 – Let the Insults Commence!
The first full week of my 90-day challenge is complete, what have I achieved in this short but long week? Well, I walked over 150,000 steps, went to the gym 4 times, and did 2 classes, one nearly killed me (I’m not even being dramatic). I’ve managed to grab some quiet time away from the Continue reading

Day Six and Seven – The Weekend.
The weekends are normally pretty chaotic in our house, between Footy and Dance runs, quick trips to the shops and making sure all the stuff is ready for Monday. Even the kids have got on board with the whole routine thing, making sure they bring lunch boxes and water bottles to the kitchen every night, Continue reading

Day Five – And I’ve Not Caved in Yet!
We’re here, its Friday and look the weekend is next door. If I’m perfectly honest with you all, I didn’t think I would make it past Day 3 never mind 5 days, I had somehow become reliant on social media to keep me in touch with people, when I should be able to reach out Continue reading

Day Four – The Birthday!
Today is Middle Prin’s Birthday, this was always going to challenge me on this Social Media break. Why? Because for the last 14 years, I have always shared my kid’s birthdays and special occasions with my friends and family, making posts with the cutest pictures and best message for them to wake up too. Today Continue reading

Day Three – When Mummy Loses Her Sh*T
Day Three started out so promisingly but went downhill faster than Lewis Hamilton in the Grand Prix. Where do I start? Right at the very beginning would help I suppose. I was up with the dog at 6am as normal, the Asda man was due between 7-8am, he’s normally bang on 7am, but this wasn’t Continue reading

Day Two – And not a Karen Insight
Well day Two came and went in a flash, it’s hard to believe I’ve spent the last 14 years making friends (some I’ve now realised I can live without) and creating a following on social media and not miss it in the slightest. So how were we “social” before social media? How did people find Continue reading

Day One – It’s Only The Beginning
Where do I begin with Day One, well normally I’d get up and check my Facebook Memories, then scroll through Insta looking for someone organising cupboards and shit, stuff I don’t have time to do because I’m watching someone else do theirs. Then I realise we are running late, and totally blame the kids for Continue reading

Hello World, But Who Am I?
As I sit on my sofa, with the dog perched against my legs, I know cramp will set in shortly because I’m 47 and who am I fooling that I can still sit on the sofa with my legs in such an uncomfortable position for too long. Anyway, I am rambling as only I know Continue reading
All About little old me!
One woman, (she/her) Mum, Wife, Granddaughter, Daughter, Sister, Auntie and Great Auntie (yes, I am old).
I started this blog to document my journey throughout my ‘social media’ detox, but as I love to write and share, (some say overshare), I thought I’d try and do a little more of what I love coming into 2024.
Stick with me because I will be sharing my day to day antics, and whatever else 2024 and beyond has to throw at me .
