Challenge Accepted
Would it be a Bank Holiday Monday if it didn’t rain? To be honest the rain is the least of my worries today, in fact the rain is the highlight of my day, and I’m not even being sarcastic (well maybe a little) I remember when bank holidays involved long lie-ins, lazy lunches and Continue reading

It’s Just a Number Right?
March is a funny old month for my family, we have the most birthdays and anniversaries that any single month can have. We have a grand total of 8 birthdays, 3 anniversaries and Mother’s Day thrown in for good measure (because we aren’t busy enough). I feel like we should spend all year just saving Continue reading

I Love…….

Independent Mum Activated
This year I made a pact with myself to be that little bit more independent, or try to be. I grew up with 4 uncles, I’m the eldest sibling of 4 little sisters and an adopted brother and I have travelled to the other side of the world alone, but never really thought of myself Continue reading

The Fate of the Single Socks.
Anyone else hate pairing socks? Obviously, us being a family of 8, socks rule this house. 7 people still live here, (Don’t worry I haven’t lost one, he’s safe and well, just too big to still be living with his mum, apparently) that’s 3 adults (nearly 4), 2 teenagers, and 2 smaller people, equals a 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 .
