Parenting – The After School Club Edition

Now we’ve covered parenting the school edition (what do you mean you’ve not read it yet) Here’s the link Parenting The School Edition. Anyway, as I covered in the above post, parenting gets technical at times and these technicalities will come in the form of other parents and their kids. Now as I have said Continue reading

Super Stupid

We’ve covered the dreaded “M” topic once or twice before, only because it feels like, its somehow becoming my alter ego. You know how Bruce Wayne was Batman or how Peter Parker would become Spiderman, I feel almost the same way about my little mate M, but somehow, her superpowers can only be described as Continue reading

Much Ado About Gossip

I love a good old gossip session, and Social media gossip pages are the funniest places to be on, if you’re not on one find one and just sit back and grab some popcorn. You don’t have to interact and no one knows you’ve even been there, it’s like a fly on the wall documentary, Continue reading

Dawn Of The Rona

This post was originally written in March 2020, a lifetime ago now, and from the looks of this post, school didn’t survive for the full 12 weeks. Thursday 19th March, my biggest human went to see the GP, she informed him that because he was on the “At Risk” list along with two of our Continue reading

Don’t Ask!

As a mum of 6 amazing and understandably beautiful children, (because genetically I don’t do ugly kids), I thought that it was my duty to share with you all, some of the day-to-day questions I get asked. Some of these questions, may to most of you seem like fair game, but believe me when I Continue reading

Relationship Reality

Relationships can be a funny old thing, one minute you are so loved up, the next you want to place a pillow over your other halves head and press gently, with a firm hand. I’m not condoning violence in anyway shape or form, but sometimes just the way your other half breathes gets on your Continue reading

Tis’ The Season

It feels like forever since I last wrote anything, so I’m back with a bang, alright I know bonfire night is gone, but we do have a seasonal present fast approaching. I’m not talking about Santa, I am in fact talking about his absolute little terror of an employee, that calls just before the big Continue reading

Much Offended about nothing.

We seem to be raising a generation of snowflakes, that seem to be offended by EVERYTHING. Every time I open Insta or Facebook, I’m not cool enough to have TikTok, there seems to be someone and when I say someone, I mean a little snowflake, who is part of this whole cancel culture. Last week Continue reading

Not So Dry January

*This post was originally written in January 2020* It took me ages to try and start this post, but they do say in life, starting something is always the hardest part. Unless you’re a baby, then the beginning is pretty easy, someone waiting on you hand and foot. Feeding you, bathing you and wiping your Continue reading

Artificial What?

I grew up in the 80’s, where we were told that in 2024, we would have flying cars that drove themselves, oh and robots that would do all of the housework to help mum out, I bloody wish. God knows who was in charge of the dreams department back then, but I swear they were 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 .
