So a lot has happened since my last post. My biggest baby turned 5 and had a brilliant birthday party with his little buddies. Normally I don't go for parties, I see them as a massive waste of money but seeing his little face sitting at the head of his party table and knowing he felt like the most important boy ever was worth it all!
He also lost not one but two teeth!! His bottom two! Tooth fairy and santa in one week!
Fast forward a few weeks and it's Christmas! we had a lovely Christmas. Evelyn's first, and our first as a complete little family! This year it was all power rangers, Blaze monster domes, crystal kits and fluffy bunnies! There really is something magical about all sitting there in our pj's and dressing gowns, watching the kids faces so excited and beaming with the relief they made it onto the good list! It really is magical.
Fast forward again to the new year and here we are. I don't tend to make resolutions, because I'm crap at them and rarely give them much thought. I do k however, like to think of a word. Sounds a little bonkers but my brilliant friend explains it much better here

I don't tend to go the whole hog, just try and get a feeling for what I want this year. I've found it super hard this year. Last year I chose 'grow' because at the time I was still trying for Evelyn after evrything. I wanted my family to grow, and little did I know a few weeks after choosing that word bang (excuse the pun!) I was growing an Evelyn!!
So this year, whilst sitting here considering a few words I just keep falling flat. I think maybe now I have the happy ending, my perfect, happy, healthy three children I feel I need a new goal. Something new to work towards, I mean I never gave up hope and persevered and now I have the daughter and sons of my dreams, so if I can put my mind to it and end up being the luckiest mum in the world what else could I do!?
But that is the question, what else? I originally started this blog a few years back to give myself a little hobby, something new to get excited about, to think about other than the daily chores and mummy life. If I look back at myself 10 years ago. I was 16/17, just finished school, worked my butt off for my GCSE results, going to college to study law psychology and sociology which I loved! I'd started learning to drive. I had left home. I painted and sold canvases of super hero's, pop art etc, I could play the piano, I had a painted massive Disney mureuls in the play centre I worked at, I worked in SLD schools and I'd started my NVQ3 in childcare. I had goals, achievements, plans the lot. If someone asked me about myself I had plenty to talk about, now...not so much!
Honestly, if you banned me from mentioning my children I would have nothing to say ha! So, I've forced myself to write this post and to really think about my word, and some things I'd like to do this year, some things I want!
Take a little bit (tiny) of time out for myself, to not always be rushing about for everyone else, to not always forget about me!
I've always wanted to write children's stories, I've always got a few little ideas whizzing about, but I never develop them
A thigh gap would be nice.... Hahahahaha
To rekindle a few of my old interests, I've always loved the concept of reflexology, aromatherapy, massage, crystals, angel card reading. Perhaps I'll actually start looking more into these things further than pinning on pintrest!
To be able to dip a wispa bar into a hot cup of tea and enjoy them both....see why I laughed about that thigh gap idea!!
To read!! Although I did manage to read the harry potter cursed child play last year .... Wtf was that about!? 😂
To find and immediately buy these shoes for myself and Evelyn 😂
To enjoy loads more adventures with my family, they grow up so quick. By the time I start thinking about my word next year.... I'll have a 6, 5 and 1 year old running about argh!!
I'll keep thinking on that word, next time I post Connor will be a 4 year old Argh!! We are hoping to have an extra special guest on his birthday too...eeek!!
Anyhoo thank you for visiting!! XxxX
