Tired, and tired of explaining that.
I am tired. This week, I muttered to myself that I didn’t think I could get more tired. I foolishly say this to myself when we have had a tiny blip of what seems like normal and nice then we get slammed and I know that I probably will get more tired, than I already […]

Project 365 – a photo a day. Grow your own
Project 365. A photo a day, every day of the year. I have always wanted to grow my own mushrooms, and not the dodgy magic kind, I promise. This is what’s happening in my kitchen at the moment. What will I cook with them? They are rather pretty to look at aren’t they? The kids […]

To be honest, my whole life runs with the aid of various devices and I do rely heavily on them. However, I do also believe that we can have […]

She’s coming…
She’s coming. I realised in December that I cannot manage the mad juggle of life without some extra help. I simply cannot keep on top of all the basics whilst being a working mum. I just don’t have the capacity. Other people seem to cope with working, parenting and keeping their house clean and tidy. […]

Project 365. A photo a day, every day of the year. Where I come from we call this “get the paddling pool out” weather. Could it be that we are actually going have some sunshine, and summer may manifest. The husband is even threatening to do some gardening if it carries on like this. Who’s […]
