You're not gonna believe this…
Everyday emails to my pal about… everything!
Well, hello there, Friend! How are we doing? Hope all is well and you’re enjoying the bursts of spring popping up all over the place. It’s especially heartening to see daffodils in random spots on roadsides, a patch in a park or even my own terrace. The ones on my terrace are a wonder – … Continue reading And Relax
To my fellow writer friends: Do you ever get stuck on what to write? Yes, I know it’s generally called writers block but sometimes it feels less like a pipe blockage and more like a wall that you’d need several attempts with heavy machinery to get through. The idea is there, but the actual words … Continue reading Write, Dear Writer
Hey Friend, how’s things? You won't believe how cold it is at the moment. It is absolutely freezing here in England. The frost covering rooftops and grass looks gorgeous but who actually wants to be outside in this chill? I’m sure someone enjoys winter but I’m really not a fan. I do, however, enjoy Christmas … Continue reading There’s a bit of a chill in the air…
Hey, So you're not gonna believe this but Older Miss (OM) went to the corner shop all by herself today and my heart was in my mouth the whole time. I mean she's basically 10 years old (give or take a few weeks) so I have to start letting go, right? She'll be going to … Continue reading Loosening the reigns
Hey Friend, You're not gonna believe the day I've had! I should now be stuffing my face with chocolate whilst watching some nonsense on the tv to forget but it's the summer holidays so the girls are still up - and, more importantly - I don't actually have any chocolate!!! Yes, this is a truly … Continue reading Who said play-dates were fun?
Hiya, So, you're not gonna believe this but it's half term again (I know, right?). Weeks ago, Little Miss and I found this recipe for 'morning muffins' - really healthy 'cakes' (I use the word loosely) made with oats and Greek yogurt amongst other things. As a treat I thought I'd make them one day … Continue reading Breakfast treat – two words that do not go together…
Hey Friend, How are you? So Older Miss came back from her trip and - you're not gonna believe this, but peace reigned in our home for a full hour! The girls were so pleased to see each other that it was all "No - you have the last sweet" and "No - you read … Continue reading Woman down
Hey there, So you're not gonna believe this but I am one child down this week - Older Miss has gone away with school and it feels very weird. I know it's all part of growing up but we all had a snuggle in bed at the weekend - well, Mr E, Little Miss and … Continue reading To detox, or not to detox…?
Hey friend, You're not gonna believe this but the girls are on holiday - again! I know - doesn't it seem like half term was just a couple of weeks ago? I do love having them home though and being able to be home without having to compete with the other mums at work for … Continue reading Work, work, work…
Hey there, You're not gonna believe this but yesterday was Mother's Day and I spent a big chunk of it childless - the irony is not lost on me but it was blissful all the same. Having woken up with a miserable cold and not being able to enjoy the obligatory Mother's Day lie in (Mr E … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day
