You're not gonna believe this…
Everyday emails to my pal about… everything!
Hey there! How goes it? The daffodils are out and the Magnolia blossoms are budding – Spring has sprung! The horrible stye has gone and my other eye has thankfully stopped twitching so, I feel somewhat normal again. I had my last day at my school this week and I’m feeling reflective. I am forty-six … Continue reading Embracing Quietness
Hey Friend, It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I had to take a break as life got a bit complicated and difficult. I didn’t expect the break to last five years! I’ve been having a look back at my previous posts and wondered why I ever stopped. Finding the joy in all the crazy, boring, … Continue reading Hey
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.

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
Hey, You're not gonna believe this but sleep deprivation is wonderful - no, seriously! Okay, no - not seriously. I do wonder if you ever get to sleep again after having kids. Even before Bubs arrived it was hit or miss if my girls - who are NOT babies - would wake me up. Maybe … Continue reading Sleep is for wimps…
Hey, How are you? You're not going to believe this - well, actually, you are - my love affair with sugar is back - help me before I gorge myself on more biscuits! How many times have we said we're cutting out sugar for good, only to be sucked back in? I thought it would … Continue reading Sugar? Yes, please!
Hey friend, You're not gonna believe this but my children are driving me to chocolate... Seriously. Yes, I'm saying that I hold them wholly responsible for my lack of will power. Let me give you an example - weekends (or random inset days, or general holidays from school...) - suddenly it's as though they've never … Continue reading Chocolate
