Wishing all my readers, family and friends, a Happy New Year. Here’s to 2019

I’d like to wish all my readers, family and friends, a Happy New Year, from my home to yours. 2018 was an odd year, but here’s to a new fruitful year in 2019. Of course 2018 won’t erase anything that happened, but here’s to the new year, a bigger and better year. May it bring…

Only a few days to go before Emily’s Christening

Emily’s Christening is in less than a few days and this week has been crazy with work, keeping Emily active and busy as well as doing a million other things that I didn’t really need to add to my week but had to do anyway. On top of that, obviously I decided to do the…

Would you pay money to attend a children’s birthday party?

I read in the paper a few months back that a single mother was asking parents to pay £6 a head for their children to come to her twins 5th birthday party and she was ridiculed online for it. Ruma Ali, 29, asked parents to help with the cost of boys Shiyan and Kiyan’s celebration at…

Are you ready for Christmas?

It’s nearing the end of November, are you ready for Christmas?

I’m all about that bake, ’bout that cake, no pastry

  I love baking, I mean it should go naturally with the fact that I love to cook too but my love of baking doesn’t stretch as far as some and although I may have some “skills,” I’m nowhere near the ‘Bake Off’ type baker that some people are. Unfortunately, under pressure would mean a…

My first Mother’s Day was perfect

Thank you Sam and Emily for making my first Mother’s Day perfect. It was just lovely and perfect. To be honest Sam, you’re not a card buyer, that’s probably a bloke thing, so I wasn’t expecting much. I thought you’d skip on the card front and just stick to a bunch of flowers but you…

Happy Mother’s Day 

Unfortunately this year I can’t be with my mum today for Mother’s Day which just so happens to be the day before my sister’s birthday this year. So I’m missing out on 2 special days which is pretty crap, but it’s not the end of the world, why? well I have my own little family…
