What’s with my frump life?

Since having Emily I’ve been guilty of something. I seem to have forgotten how to look after myself. I just don’t do much things for myself like I used to because I have so many other things that I need to do on a daily basis. My hair is always up in a ponytail, I…

My daughter loves her football just like her daddy

It’s happened. Well, it happened a while ago, but yes, Emily loves football just as much as daddy. Ok, so she can’t tell the difference between the teams and tell you what the offside rule is, but when daddy puts football on, Emily wants to be just as much into the game as her daddy…
