๐Ÿ’ป Guess whoโ€™s got a ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ? Oh yes, that is me. Over 3 years of hard work has led me to this and I feel so proud of myself. Starting a degree during Covid and homeschooling children and working is just insane when I think back.โฃ

As itโ€™s an apprenticeship, through my employer, I still have some work to do to finish off. But my certificate is en routeโ€ฆ the hard work is done. I wouldnโ€™t have been able to do this if it wasnโ€™t for my employer giving me time to study and Hubby for giving me the space to work into the evenings and weekends. Itโ€™s a lot of time. And I will be forever grateful. โฃ

I love learning and itโ€™s something Iโ€™ve always wanted to do, as I left uni at 20 without my ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜„ degree. It was my biggest regret leaving so close to the end. But Iโ€™ve done it now and thatโ€™s the main thing. โฃ

10 fun experiences every family should add to their bucket list

10 fun experiences every family should add to their bucket list

The time we spend with our family is precious and fleeting. While it may feel like your little cherubs will remain small and snuggly forever, blink and before you know it theyโ€™re young adults that no longer want anything to do with mum and dad. If for no other reason than this alone, we need to make the most of every moment we spend as a family (even if the kids do have a habit of driving you up the wall!). If you are looking for fun experiences to do with the family this Autumn then check out this list. VIEW the POST

Planning a stress free family trip to Phuket

Planning a stress free family trip to Phuket

Over the years, as the children have got older, we have realised quite how stressful planning a trip abroad can be. Everything from worrying about the cots when the children were babies, to what activities there are on offer as they get older. There are so many things to think about so I thought I would capture a few helpful tips and my chosen location is Phuket (it's on my bucket list). VIEW the POST

My bucket list of things to do before I turn 40

Yes, I know I am not 40 for another 5 years but it’s Hubby’s 40th birthday next week and it’s got me thinking about all of the things I want to do before I get to that milestone. So I have been thinking about my bucket list and hopefully 5 years will be enough to achieve it. Travel, food and family fun are high at the top of my list, I would love to know if you have any good ideas (I can always add to my list). 

5 essential UK festival experiences on my bucket list

5 essential UK festival experiences on my bucket list

I love a bucket list, most of the time I do not write them down. I am one of those people that until the very last moment, everything is an opportunity. Recently I have been thinking about family festivals. We have only experienced this once with the children. It wasn't a music festival or anything, it was Blogstock. It gave us a little taster of what a bigger festival would be like. VIEW the POST

The POTTY list….

THE POTTY LIST... Or 36 Things To Do Before Youโ€™re Three So, you've heard of the Bucket List, well this is the Potty list: a guide of 36 things to do with your tot before they turn 3. It forms part of the Little One-dersโ€™ Toddler Census, commissioned by Growingupmilkinfo.com, and has been designed to celebrate the extraordinary growth and development Little One-ders go through from 1 to 3 years. The 36 must-do activities that make up โ€˜The Potty Listโ€™ are: Made a mud pie Baked a cake Finger painted Sung loudly in public Climbed a big hill Picked fruit Danced with no inhibitions Made sandcastles on the beach Been chased by a monster Jumped in a puddle so hard the water went in mummyโ€™s shoe too Belly-flopped Fed the ducks Blown bubbles Had a teddy bearโ€™s picnic Chosen a favourite book Ridden on the top of double-decker bus Visited a museum Been on a train ride Fed an animal Grown cress in the shape of your name Worn pants on your head Ridden the tea-cups ...
