I’ve had a busy week! Swipe to see Isla’s bedroom from this morning 😮

Not only did I get my tax return in and 3,000 word assignment. I’ve cleared Noah’s entire room, painted it and the woodwork and then we built his new gaming bed (I can’t wait to show you). Then I tackled Islas room today. Her room became a dumping ground when sorting Noah’s - so it had to be done. I even managed a dog walk with my friend this afternoon too.

Isla wants her bedroom painted now and so I’ll be sorting it all out again!

Can you guess what Isla’s favourite character is? 🤣

The Winter Sun has been so beautiful over the last few days. I think today we’re going to see a change to cloudy skies.

I love this photo. The low sun and the kids having a little adventure. I spend a lot of my time watching them interact. I guess that’s a big part of parenthood. Learning and growing.

Have you been making the most of the weather?

A little corner of my office… I spend most of my week here so it’s nice to pretty it up sometimes. I even managed to blur out the water marks on the windows (they need a good clean).

My tax return has been submitted and my assignment has too! Quite a day for submissions and I’m relieved. I’m in the last year of uni and I’m so grateful for the support I’ve had to complete it. I am focussed on finishing, which is giving me the mindset to get it done.

What did you do today that your relieved about?

Daddy = “Kids please don’t try and walk on the ice”….
Kids = ☝🏻

They kept edging towards the pond, “I just want to break the ice”. They did make me laugh. And yes, they ignored the instructions. But they did only tap the ice with their toes.

It made for a little adventure this afternoon. I love this Winter sun!

Do your kids love standing on frozen puddles?

Watching Isla and her fellow 8,500 strong choir perform at the O2 arena this evening was just magical.

I absolutely loved it. The songs they performed, the entertainment in-between and the atmosphere in the arena was just phenomenal.

I got quite caught up seeing all of the children and their glowing torches. I could feel their smiles and sense of pride from across the room.

Such a great evening and raising money for a great cause too. @_place2be. Thank you @yvconcerts it was amazing!

Have you ever been to a Little Voices concert?

The frost is so beautiful 🥶 I love the days where it is frosty but super sunny. The sun was beaming into my office today. It made my heart happy.

This weather is definitely snuggle & binge watch TV shows kind of weather. I’ve started watching Bloodlines on Netflix. I started it as I just loved “Judy” from Dead to Me and thought I’d give this a try. It’s quite gripping & I’ve not been too good at predicting the storyline so far. Which usually I can!

Do you have any Wintery snuggle shows that I need to add to my watch list?

As views go: this has to be one of my favourites. Paddleboarding, in the sunshine and on a calm river. It just looks so beautiful and really relaxes me.

I haven’t braved the paddleboard in the Winter months yet. I haven’t fallen in yet, but it would just be my luck! Have you done this before?

My other favourite views are closely followed with the beach… on a sunny day where the big fluffy clouds are floating on the horizon. And, finally, at the top of a Tor. As the views are always pretty breathtaking.

What is your favourite kind of view?

We escaped the house today, in-between the rain showers, and got some much needed fresh air and family time. The Sun shone beautifully in the winter sky.

Snoopy did so well as we walked for about 90 minutes. He had a few breaks in the waggon (did you see my stories?) and I carried him the last stretch.

It was our first family walk without our little pal, it felt wrong. I felt guilty for being out with Snoopy. But then I pictured little Rambie walking by our side and that made me smile.

Isla still cries at night time. I wish I could make her pain better. We are all still struggling to get over our loss. He really has left the biggest Jack Russell sized hole in our family.

Anyone else get out in the Winter Sun today?

I had a big surprise this evening… what I thought was a chilled pizza night with one of my friends - turned into a surprise 40th get together for pizza and Prosecco with my beautiful “yoga” friends.

We built our friendship over the last year doing yoga and I’m so glad we did. They are an amazing group of women and I’m proud to call them my friends. It’s funny as, all bar one, I knew before yoga.

We laugh. We cry. We chat. We rant. We eat. We drink. We smile.

Thank you so much ladies. I am very grateful. After receiving Rambos ashes today and losing focus, I’m glad I could cry and laugh with you all tonight.

What a lovely weekend celebrating turning forty. Thank you to my lovely friends and family for everything you did.

Afternoon teas, curry’s & cocktails and roast dinners. And… lots of cake. All of my favourite things!

I had surprises from as far as Dubai and lots of lovely keepsakes to celebrate my birthday and remember Rambo. 🐾 I am very grateful.

I didn’t get many photos, which is not like me, these are a snapshot of my birthday evening. I’m glad I managed to smile. Thank you everyone. 😘

How to reduce Christmas guilt this year

How to reduce Christmas guilt this year

By MummyConstantDecember 14, 20226 Comments

Worrying about everyone can be my biggest issue, every Christmas. I always get the Christmas guilt. Have I got the right presents? Do I need to buy more presents? Have I seen people? But you can also feel it when the pressure comes to buy the latest and greatest things for your kids. I also feel guilty about spending time with the family as I work right up to Christmas, usually.
