Today has been a bizarre day. You may have seen on

Today has been a bizarre day. You may have seen on my blog that today the caretaker from the kiddies first school was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

He was charged with 21 crimes against children. He got 5 years. We’ve been informed we are not one of the families to fall victim to this predator. However it still doesn’t sit well...

We trusted him. I left my kiddies with him in after school clubs, parties, swimming pool parties... he helped me to set up Noah’s Halloween birthday party... the kids loved him and parents loved him. He’s broken me a little bit as I thought I was a good judge of character. He was such a lovely man.

Then I find out he’s been filming kiddies in the toilets, in his home undressing (for a pool party) and filming them in the first aid room. So he can self gratify himself! It’s disgusting.

I’m left feeling guilty and angry. I can’t stop the guilt feelings that my babies could have been in harms way. Everyday. Near a predator that preyed on the vulnerable. From the age of 4.

He’s been on bail for 2 months and everyday I’ve contemplated what I’d do if we saw him around town. The kids would naturally say hello. I think I’d be sick.

This isn’t quite an #orange post, albeit my @lilylulufashion jumper looks orangey golden in the sun. This has consumed me today!

Today has been a busy one and by 3pm I just wanted to sleep! Too many conference calls. The house was empty all day too and to be honest that felt weird. I think it added to my tiredness.

The kids cycled 15 miles around Rutland today. I am so proud of them. I love the fact they will try anything we throw at them. The past few months have shown just how resilient, hardworking and #bright they are.

They couldn’t wait to tell me all about their day; they stopped at a pub for lunch and how they cycled all that way. You could see their happiness shining through their eyes. They sparkled.

This photo is from our trip to Sea Palling the other week. It makes me happy. Another beautiful lockdown memory.

Have you done anything your proud of during lockdown?

I think one of my very favourite things is a good #sunset. I feel so energised by the beauty and the landscape all around me.

This is the kind of photo that, if I had the skills, would become a painting on the wall. It makes me feel happy.

I think the sense of freedom that this photo captures, the colours, the patterns, the golden sun and teeny humans in the background... it’s just one of my faves.

Anyone else like taking photos of the sun setting?

We made our #happy today out in the fresh air. @rutlandwater was lovely as there was enough space for everyone. Including the ducks and geese.

We had a scoot for an hour and then had a picnic watching the lake. We met up with some friends too, which was nice but I’m still feeling anxious about it all.

This week Daddy day care is on duty... he has lots planned with the kids. They are going to have so much fun together.

I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately. Thinking back to last Summer and comparing how different things are this time around. Thinking about behaviours and how I can do things differently and how the outcomes might be different.

I’m trying to lose the shouty Mummyness and chill. The kids do respond better when I say things calmly or even with a little banter. Today has been one of those days where I feel frustrated. I just wanted a quiet day where I could sit and #reminisce.

7 years ago today I lost my Grandad... he was 90 and had been a rock throughout my life. We still talk about him everyday: either the way he used to cook food, the types of things he did, said and ate and we smile.

Today is a date but I don’t stop missing him throughout the year. So I’m dealing with this date better as each year passes. I’m definitely learning to live with the bloody great big hole he left.

August is here! Here are the photo prompts for the August photo challenge: #mummyphotoaday.

I’ve tried to keep the words generic so you can make the most out of them, lockdown is easing but not fully and so it can be difficult to do our normal Summer thing.

I’m excited to see everyone’s photos, we had a lot of new people join in last month which is fantastic: @__adventures_by_the_sea__ @_adventures_of_mummy_and_me_ @clairesmith9 @fours_to_be_reckoned_with @creating_a_magical_childhood @lifesanadventure_uk @sweetlittleconfetti

Don’t forget to use the hashtag #mummyphotoaday and then we can all find your posts, we have a great community who love to like and comment.

Tag your friends and photo lovers below, anyone who you think would love to join in with the photo challenge... 📸

These guys have had a good week. They’ve absolutely smashed Summer Camp and ended the week with beaming smiles. A high five to that.

We’ve met #friends in the park and the kids made new friends at camp too. The kiddies really needed it and it felt so good to let them have some time away from the house and us.

Isla won the performer of the week trophy 🏆 and Noah lost a tooth today and earned himself a medal too.

We celebrated with a dip in a cold paddling pool and a Marvel movie on @disneyplusuk. Which kicked off Daddy’s annual leave for 2 weeks... I think there will be a lot of beach trips and maybe camping trips. Or lots more fun in the garden...
