For once I am actually not going to do my usual exclamation of just how quick the month has gone. This is because it hasn't actually whizzed by like most months do. In fact I would go as far as to say September has dragged a little in our house. That isn't necessarily because it has been bad, far from it, but firstly we have some nice things to look forward to in October which means I am ... Read the Post
{The Ordinary Moments 15} #10 A Girly Weekend.
Last weekend I went away for three whole nights without my girls- the longest I have been away without them since they were born. The reason for my absence? I was off having my first 'proper' girly weekend in years, I have been on a fair few nights away but it's usually a rush to get home in the morning, never have I had a whole few days to myself. I have said before that blogging has bought a ... Read the Post

The girl's behaved (reasonably) well considering how long and not ... Read the Post

We have been discussing plans back and forth for so long that I still can't believe it has been and gone now. The wedding was held in the most idyllic boutique hotel in the Peak District and we headed up there on Thursday lunchtime ready for a weekend of wedding fun. The bride looked beautiful, the ...

{The Ordinary Moments 14} #8 ‘Special Friendships’
Friendships are a funny old thing when you become a Mother. I am lucky to have some great friendships in my life- a couple are old friends from school or university, some are friends I have met through Mr E, some are from having my girls, and some are through blogging. Others I have just met somewhere along the way. We have a few close friends that we socialise with as a couple. Then ... Read the Post
