The parenting rollercoaster – stop the ride I …

As a mum of three, including 3 year-old twins, I often get asked “How do you do it?”. If I’m brutally honest, somedays I really don’t know! Recently I’ve been finding this whole parenting lark hard. Really hard. All three of our children seem to waking up before 6am, particularly…

Slimming World update

Recently I’ve been suffering from post-holiday blues and have been feeling a bit low. As a result I’ve fallen off the healthy living wagon and my skin has suffered. My skin is normally pretty good. However, the past few weeks I’ve had loads of breakouts. It’s also lacked that nice…
