It’s beginning to look a lot …

Personally I find Christmas quite stressful. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas Day and the excitement from the kids. It’s the run up that gets me stressed. Life’s already pretty frantic, but throw in present buying, wrapping, card writing and distributing, baking and house decorating and I’m literally on…

Easy like Sunday…

I love Sundays. They just seem so much calmer than the rest of the week. Saturdays are for shopping and running errands, where as Sundays are for pyjama days, long breakfasts, lie ins (before kids that is) reading Sunday papers (even if I don’t get chance to read them until…

Still pondering…

In my last post, we’d just returned from our holiday and I was pondering things, well that continues… As usual we’ve had a busy few months. We’ve been having a huge extension on our house ( I’m sure I’ve mentioned it) which has been a nightmare – not a great…

Time to reflect

I’m sat on the train heading to work after an amazing two week holiday in Benahavis, Spain. I’m really going to miss the kids today. The twins have got such great little personalities now (and Henry started walking about 6 weeks ago) and it was lovely having two weeks of…
