Things happen in our lives to try us.  Those moments that make us question ourselves, the world around us and how we can improve things going forward.

This week has been full of these moments for me.  I’ve tried my best to shake off the last trying moment in order to deal with the next.  I have failed.  It has been one thing after another and if I’m honest it has gotten the better of me.… View Post

Preschool | When you don’t get a preschool place

Yesterday confirmed something which if I’m honest I already knew but had buried my head in the sand over. Piglet isn’t likely to get a preschool placement at our local school starting in January. Actually, I’m not convinced that she’ll get a place for next September either.… View Post

Redundancy | Two Years On

Facebook memories have the ability to either bring a smile to your face or stop you in your tracks for a moment.  This morning as we were driving to Chessington World of Adventures on a family day out.  I sat scrolling through my Facebook timeline to pass the time away.  A notification to say I had Facebook memories to look at prompted me to click-through and take a look.… View Post

Lunch On A Pirate Ship, The Hunger Games and tonsillitis #LittleLoves

It’s been a while since I shared a #LittleLoves post.  After it was changed from a weekly to a monthly link up I kind of lost my way.  Life is so hectic that I can barely recall what happened last week never mind what happened at the beginning of the month.  So what I’m trying to say is that I missed sharing a little snapshot of our lives each week.  And I’m hoping to start adding a #LittleLoves post up each week once again.… View Post

It’s mid-July already and the summer is fast approaching.  By this point in the year, I have usually arranged all our summer plans.  This year, however, it’s a relaxed affair – that is code for I haven’t had the time to even think about it yet.… View Post

From The Bookshelf, The Royal Wedding and Peppa Pig World #LittleLoves

This is the first month of the #LittleLoves linky being hosted monthly.  If I’m honest, I have missed not sharing a weekly update.  It’s been strange to sit here this morning and ponder about what the month of May has held for us.  With brain struggling to think back seven days, you can only imagine how hard it has had to work recalling a month’s worth of activities.… View Post

Book Fair, Chatterbox and LEGOLAND Windsor #LittleLoves

With a mixture of sun, wind and rain that is another week almost over.  It’s been a here, there and everywhere kind of week.  With numerous appointments, meetings and surprises that I’m quite looking forward to a quiet weekend at home. Although having completed next to no housework all week I need to have a bit of a blitz.… View Post
