Baby it’s cold outside...frosted greenery, white

Baby it’s cold outside...frosted greenery, white angels, cozy by the fire with a good book and a hot mug is the perfect winter day. I have been working nonstop each weekend so I try to give myself a day once a week where it’s ok to be lazy, read during the day, and out my feet up. I used to feel so guilty if I did this while the kids were at school but with my kind of job the reality is I work most evenings and weekends and it doesn’t matter what day I take my time off work as long as I do it. I went three years without taking a day that I wasn’t doing emails, phone calls, social sharing, writing, photographing, editing and more. I will tell you I burned out quick. I got really sick and it took a long time to recharge and find balance. Whilst technically I did post a few things and do a few emails this morning I have had a relaxing recharged afternoon before the kids needed picked up, homework needed done, and Spanish tutoring.how about you? When are your days off? Are they normal weekends or random adhoc days off during the week like me? Do you find it hard to shut off?

My boys 💙💙 giggling their way through life.

My boys 💙💙 giggling their way through life. They both love to be silly. When one starts high school the other will be starting reception. Oh it’s going to be emotional ride. But for now they are two peas in a pod terrorising the house. Boys are so hard on a home. With all the new renovations I feel like I am constantly holding my breathe that something will get broke. Do you find boys are harder on the house than girls? Or maybe just in my case but bring on the bubble wrap for Christmas please I think we are going to need it. It’s only a matter of time before one throw something at all these glass bifold doors. 😬 We already had to call the kitchen installers back because the kids broke the new faucet. Wish us luck! Anyone else find things get stained, broken, dropped, chipped and ruined so quickly around the house with kids?#PreviouslyGifted @kids_around @hugo_official tops and coats 💙💙

How beautiful was the first of December? It was frosty and cold but the sky was blue and those are my fave kind of winter days. We are in full countdown mode for Xmas. Only 25 days left and then it’s my bday too! December is one of my fave months of the whole year. I am even more excited this year for Xmas because this little dude will be truly into the magic and opening his pressies. He has been squealing when he sees Xmas lights and reading stories about Santa. It’s so much more magical experiencing Xmas through children’s eyes. I love it! Are you seeing Santa virtually or in person this year???

She is the helpful one. The second mommy to our little crew of boys. My little shadow. She is sensitive and kind yet stubborn and determined. (Like her mama) 🥰 Sometimes she still curls up in my lap like my little baba and other times I look over and her mature mannerisms shine bright and I wonder how did she get so big so fast. I hate how fast time goes. Even in lockdown and a year where we really haven’t been out of the house it seems to be flying by (not that anyone would complain about 2020 blurring into our distant memory) but even my friends kids all seem so grown up and different having not seen them each day like we normally would. It’s like we have missed a whole year of their growing and changing too! I don’t even really see my kids classmates anymore with separate drop off times due to covid and I don’t recognise some of them that have changes so much. I am blabbing here but just last night hubby and I were talking about how fast times goes and how each stage of our lives seems like dream of another life almost. Childhood memories so far behind us even our young adult days of going out and nothing matters but meeting up with friends and staying out late. Now I can imagine I will look back at when my kids were young and think gosh that seems like another life time ago! What about you? Do you feel like your childhood was yesterday or almost a completely different life time ago?

Just like that Thanksgiving decorations are put aw

Just like that Thanksgiving decorations are put away and Christmas is out. With the new open plan I can’t believe how much more festive the house feels abs I can’t wait for the month of festivities at home. Loads of furniture is delayed but friends have let us borrow things here and there and it feels perfect for the holidays. We even got our Xmas pjs out earlier than normal because why not get more wear out of them 😂 I do apologize for the Xmas spam ahead I just love all this new light we have in the house. Squeal!!! Did you have your decorations up earlier than usual this year???

#AD We have started Potty Training! A big mileston

#AD We have started Potty Training! A big milestone in every tot’s life and for parents too. This will be my third time potty training so I know what to expect or not expect straight away. There will be accidents there will be emotions and frustrations but we will get there. We have teamed up with @pullupsuk as we've been using Pull-Ups Trainers recently to help us along the way. They have a learning layer that helps him know when he is ready to go and an indicator when he has wet himself. For us, it’s all about the rewards and trying to make it as fun as possible for him. From introducing him to his new Pull-Ups Trainers, to teaching him where his potty is, how to easily pull them up or down and how to tell us when he needs to go and using the potty on his own. There are lots of milestones along his journey to reward him for with a lovely sticker and treat. Why not celebrate your Big Kid’s Training milestones by checking out this link for your FREE sample, reward chart, and stickers. You can capture your child’s journey to becoming a big kid too using the #BigKidGame along with us. So far O is really interested in wearing his Pull-Ups Trainers and sitting on his potty next to the big potty. He lights up every time he gets a sticker for reaching one of his milestones too. Don’t worry there will be lots of #fails too. That’s all part of the learning processes. Important thing to do is make it as stress free, calm and fun as possible! Good luck!! #BigKidGame @pullupsuk

Happy Turkey Day! 🦃 We gobbled, we crafted, we

Happy Turkey Day! 🦃 We gobbled, we crafted, we stuffed ourselves silly, ate pumpkin pie a few times over, played with our PhotoBooth props as we do every year and had such a nice thanksgiving even though we couldn’t have our friends over like we normally do. We were so thankful and amazed how many of you join us in #thanksgivingworldwide hoping next year we can double it. Everyone should have a day to celebrate what they are thankful for!!! ❤️🦃 I am thankful for all you that follow, like, comment, engage and support me here. With all of you I wouldn’t have a job and it means the world to me. #lifecloseup

It’s Thanksgiving Eve...the pies are baked, the table is set, the pumpkins are still out. We are ready for our turkey feast tomorrow. Baby O even had full #thanksgivingworldwide at nursery today and made homemade turkey puppets! Hooray 😄 It’s just us and our bubble so smaller than we normally gather but we have so much to be thankful for. I hope no matter where you live that tomorrow over your dinner meal perhaps you can share what your thankful for with your loved ones and celebrate Thanksgiving too! A year where we all need something to celebrate.

Take me back to Scotland when the sun was shining

Take me back to Scotland when the sun was shining and we were staying at the most gorgeous estate with friends and family. Where we could gather, explore and get out when we wanted. Fingers crossed lockdown opens back up for Xmas and that we can find some normal routines in 2021. I miss normality and routine so badly. Kids in sports and gym days and lunch dates and weekends out. We have a lot to catch up on when life resumes. Hope everyone is safe and healthy. Hope everyone is doing ok. Have you all got your Xmas trees up yet? My hubby is usually convinced I am the first one in England to do it the day after thanksgiving (which is Thursday) but this year I think half the country beat me. 😜 #lifecloseup

What a day. TGIF It’s been one of those weeks and I plan on not getting dressed this weekend, enjoying movies and crafts with the kids and soaking up a non working weekend. I don’t have many of them but I am going to make the most of this one. So don’t worry I didn’t disappear forever but it might be next week before I emerge again. lol I plan on doing a big clear out too before Xmas. Do you do this? Fingers crossed it’s a relaxing and productive house declutter weekend. What do you have planned for the weekend ahead?? #lifecloseup
