Today was a lovely Sunday, we started it by all the kids climbing into our bed late and wanting to play family Wordscapes on the iPad and being lazy in our pjs and staying in bed far later than we normally do. And then we took Granny out for a really nice pub lunch only to find the time had changed 😱😂 and we had gone most of the day without even knowing. Which also meant the baby slept till 9am along with the other kiddos and we got the lie in of our life. 🤪🥰🤪 We all couldn’t stop laughing and lucky for us our phones change automatically so we still made our lunch reservation on time and pigged out on delicious food. Phew what a day. Love that we got so much relaxing in too 🤣🤣🤣The sun even came out and we squeezed in a family walk. If only every Sunday could be has calming. How did your weekend go?

Looking ahead to half term and some quiet time wit

Looking ahead to half term and some quiet time with my family. Sadly we had to cancel our half term holiday to Wales 😫 and it’s been a tough time lately. But I want to thank you all for your amazing support, the messages pouring in over the last few days have not just warmed my heart but made me feel not alone at a very heartbreaking time. I have been blown away at how much the online community on here has shown me their love. People I have never met reaching out to offer an ear, love, tips, support and advice. It’s revalidated my faith that there is still good, genuine caring people in this world. I know there is always someone hurting more or having a harder time, I always try to stay strong, pull myself together for my kids and keep focusing on the positive things around me. While I continue to battle my goodbyes to my love ones this week I will also resume posting happy, bubbly content because that’s life as a family - it’s a mix of all of it isn’t it??? So some days I might pour my heart out and some days I might babble on and on about Pumpkin hummus because it’s something good to focus on. Thank you so so much for your amazing messages, DM, comments and love during this difficult time. You all rock! 🎸 Who says online friends aren’t really friends? #lifecloseup

Today I said my last goodbyes to my friend who was

Today I said my last goodbyes to my friend who was taken from us unfairly at age 39 years old. I cuddled her baby thinking how can this be? We gathered with a small few cause Covid has prevented us a bigger one. I was struck by more bad news that my eldest brother is in trauma unit fighting his own battle with cancer in his brain. I feel numb with all the pain that cancer has brought to my life. I feel like grief is never going to leave me cause just when I think I am coming to terms with one loved one leaving me another is in their place fighting for their life. The big C scares me more than anything and tonight I snuggled my own babies petrified for what the future holds and trying to explain to them what cancer is and why we keep having to say goodbye to those we love so dearly. It’s a very sad and difficult time and with covid it’s making saying goodbye that much hard with family and friends. 💔💔💔

Thought I would play a little game.. getting us al

Thought I would play a little game.. getting us all chatting and interacting. I am one of those people that love to get to know other people’s quirts. 🤪 I also been known to be call weird on a few occasions myself. So come on... I will tell you mine if you tell me yours. 🥰🥰🥰.1. When I first get out of bed, I have to instantly make it. (With the hundred one various sizes pillows and cushions just right).
2. When I have a milkshake I have to have skinny french fries to dip in it. Has to be vanilla not chocolate.
3. I hate pickles. Or pickled anything it makes me think of sweaty sports shoes. 😝
4. If you move things in my house, I will know and I can’t sit and watch tv until they are moved back. My cousin once came to visit me and showed up before I got off work and rearranged all the shelves in my house 😱😱Took me half sec to notice.
5. If I am home alone I stay up way past midnight watching box sets but if everyone is home I somehow get tired and need my bed by 10pm lol 😂
6. I can bake and do nibbles well but I can’t cook meat very good. I always over do it in fear of undercooking it. Anyone else?
7. I take everything out of my closet once a year, clean the shelves and try everything on and only out back what I will wear. Then for a month I seem to have these new old clothes to wear again. 👍🏻
8. I make 15 pumpkin pies every year for family and friends but no one in my immediate family even like it so I actually don’t make one for us. 😂
9. I take hundreds of photos of the same thing before I usually settle on the first one I took to share lol 😝 Hubby says he can’t tell the difference, oh but I can!
10.I stuff all our shoes with dryer sheets to make them smell good.
11. If I like a top I buy it in every color 🤷‍♀️
12. I have yet to find a pair of shoes that don’t hurt my feet - flats or heels. 🤬
13. When I am mad, I scrub the house like a crazy person. When I am sad, I scrub the house like a madman. When I am happy, I think about scrubbing and find something more fun to do. 🤓How about you??? Come on weird food combos? Funny quirts? Any bad habits?

Came in from our make shift kitchen in the garage

Came in from our make shift kitchen in the garage to find these two playing dress up, snuggling and watching tv. She is mama number two for this little tot. It was the sweetest thing as they didn’t know I had walked in and she was stroking his back and talking about the show they were watching. It was a sweet moment to sneak upon and I love when I see my kids loving each other so much. I hope their bond stays forever strong. 💗

This little boy has put a smile on my face today.

This little boy has put a smile on my face today. Fridays are our days together. Sometimes we do lots and sometimes we just hang around the house snuggling and reading stories taking life at a slower pace. That is just what we needed today. He tells the funny jokes and his sense of humor is something to truly belly laugh over. Can’t deny his love for cars and tractors we have gone round and round with them all day. I love this age where everything is new and exciting to them. Where they copy everything you do and say like cute little puppets. We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Hopefully weather gives us some blue skies for a nice family bike ride. #lifecloseup

Take me back to @windmillanimalfarm where the sky

Take me back to @windmillanimalfarm where the sky was blue, pumpkins were everywhere and the kids were happily giggling over a train ride and a corn maize. Today has been one of those days I would like to erase. Possibly all of 2020 too. But we won’t get dramatic. We have cancelled our trip to Wales and our trip to Hawaii this week. It seems we take one step forward and about four steps back. There is no light at the end of the tunnel when we keep going around in circles. The unknown scares me to death. The stress of trying to lead a normal life right now is heavy. It’s a lonely world now with new restrictions in a place I often already felt lonely being so far away from home and my family. The questions of when will I see my mom again and the rest of my family weigh hard on my shoulder. I keep wanting to pop on here with some good news but sadly I have no good to report today. So I am scrolling through sunny terms but emotionally and literally in my camera roll. Hope you all are keeping your head above water. #lifecloseup

When I am down I always start making homemade reci

When I am down I always start making homemade recipes in the kitchen. It’s therapeutic and cheers me up. There is something about creating something from nothing that feels like such a big achievement and if it turns out tasty even more so. Finding this week hard with our home out of sorts and my emotions out of sorts not being able to do the things that calm and center me. I am anxious about any new restrictions when I was only just beginning to feel half normal again when will it all end. I miss my family. I miss my friends. And in hard times such as losing a close friend so young I need them all more than ever and yet I can’t have them. We were praying my mom would be able to come visit but that looks bleak in light of the new tier system now too. 💔💔 so over covid and what the world is becoming in its path. So I have been burying my head in fabric options for chairs because somehow third world problems is a pleasant distraction at the moment. What do you do to distract yourself or calm you?

My little baker is missing the kitchen as much as

My little baker is missing the kitchen as much as I am right now. She has been such a great help in our little corner of the garage with our hot plate to create some make shift meals these past few weeks while we renovate the kitchen. A few things as you can expect have been delayed and our furniture looks like it will be February 😩😱🤪 for delivery so Christmas should be interesting on the floor but we are getting there. It will be so worth it I am told in the end. Either way it’s not stopped this one from getting her apron on and helping out at dinner time. I love that she loves baking and cooking as much as I do. Can’t wait till she can make me a full dinner on her own lol that will be luxury as I am the only cook in the house. Are you the chef or your partner or both? Do your kids love to help too? #kidsinthekitchen🍴 #kidsintekitchen #lifecloseup #kidscooking #kidsbaking
