One more week of homeschool, juggling baby and wor

One more week of homeschool, juggling baby and work and house chores too. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I am feeling motivated and more myself again with the nice weather we have been having too. Now we just need to stop all the baking because a year of baking is not good for the waistline. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ We are loving this amazing sunshine that has been recharging our batterie let’s hope we get the same amazing spring we had last year. Fingers crossed. On a side note...how cute is this bee apron my mother made MM and I have a matching one for spring. What will you do first when the kids go back to school next week? Work in blissful silence, have a coffee in peace? Or how about both! It really is the simple things that we all will cherish coming out of lockdown. #lifecloseup #snaphappybritmums #homebakingisthebest #homebakingrocks #homebaking #baking #bakingfromscratch #bakingtherapy #bakingwithkids #kidsbaking #bakingkids #aprons #apronstyle #apronlove

Today was glorious...hello spring! We saw the lamb

Today was glorious...hello spring! We saw the lambs while we got sandwiches from our farm shop -yum, went for a walk around the canal, put the bouncy castle up and the kids literally jumped for four and half hours straight and had all the bifold doors open all day with the sun beaming on us. It was the recharge we needed to take on our last week of lockdown homeschool next week. We are ready to tackle it one last time! Hopefully never again too. Most of my family in USA and P’s family here have been vaccinated so we are pretty happy tonight. Roll on normality for us all. What did you do in the sunshine this weekend??? #lifecloseup #snaphappybritmums #blueskiesandsunshine #sundayvibes✨ #farmshop #happysundays

#AD @tescofood | Are your kids sick of cheese sandwiches? Yup, mine too. Racking your brain for something new to whip up for lunch? We have teamed up with @tescofood and using the Tesco Recipe Website to get inspired. They have you covered with a whole list of kids affordable lunches using lunch staples like jacket potatoes, bread, rice, egg, pasta, tortilla wraps and more. All of the recipes are easy and quick to make as we are all busy come lunch time. Tesco has great value and quality food perfect to make affordable lunches like this... Smoked Cheddar and Kidney Bean Wrap we made today. It turned out a hit!!! I would have never thought about putting kidney beans in a quesadilla and it’s no secret we love sharing our wrap combinations. Calling #tortillatrend with this one right? A little mint and tomatoes to complete their lunches made for a quick and NEW kid lunch to add to your favorites. What do you think - smoked cheddar and kidney bean wraps for lunch tomorrow??? The Tesco Recipe Website has lots of combinations to try so check it out and pop over to our stories to see these being made!!!Recipe:
1 tortilla wrap
Handful grated smoked cheddar cheese
Handful drained, washed, canned kidney beans
Add cheese and beans inside tortilla wrap, fold, grill for 1 min on both sides in small frying pan. Serve with tomatoes, cucumbers and mint leaves if desired. Salt and pepper to taste.

Quick share all the snowy snaps because it definit

Quick share all the snowy snaps because it definitely seems like spring is upon us and no turning back. (I hope). I may have two or three that I was desperate to share and just haven’t had the chance. It’s not often we get lovely snow. Although I am definitely sick of all the layers of coats, hats, and gloves. Anyone else? I can’t wait for dresses and flip flops !!!! #lifecloseup

#AD | Most of us are combining learning and playin

#AD | Most of us are combining learning and playing on a daily basis but ideas are running thin. Why not gather some recyclables around the house and try these Spring Flower Boxes. We have been crafting to #BeatTheBoredom with @Ryman using our recyclables to stay #StayThrifty whilst giving our stationery a refresh. With old cereal boxes and old used straws we made some fun, colorful Spring flower Boxes to give to our loved ones that we haven’t been able to see during lockdown. They would also make amazing Mother’s Day gifts coming up too! They are so easy to make, pop over to our stories to see how! We used some Math learning while we were figuring how many pedals and leaves each flower box needed and more learning while crafting by measuring with a ruler too. It’s easy to learn and play while crafting and more importantly so much fun! Go on #ShowUsHowYouMakeIt too - we want to see! Tag us!

I don’t want to....yup I think that sums up ever

I don’t want to....yup I think that sums up everyone’s start to this week. It is definitely apparent that everyone is sick of homeschool and sick of lockdown all over the world. Whilst we will have more answers tonight and school returns March 8th I am praying with everyone bone in my body that as we open up there will never be another lockdown. I don’t think me or the kids would make it in Lockdown v.4. I am now just focusing on getting the most out of the kids being home for two more weeks. Not pressuring them too much not overwhelming myself too much. Now all I need is the gym to open up so I can get rid of the lockdown spare tire I have gained from not moving enough at home. One walk a day just isn’t enough. Good luck this week everyone!!!! #backtoschool #schoolisback #schoolisbackinsession #schoolisinsession #homeschoolinglife #homeschooluk #homeschoolinguk #homeschoolmum #homeschoolmum

Daddy survived his eye surgery yesterday. For some

Daddy survived his eye surgery yesterday. For some that are eye squeamish you can understand whilst loads of people get lasic it can be awful for others. Men shouldn’t be patients though he wouldn’t let me help him put eye drops in even though he kept dropping them on his eyebrows at first. He hates anyone near his eyes 😬 He paced our hotel room for most of the night in pain. It was a sleepless one but I felt helpless bless him. He said it was rather painful first few hours but we are back home and have had his check up this morning to make sure all was well. Now I am hoping his eyesight is better because he was blind as a bat before. I did joke though now he will see all my wrinkles clearly instead of blurry so I hope he still fancies me. Lol 😝 But three kids and a patient is exhausting early bed tonight. Hotel was eerie quiet. Felt weird to stay over but almost nice to have an evening without a trillion mommy mommy mommy instead it was wifey wifey wifey 🤔🤣🤣😝😝 Hope you all are having a good weekend. #lifecloseup

House is tidy, kids are in bed and I think a bath

House is tidy, kids are in bed and I think a bath and a good book is calling my name. How is everyone finding half term? I don’t think the weather even knows what it’s doing either? Of course we took a walk and another walk. Pretty much all we can do. Played board games, did puzzles, crafted, baked and kids are completely iPad blind as I call it. Eek but hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel and we don’t ever have to be lockdown again. One can dream ..... right 🧐

We pulled ourselves out of the house today. With w

We pulled ourselves out of the house today. With warmer temperatures and rain threatening the rest of the week we had to whether we felt like it or not. Once we got out there we all felt better for it. What turned out a new little path we found behind our house turned into a two and half hour walk. We returned home with noodle legs and rose kissed cheeks. I think these two needed to just run wild through the woods and fields without restrictions of any kind. I don’t know about your house but we are finding lockdown this time hard. Half term stuck inside this time hard. Not seeing friends and family harder. We need light at the end of the tunnel soon. Most days I can pick myself up but I will admit I am finding it harder to do so I am in a funk. Kids are bored and I am running out of ideas. So today was just what we needed. Just get out with no plan. No rush to get back. We did get rained on slightly but it was ok because it is finally warmer out. We have celebrated with pizza ordered in and movie night after church tonight. I am hoping tomorrow I wake up on the right side of the bed 🤔🤞🏻🤪 #lifecloseup #lockdownfunk #haftermfun #snaphappybritmums
