Just me and these two monkeys on Monday nights. We

Just me and these two monkeys on Monday nights. We color, we snack, we play, they take a bath and read stories all together while the eldest is out with Daddy for football. I love our Monday nights together. MM plays second mother to her baby brother and he loves the attention from us both. I was sat listening to them giggle in the bath tonight thinking gosh they are so alike. I always think it’s my boys that look and act identical but Baby O is so much like his sister too. I used to think their big age gap would be too much for them to bond and play as equals but as he is nearing two years old actually it seems smaller than ever before. It’s a special bond they have together. I feel so complete having my three kiddos. It’s truly a magical number for me. One brother to protect his sister and one so she can mother him. 💙💗💙

What calms you? Family time is the very best for m

What calms you? Family time is the very best for me. I am trying some new treatment for my dizziness as it’s at an all time high, not going to lie it’s intense but my family is my rock and getting me through it together. Hopefully this time next year I can drive normal, watch tv without feeling motion sickness and my balance will come back and I can workout probably again. Little things we take for granted daily until we are faced with them not working for us. Our society is so busy much busier than our brains ever coped with before so if I can pass one thing onto to all my followers it’s to take time to just breathe and be calm every day. Sounds simple right. It’s not. No distractions, no devices, no thoughts, no movement. Time yourself see how long you can go without your busy to do list getting in the way or forgetting to do those inhale breathing deep within you. Slowing down isn’t just about not working. We wrap ourselves in busy things in between big jobs and it’s no wonder we all are tired all the time. Do you take time out each day to just have “breathing time” it sounds crazy but it can really have a knock on effect if you don’t down the road. Don’t overdo life it’s what I have been told I have been doing for too long. I will share my journey here on how I am getting along. Pass on my tips and what has and hasn’t worked for me too. Go on sounds silly but sit with your feet flat on the floor and empty your mind and take deep breaths for a few minutes! GOOD LUCK! #lifecloseup #battlingvertigo #vertigosucks #dizziness #dizzinessrelief #ptsdrecovery #emdrtherapy @right_brain_thinking 📸

Oh I am missing long days of no routines and prett

Oh I am missing long days of no routines and pretty snow falling and sleeping in. Take me back to the holidays where we could eat and be merry and bright with no obligations. This week has been beating a delayed jetlag, catching up on house renovations, cleaning and oh the laundry will it ever stop? I need a month just to get right again and motivated. So to beat the holiday blues we are looking where we want to go next and I think it just might be a skiing holiday. We put our new @polarnopyretuk to the test in America and can’t wait to use it all again soon. Check out our full review on my blog tonight. Comment below: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SKI RESORT? Go on give me some suggestions or tag them here. #familyski #familyskitrip #skiingfamily #familyskiing #gifted

Welcome new comers or ones catching up because we

Welcome new comers or ones catching up because we all know the algorithm doesn’t like us to see everyone anymore. 😜 Thought I would share a bit about me that you might not know just by looking over my grid. 1. I love food, lots of food and most food. 2. I have a fear of missing out full FOMO yo! 3. I don’t watch tv but I could binge watch USA reality shows just to check out. 4. I love reading but I don’t like just reading chapter by chapter I want to sit reading the entire book in a day. 5. I clean when I am upset like a madman. 6. I love to color but not in adult coloring books, I prefer kids big lines and fun characters not small tiny lines. 7. I don’t like most alcohol and hate wine. 😳😜#sorrynotsorry 8. I love building dens with the kids and making homemade popcorn which we do almost every weekend. 9. I drink hot water but hate cold water. 10. I am super anxious in big groups now as I get older it gets worse which doesn’t help me with number 2! 😆😬 11. I suffer from dizziness which was first put to vertigo but now they think it’s ptsd. I will leave you with one last fact about me 12. I have a very white and grey house. It’s not at all child friendly even though I have three kids. 😂 It’s very clean and organized. So what you see on Instagram here is what you get offline too. 😘 What about you - tell me fun facts in the comments below about you. I want to know my followers, engage with you and support you back! What can you share that your grid doesn’t tell us?! #aboutme #thingsaboutme #10thingsaboutme #askmeanything #lifecloseup

What a weekend! I had the pleasure of visiting @landal_darwinforest to celebrate the glamorous @thekaedit for her fabulous 40th Birthday! It was a weekend filled with meeting new friends and catching up with others, and making a whole lot of memories while exploring the beautiful Darwin Forest. Our accommodations were fab too - made me want a hot tub at home. I could sit in this spot over looking the forest every night! Now time to get home to my kiddos whom I have missed so much and possibly an early bedtime. What did you get up to this weekend?

I am off for a weekend of celebrating a gorgeous lady that’s dear to my heart this weekend for her 40th birthday. Whoop whoop! There is a gang of us ladies with bags packed ready to take on our cabin with plenty of bubbly and gin. Sorry you DryJanuary folks we will keep it dry gin for you! 😜 A big thanks for my friend @etch.etc for making the cake topper sorry no sneak peak “yet” don’t want to spoil it for the bday girl! I love spoiling my friends on special occasions it’s just what I do. They are like family to me. It sounds like she has gathered a lovely bunch of ladies to join in too. Although I am always slightly nervous being the only American and alcohol involved with English ladies. My volume can be too high for some 😂😂😂🇺🇸💪🏻 it most 😳😳 so be warned ladies I am coming! Lol 😂 Just pass me more cake that will shut me up. 🧁 @thekaedit #happy40thbirthday #happy40th #happy40 🎈 My stories might get comical throughout the weekend or perhaps you might want to mute me I won’t take offence . You have all been warned. 🥰😆😂 Here we come! 💃🏼 💃🏼 #weekendcelebrations #weekendahead #weekendfun❤️

I love this boy! I love this stage! He is changing

I love this boy! I love this stage! He is changing every day. Talking nonstop sometimes gibberish sometimes full sentences that shock me. I don’t like how fast it always goes at this stage though. It seems my eldest was just this age and totting about now he is almost nine years old. Maybe it’s because he likes identical to his older brother at this age that makes me remember him being so little but I feel like I am watching nine years ago happen all over again with Baby O now. Whereas my middle daughter I don’t remember as much of her being a baby. It was like she was a newborn than a little girl. Probably cause I had two under two at the time 😂😂 But I feel bad I never got much one on one time with her as I did the boys. #momguiltisreal 😜 Because I know he is my last I want it to last the longest it can and soaking it up as much as I can because I’m just a few short less than a handful of months he will be two years old!!! Omg! How did that happen? Doesn’t it just sneak up on you? #lifecloseup #babyyears #babymilestone #babyroutine #babylifestyle #babysnow

⛸ swipe left... ⛸ Oh these kiddos were champs

⛸ swipe left... ⛸ Oh these kiddos were champs trying out ice skating for the very first time. I was impressed no one left injured. Helmets should always be worn but what do we know we were on the mountains and for a small town to have this rink was already pushing the boundaries. When I was a kid we did it on the lake and considering this time there was no snow that probably wouldn’t have been the best thing to do. 😳 They have the big now and want to do it again and again. Next time, Momma’s putting on the Ice skates too! It was so tempting. We are lusting over our photos from our USA Xmas back home and the holiday blues are setting in now...😭 ANYONE HAVE HOLIDAY BLUES RIGHT NOW? #iceskatingfun #iceskatingrink #iceskates #iceskating⛸ #lifecloseup
