Friday Focus 02/11/18 – Feeling overwhelmed

02/11/201801/11/2018
Overwhelmed - this week's word of the week

I’ve been trying to juggle far too many balls this week and it’s left me feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Hubby’s been away for the last couple of weeks so I’ve been flying solo. I’m fairly used to having to manage on my own but the combination of half-term, Sophie’s birthday and having to organise Thomas’s… Read More

From the mouths of babes: November 2018

01/11/201830/10/2018
Jessica as a toddler with a speech bubble saying "From the mouths of babes" and the text "A linky for sharing the things kids say"

From the mouths of babes is a linky all about sharing the things that children say. Whether it’s those adorable mispronounced words, glimpses into their imaginations or just the blunt observations that children make, I’d love to hear about them.   The linky runs monthly, opening on the 1st day of the month and staying… Read More

Me, hubby, Sophie and Thomas with a photo of Jessica in the marquee at the Little Hearts Matter memorial event

October is one of hubby’s busiest months for events and family moments can be few and far between. I am used to flying solo although it can feel very lonely at times. I’ve learned though to make the most of the family moments when I can get them in the busy times. It also means… Read More

Review – Scootaseatz and Scootaheadz

30/10/201829/10/2018
Sophie's toy sitting in the Scootaseatz below the Scootaheadz

Sophie loves riding her scooter to and from school or the park. She often likes to take a toy with her when out and about but unless it’s one that can hang on the handlebars, I end up having to carry it. I was recently invited to review some fun scooter accessories – the Scootaseatz… Read More

Howl’o’ween fun at Chessington World of Adventures

29/10/201829/10/2018
Sophie posing in front of the Howl'o'ween sign at Chessington

October half-term seems to be all about Halloween-themed activities and days out. The girls loved trying out the “Howl’o’ween” attractions at Chessington World of Adventures last year. This year, it was Sophie who donned her sister’s “rainbow witch” outfit for a day out at Chessington. I was glad she picked that costume. It felt like… Read More

#365daysofgratitude – Week 43

28/10/201828/10/2018
A double rainbow over houses - "#365daysofgratitude"

For the last two years, I have taken part in a daily gratitude challenge – sharing one photo a day on Instagram of something I am grateful for. It’s taught me to look for the little things and has made me a more positive person. It has not always been easy to find something to… Read More

Jessica standing in front of a tree looking out over a big branch - "Country Kids"

Welcome to Country Kids. Country Kids was one of the first linkies I joined in when I started my blog four years ago. It helped inspire me to enjoy so many outdoor adventures with my girls and create happy memories. It is an honour to be taking over hosting Country Kids from Fiona at Coombe… Read More
