Friday Focus 13/10/17 – Struggling through the week

13/10/201712/10/2017
Struggle - this week's word of the week

I’ve found it a bit of a struggle to get through this week. Hubby has been working crazy hours again and is now away for the next week. The girls have been quite restless during the night and I’ve seen 3am too many times as a result. I’m tired, my patience levels are low and… Read More

The loneliness of 3AM

12/10/201711/10/2017
Jessica asleep in her bed

3AM. I am sitting between my children’s beds, holding a hand each as I wait for them to go back to sleep. Listening to my husband snoring. In this moment I feel so utterly alone.   Successive nights of interrupted sleep have broken me. 3AM is when I snap, when it all becomes too much… Read More

10/10/201713/09/2019
An autumn wreath made with colourful leaves, conkers and a pine cone hanging on a door

We’ve collected quite a few pretty leaves when out and about ready for crafting. When this month’s #BostikBlogger craft box arrived with some fabric leaves in pretty autumn colours,… Read More

From the mouths of babes #140 – Please sir, can I have some more…

09/10/201709/10/2017
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 weekly linky which invites you to share a post, old or new, about something your children have said. Those adorable mispronounced words, the glimpses into their imaginations, the blunt observations – whatever it is, I’d love to hear about it!   Thank you to everyone who linked up… Read More
