MUM GUILT - WORKING PARENTS

Mum guilt has crept up on me today so I thought it would be a great issue to write about.I have been back at work for almost 2 years now and at first it was much needed.

Being a stay at home mum and Scott working full time had its plus sides,but being stuck in with just the four walls to look at was becoming a nightmare and depression was slowly approaching and I was losing a piece of myself more and more each day.

GALT ABC BEADS | REVIEW

The girls have been busy this weekend reviewing the Galt ABC beads set. I use to make and sell jewellery so the children are quite the craftsmen when it comes to beads and string!.

SIMPLY WASHING TABLETS | REVIEW

I was contacted by Simply and was asked if we would like to review some of their products,which were the Simpy washing tablets.As a parent with an endless amount of washing I couldn't refuse.

If you have been a regular reader for a while then you will know that I train at the gym 4 times a week so I’m no stranger to sweating. 

Did you actually know that sweat can stain clothes?, I didn’t, so while these tablets are going to be great for getting rid of that post workout sweat, actually learning how to stop armpit sweat is really fascinating and not as impossible as it sounds :)

CARDDIES

 Carddies sent the children a set each to review. Carddies are an award winning British portable colouring set that promotes pretend play,imagination and creativity. They have a variety of sets including the ones we got sent, the school set and the family 1 set.

GLEBE FARM :)

It was Ostara on Sunday, the first day of Spring. As pagans this is one of the holidays from the wheel of the year that we celebrate. Lucky for us it was a beautiful Sunday,dry and the sun was shining,what a great day for the farm.

AMAZING MAGAZINE! AND THE GIRLS AGREE :)

We were contacted by Amazing! magazine asking if they could send the girls some copies of their magazine. I followed there link and had a browse. It is a monthly magazine that is packed with articles,facts,stories,debates,poetry,activities,puzzles and jokes. It actually reminded me of horrible histories straight away,to later find out that alongside writers from the Simpsons and Beano, the ex-editor of Horrible Histories was also apart of the team.

MOTHERS DAY

So it is Mothers Day and as everyone wishes for it to be the most 'perfect' day, breakfast in bed, I made my own, no moaning or fighting, peaceful and no housework, that didn't happen here.

All families are different,and that is OK,we all have our own ways of celebrating things and sometimes they don't go as planned.

My Mothers day started off with Alessia waking me up,snuggling for 15 minutes and then telling me she wanted bacon and eggs for breakfast.I did try and summons Kadiann for a quick cup of tea in bed but even she was having none of it so I decided to make it myself.It started snowing this morning then the sun got brighter as the morning went on which was lovely.
