On Saturday 8th October our little P came into the world at 11.23am (Birth Story to follow) and the last 6 weeks have gone by in a blur, even though it feels like he's been part of our family forever. I can't believe he is now 6 weeks old. He has become much more alert, … Continue reading #OrdinaryMoments #45 6 weeks old
This week was LB's first Parents Evening at Preschool. I've heard so many mums talk about how proud they are of their child after a parents evening and i was no different and he's only 3years old. What will it feel like when he is at big school? From Jan 2012 - march 2016 I … Continue reading Ordinary moments #44 Parents Evening
P has only been in the world for 4 weeks and as a parent of two I've already had to split myself in half. On a daily basis since P was born I've had to choose him over his big brother, especially in those times where he has needed me for feeding, changing or cuddles. … Continue reading #Ordinary Moments #43 Splitting Yourself
This week has been Half Term and with a 2 week old baby I'll be honest I wasn't exactly ready for it! When I'm working I'm usually counting down to Half Term but as P was only born at the beginning of October I hadn't quite got myself in the right frame of mind for … Continue reading #Ordinary Moments #43 Half Term

When they asked me at the hospital how i was feeling emotionally after P's birth I actually … Continue reading Ordinary Moments #42 Family of Four

I've found it very easy recently to wallow a bit in my own thoughts! Now I'll be honest they've been plentiful and pretty negative-slap wrist! We're about to extend our family which I am so excited about, I have an amazing husband and son as well as a great family around me. All I seem … Continue reading Ordinary Moments #39 Perspective
I am a little late with my ordinary moments post this week as to be honest I was struggling with what to write about. My life feels like one big blur at the minute. I'm in limbo with only a few weeks left till baby arrives and wanting to nest and switch off, not having … Continue reading Ordinary Moments 16 #38 ‘Us’
So this week saw the return of the School Term. The start of the academic year 2016/17 and so many children heading off to big school for the first time, into new classes or starting a new adventure. On Wednesday LB set off for his first day back at Preschool and his first Lunch Bunch, … Continue reading (Ordinary Moments 16) #37 Back to Routine

My Performing Arts School returns tomorrow (even though I'm only popping in and out and … Continue reading Ordinary Moments #36 The Rest of our Summer
