WiW - Week 3
I know, I'm late again writing my weekly weigh in post. Due to last week being half term and I still wasn't feeling 100%, I just didn't seem to have the energy to do much. I'm continuing with listening to my Slimpod every night and I am starting to see...

To my Angel, Luka
To my precious Angel, It has been 2 years today since you left us and I remember it like it was yesterday. We had lost Keoni exactly 5 months 1 day earlier and I couldn't believe this was happening again! You weren't meant to be taken from us. I didn't...

Thoughtful Thursday - 23rd May 2013
I'm still new to this Thoughtful Thursday positive thinking. It's hard to change your mindset when you have been brought up negatively and spent many years surround with negative people. I don't want my children to grow up being negative, so I'm hoping...

Farewell...Adios Amigos
I'm off to hospital tomorrow morning to have my rather large tonsils removed! I'm glad it's being done but bricking it too. I've had throat problems for as long as I can remember. As a child I constantly got tonsillitis and always at the doctor surgery....

Miss K turned 5!
Yesterday was K's birthday. She was 5! It only seems like yesterday that we had set off to the hospital to have our little girl. That we were walked into theatre and they delivered a tiny 5lb 12oz little girl with lots of blonde fluffy hair. [caption...

12 weeks ago we welcomed our new baby boy in to our family. 12 weeks! 84 days! 2,016 hours!! How on earth did we get here so fast?? It really does only feel like yesterday that I woke up with contractions and didn't realise that I was in labour, let alone...

Wednesday Words
I've been following Crazy with Twins Wednesday Words for a while and thought I'd join in. The idea is to blog a quote, lyric or poem that inspires you to get you through the week. I've spoken before about how I'm a "manic depressive" and I've been really...

6 months on
I can't believe it's been 6 months. Six whole months since my beautiful baby boy made his surprise early arrival and in a totally unexpected way. 6 months he has been with us, yet it feels like he has always been here. He slotted in so nicely to our family...

6 years ago today...
...Our son was due. It was one of the hottest August's I remember. I was the size of a small country having piled on 4 stone in weight in just 9months. I had a walk John Wayne would be envious of and I had what felt like a small elephant curled up inside...

It wasn't me....
These are words that I hear too often in my house. You see, my oldest 2 are menaces. Think Dennis the Menace x 10 and that is my son. J. My daughter K is fairly placid in comparison, but she can be just as naughty when egged on by her brother. I cannot...

Going Back...
