It may have taken me 2 years but I have finally got my confidence back when it comes to driving. I drove halfway to Devon the other day and feel as if I could drive anywhere as long as I have Siri telling me which way to go. After the accident I never thought I would be comfortable behind the wheel again. I panicked as there was nothing I could have done to prevent it. If I had been speeding [click here to read on]
I dreaded Bob’s first hair cut! I loved her curls and was reluctant to have them chopped off. It got to the stage where the ends were tatty and I knew I had to do something about it. There is a salon near where we used to love that specialises in children’s hair cuts. My friend had told me how good it was so we went there. It was brilliant! Bob got to choose whether she would like to drive [click here to read on]
I have always known that I wasn’t very healthy. I try to eat plenty of fruit and veg, but some days the closest I get is a Haribo strawberry. Being unsettled and ‘between homes’ has made healthy eating difficult, but I make sure I force-feed my family a veg-filled stir fry once a week to try and make up for our naughtiness.

As we are between counties at the moment we have been having to live out of a case for a couple of days a week. This is not ideal but it is only for a short while.

They have several different designs and [click here to read on]

Bob is old enough now to not open drawers that you tell her to and she is steady on her feet. I still want to put a catch on the cupboard where we keep the cleaning products just in case, but in comparison to the extremes we went to [click here to read on]
After a crazy few days all of our furniture is in place and most of the boxes are unpacked! There is the small problem of where I am going to put all of my shoes but I am planning a big shrine somewhere. I just have to convince my husband. Our new house is lovely! It has many more stairs than we are used to but it will save me having to find a gym. Bob loves it! She has [click here to read on]
The only time of the day parents get to relax is in the twilight of the day, when the kids have drifted off to the land of nod. After a long day at work, or spent caring for the children, all mum and dad want to do is make a bit of time for themselves and do the hobbies they don’t usually get to do. But with the internet having endless avenues and activities available, what are the best hobbies [click here to read on]
