I always have filthy dirty nails, no matter how hard I try to keep them clean, but at least I don’t bite them anymore. I lose my cool with the kids often, but I always apologise. I have wrinkles and pimples, it seems so unfair, but I’m taking it as a sign of youthfulness mixed […]
Real Life Wednesday – Reasons My House Will Never be in Home Beautiful Magazine
I used to read Home Beautiful magazine and hope that one day I would have a house like the ones on those glossy pages. It’s only quite recently that I’ve wised up and realised that a house that is livable and lived in is what I really want, not a perfectly beautiful home. But that […]
Failure – Real Life Wednesday

It is also covered in a range of magnets. There are letters, a few magnetic poetry words, some animals, vehicles […]
Confessions
I have some confessions to make… My floor has looked like this for days and I just keep stepping over or around it. Yesterday I put my toddler in front of the TV to stop his continuous whining, and left him there for 2 hours. On Monday I bought a packet of lolly snakes (a […]
