I felt like Daniel LaRusso today painting my garden gate, Craig joined in for a little while too but I suspect it's only to say he did it. I am pleased with it though, big difference made and self satisfaction from doing it ourselves and not paying someone. One more coat tomorrow and it's done...… Continue reading Wax on wax off.
Shopping day.
It's taken me longer that usual to get to grips with back to school stuff, I feel like I've been bombarded with information overload and my little brain is struggling to retain it all. Joys of having 6 babies I guess. This is my timetable so far: Sam Monday - Youth club 5-8pm Tuesday -… Continue reading Shopping day.
Chores galore.
With a family of 8 and having a very busy weekend, the beginning of the week can only mean one thing ....catch up on everything we ignored, sooooo exciting. We've also had a good long chat about our daily blogs and some days we just do nothing but housework, you don't really want to read… Continue reading Chores galore.
A Sunday day out to Duffryn Garden’s
Today was a completely unplanned day out and it was just amazing. If you didn't know anything about the events happening across the country go have a look at some local to you https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/features/open-doors-in-wales. We had a quick look this morning and discovered our most local place was having an open doors event this weekend,… Continue reading A Sunday day out to Duffryn Garden’s
Hanging on to summer.
GET UP! GET UP! GET UP!! 8:30 on a Saturday morning and I was on a mission!! I decided that today, with the weather forecast looking just beautiful, we were going to the beach....so the beach we went. We went to Southerndown beach (also known as Dunraven Bay) and had a much needed day of… Continue reading Hanging on to summer.
Happy Friday the thirteenth and first pair of shoes day!
I'm not superstitious but something wasn't right this morning....I was up before my alarm! What is that all about? Fun fact for the evening: Friday the 13th is regarded as being bad luck, we all know this, but did you know that the superstition may have arisen from Christian beliefs of the story of Jesus'… Continue reading Happy Friday the thirteenth and first pair of shoes day!
Snooze snooze snooze the alarm.
5 snoozes this morning...5!! How I got up this morning I don't know, probably the fact that I had to because us parents just do. Theo was up during the night a grand total of 8 times and one of the periods of being awake was from 4:35 - 5:30, I fell back to sleep… Continue reading Snooze snooze snooze the alarm.
Cheesecake Wednesday
One day I'll wake up with no crying, no demanding, no cupboards banging or stomping up and down the stairs....I know, I know it won't be for at least 12 years but one can dream (or not as I keep being woken up). Today was Fin and Kobe fighting that roused me gently out of… Continue reading Cheesecake Wednesday
Today has been meh.
How's your Tuesday been? I generally feel a bit meh on a Tuesday, no idea why really but I just don't tend to do much. I achieved an online food shop (go me)! I love being able to do a click and collect for the same day pick up, definitely something Tesco has that other… Continue reading Today has been meh.
We made crumble.
Up and at em! It was all going so well this morning, right up until Kobe left his reading folder in the car causing a nice meltdown and refusing to go into class. This was a great example to all the little 3yr olds on their second week of school, poor little new comers didn't… Continue reading We made crumble.
