Today has been a good day. Finally starting to see signs of daddy's back getting better. He's actually done a tip run by himself (meaning I didn't drive him) but with help from Sammy and Fin, I wouldn't let him lift anything and the boys were more than capable since it was only a few… Continue reading Sunny Sunday.
Shopping with the teen.
We went shopping into Cardiff city centre today. When I say we I mean myself, teen and Theo. Do you ever feel like you don't spend enough one on one time with your babies? This is exactly how I've felt for a while now. Since daddy has had his bad back it's been a bit… Continue reading Shopping with the teen.
End of the first week of school.
We've had opposite ends of the scale this morning with waking up, one completely struggling to get up and one up before 5:30, give...me...strength. This may bore whoever reads this but my excitement today has been filling in paperwork....yawn!! I know, I can't believe how me and the hubby spend our precious time. School o'clock.… Continue reading End of the first week of school.
The week is flying by.
I had to wake the comprehensive goers this morning, it was quite entertaining watching the teen dive out of bed and flounce around like Kevin and Perry, it was also quite funny how everyone kept well out of the way. Sammy was fine and just got on with getting ready, we only live a 1… Continue reading The week is flying by.
And they’re all back to school.
We did it!!! We made it through to the other side of 6 weeks off...bravo to us!! Cue obligatory back to school photo's. Even Theo knew something was happening today and posed for a photo. Once I returned to the house, skipping through the door, I whistled my way through making some breakfast to sit… Continue reading And they’re all back to school.
Back to school eve part 2.
We won't tell the children but I definitely woke up feeling nervous for teens first day back at comprehensive and Sammy's first day beginning his comp journey. Such a huge amount of emotions surround this day. I still feel sad that they're going back to school but generally we're all ready. We haven't had the… Continue reading Back to school eve part 2.
Back to school eve.
We planned on having a lazy day today and I'd say the children achieved this. Me on the other hand, I've managed to do 6000 steps just doing housework....how?! He's into everything, doesn't want to play with HIS toys, want's to be involved and generally goes around after me undoing my hard work, he's 10… Continue reading Back to school eve.
Bye bye August. Hiya September.
Today has been fairly productive. It's crazy to think that 6 weeks have gone by and we're now into September. Everyone is saying the same and we always will but we've definitely felt like this has been the quickest summer holidays. Sadly it's not been the most fun but we've tried our best with what… Continue reading Bye bye August. Hiya September.
Finishing the school shop.
Really starting to feel as though the summer holidays are coming to the end. Part of us feels very happy about this and part of us feels sad, mixed emotions indeed. We went on the last shopping spree today and I'm not sure how I made it out the other side. Shopping was going smoothly… Continue reading Finishing the school shop.
Porthor ‘Whistling sands’
We've been looking at our Welsh travels today and unsurprisingly we've visited a lot of Welsh beaches having travelled along the coast as far up as Caernarfon Castle. Newgale beach is always going to be our favourite, there's just a connection which seems unbreakable, like a magnet that draws us back year after year. 16… Continue reading Porthor ‘Whistling sands’
