Happy Half Term Mums and Dads! The time that all teachers can't wait for, and a time that many parents secretly dread. My children are both pre school age, but even now, I struggle to keep Erin occupied and entertained when I have both children, especially in Winter...
Last night, my other half made fundamentally, one of the biggest mistakes of his life. You think he would have learned from the first time, from 3 years of being a father to our eldest child, but no, clearly he lost himself for a moment, he let himself slip, and he...

Valentine's Craft - Potato Print Heart T-Shirt As you will know from my previous posts re Valentine's Day, neither I nor my partner are particularly the romantic type. There will be no cards here, no roses and definitely no swooping declarations of love this February....
The Part Time Challenge One of my biggest employment challenges to date has been securing part time work after maternity leave. Unfortunately, I was not alone – many of my friends have even been forced to down-skill and take on a lower paid part time role in order to...
