Full time working momma, two sons and a stepdaughter. Starting as I mean to go on! Big family, full heart
Being a mum is hard. Being a stepmum is even harder. You don't want to step on anybody's toes, or take anybody's place but you still have to show you have the authority of a parent. My step daughter doesn't live with us, I don't know if that makes it harder or easier. Sometimes I... Continue Reading →
My boys have a five year age gap. I take my hats off to you mama's out there who have children close together in age. You are the real superheroes. I'm not going to lie and paint a pretty picture. I wanted Korey to be an only child. Not because I didnt want more children.... Continue Reading →

Once upon a time I was a single mother. And it was hard! All those night feeds, all those tumbles,... Continue Reading →
Fathers Day is right round the corner. I was spoilt on my day this year so figured I may as well spoil him with a blog about him this year. (I'm not even sure if he will read it... il just leave the tablet lying around) obviously he will also be showered with gifts and... Continue Reading →
Picture this: your partner is out for the night. The kids are in bed. Everything is peaceful, calm and serene... What do you do? Well I know what I'd do! Grab a bottle (of wine, not milk) get the munchies out that have been stashed and hidden away from the kids for this very occasion... Continue Reading →
There are so many things I will miss as the kids grow older. Whilst it is daunting to think about, that day will soon come, and whilst the days are long, the years are short. One day it will hit me, and the time would have gone, they will get jobs, get girlfriends, move out... Continue Reading →
