A Heatwave and a Small Vampire Where to start? It’s been a couple of weeks since I wrote and somehow we’ve already made it to another half-term. But this time there’s a heatwave. So no all-inclusive holiday for us. Well, it’s still all inclusive for the children, but that mostly involves me becoming Head Snack… Read more

A successful trip to North London (mostly) Another week has flown by and my eye is all healed thankfully. We had a good weekend visiting friends in North London, although taking our children to a well organised, tidy and sophisticated home was a bit of a gamble. Luckily our friends were very patient but there… Read more

Running on Empty So, it’s been a bit of a tough week to be honest. Things were going on as normal, ticking away, but clearly something was brewing in the background. My tiredness levels are at an all-time high. Every day I get home from work at 5pm and immediately fall asleep for an hour.… Read more

Looking Back on easter It’s the end of the Easter holidays and time to look back at what these two weeks have really been like. At the beginning, I said I wasn’t feeling as anxious and that stayed true. But one thing hasn’t changed at all, the exhaustion. Even cutting back on fixed activities and… Read more

Look at me writing two posts in two days, brings back those summer holiday memories. But today felt important to record. One of those days I know I’ll look back on, so I wanted to write it while it’s still clear in my mind. The Start of the Day Today started off horribly. Our food… Read more

So, it’s been a while, apologies for this. That second part of the spring term, although short, felt busy. I also got sick (spring flu), and I’ve been working on another project which I’ll talk about later. But for now, it’s the Easter holidays and, sadly, our holiday fund is empty, so we’re staying in… Read more

A Library for World Book Day Well, World Book Day, or rather World Book Week has officially ended. It all went pretty well. My dress with books on it was pretty and I enjoyed wearing it. A few children asked, “What character have you come as?” and I simply said, “I am a whole library,”… Read more

Poolside Battles A few tears today. It’s our last day and I’m ok with that. River has reached his holiday limit and, if I’m honest, I think we all have. We could probably do with seeing some different faces. After River point blank refusing to go anywhere near the pool all week, yesterday I put… Read more

Escaping January We escaped the cold and the rain and jetted off to the Canary Islands for half-term. The thought of finishing work only to spend a week planning activities, walking to them in the rain while Kike worked, just made me miserable. Why are we waiting for summer to go on holiday? I actually… Read more

On Getting Better (and Thinking More) I am all better after my flare, it took about a week, as usual. As if on cue, Kike and the kids both came down with fevers and flu, so maybe it was simply that time where one body goes down and the rest follow. We seem to take… Read more
