Spring Gift Swap

This fabulous swap was hosted by Joy from Welcome to Daisy Row. I love doing swaps as I love to buy for others and usually forget I am getting something in return! I have been unusually late with this one and I am so sorry to Liz who was my partner. I have also been slow to post about our goodies too so without further ado...

#SATCAP and not an egg in sight...

The Importance of Being Vulnerable

After I wrote my post this morning about feeling lost and frustrated, I read this post from Kat at I Saw You Dancing. Loving a bit of soul searching AND Oprah I clicked the link to watch her interview with Brene Brown. I was not disappointed!

Lost and Frustrated

This is not going to be a moany post (I hope!). I am really struggling at the moment with this transitional phase we are all going through. I know it is a matter of time before it all settles down and things will run smoothly again but what to do in the meantime?

Two Faced


Two-Faced - marked by deliberate deceptiveness especially by pretending one set of feelings and acting under the influence of another. That is the description in the dictionary. If you're told someone is two faced, what would that mean to you? 

An Amazing Day!



 

 I am linking this post up to Jaimes' Magic Moments Linky as this really was Magic for me.

Saturday is Caption Day!!


It's Saturday again folks, so get your captions at the ready for more photo fun and frolicks! 

Nursery - Eeeeek!

A big thing happened today. We went to look at a nursery for Chaos. I had one in mind as it is in a practical location. I have been there with my friends children and the staff have always been friendly and informative. My friends daughter will be in the same group as Chaos so he will have someone he knows there too. With these things in mind I arranged for us to go and have a look round this afternoon.

A Student - Again!!

Yes, that's right. A student! I have signed up for some "work based learning". It is a modern apprenticeship doncha know?! I have to be honest, I love learning. I could be a perpetual student as I can't get enough of it. I feel like my brain turns to mush if I don't feed it some regular, challenging stimulation. 12 piece jigsaws don't quite cut the mustard!!

Blah, Blah, Blah!

Ugh, I'm trying to put into words how I feel right now and that is pretty much it. UGH (on an out breath). Don't ask me why, I have no idea. Some amazing things have happened today which have made me jump about like a loon. Now though, it's all pants.

My First Day At Work As A...

As you know, I have recently started a new job in a farm shop. At the moment I am working in different areas. I am mainly on the shop till but I also cover the Deli counter and help in the cafe if it gets busy. I love that I get such variety throughout every day. There is just one area left for me to start learning about and I had my first lesson today.

Heartbroken

This morning I'm in pieces. Squish had a bad night and was up until 3am. That in itself is shattering but on top of that I was hit by a heartbreaking reality.

An Alternative Mother's Day Post...

Over at Story of Mum this month, Pippa is asking if we have any embarrassing Mum stories that we would like to share. For me, this raises the question of which and how many stories to share! I love my Mum to bits but she wouldn't win any awards for tact or diplomacy, EVER!!

Kids T-Shirts

Way back before the huge Snowdon adventure, I had seen a message on Twitter about reviewing some childrens tshirts. To be honest, I had been thinking of replacing a few of ours as they were becoming quite tatty. The boys clothes really get put through their paces and need changing at least once a day. I have no doubt that any t-shirt we review will be rigorously tested!

Snowdon. We came, We saw, We totally kicked it's Ass!!

WE DID IT!!! That is the first thing I think of when I hear the word Snowdon. I have such a huge sense of achievement, it is amazing. This is the first physical challenge I have signed up for and then doubted my ability to complete it. Luckily by the time I actually set off for Wales all my doubts had been replaced with excitement and anticipation. Here I am three days later and my calf muscles still scream at the mere suggestion of a hill or step but I don't mind. To me it is just a small reminder of our mind blowing trip.


My First Vlog!!

Here it is! I am quite chuffed with my first attempt at a video diary. I realise there are a few rough edges and some of the editing leaves a bit to be desired but all in good time. I was a weekend of firsts and I am really glad to have this as a reminder of an awesome weekend with equally awesome people! Hope you enjoy it!

My Working Week

I have been employed for a whole week. I am working in a lovely farm shop and cafe part time. I am being trained to work in the shop, cafe and on the deli counter. After 3 years of being a SAHM it is more than a little shock to the system!
