It’s the summer holidays here and as I work in a school; I get almost 6 weeks off. Us schoolies often get a bad rep for having so much holiday time. We actually don’t get paid for it. I’m pretty sure that people can have unpaid leave in most jobs. Schoolies don’t get a choice.… Continue reading Priorities
I’ve been to two wedding receptions in a week. I’ve had a lovely time. I put aside all the thoughts I have about really quite fancying getting married again one day and I see it for what it is; a free party! The first wedding reception I attended this week was a wedding of strangers.… Continue reading Butterfly 🦋
I love driving. I’ve got a car that is fun to drive and when the traffic is kind to me (and I don’t have the kids in the car) I can let him loose! Today I found an old cd in my glove box that had lots of classics from the late 90’s/ early 00’s.… Continue reading Route A46
As I get ready for bed tonight, I catch a glimpse of myself in my full length mirror on my ikea wardrobe. I turn away. I try not to ponder on what I just saw. I try not to get on the scales. I try to eat more salad. I try not to wear the… Continue reading Me, myself and my body dysmorphia
It was about September last year that I found out my ex husband was marrying the woman he left me for. My 7 year old dropped it into conversation when driving home from school as she thought I should know my eldest had cried about it. Turns out my seven year old is more emotionally… Continue reading Wedded bliss 🤞🏻
The gym is not my natural habitat. I’ve never been a very physically fit person. I’ve never really shown any physical or sporting prowess. As a result I’m ridiculously unhealthy and suffer from a bad case of cellulite on my arse and thighs. As a relatively small girl, I hate this about myself. I had… Continue reading Hot Tub
Yesterday I took the kids to see Hotel Transylvania 3 at the cinema. I’ve not seen the first 2 films so didn’t know what to expect but my son reassured me I’d catch up with the plot 😂🤦🏼♀️. I enjoyed the film and like all films I watch I can usually relate it to my… Continue reading “Zing”
It’s holiday season, there’s been a heatwave, I’m about to board a plane to Greece for a week. I’ve got to get my body out. I’m dreading it. It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of my body. I don’t know many women who are. I was chatting to one of my friends… Continue reading Beach Bodies
This is probably my favourite emoji. One I use a lot and I guess it sums up how things have been recently. It’s almost midnight and I’m still awake. Sleep either eludes me or comes too easily these days. So here I am, writing the first post I’ve done in months. I’ve been quiet on… Continue reading 🤷🏼♀️
Took my children swimming today. This isn’t unusual, it’s one of our favourite things to do together. My kids are confident in the pool, more so than me and therefore like to swim and do tricks underwater. I’m trying to tone up a bit so despite having to supervise them, I try to keep my… Continue reading Wobbly bits
