Making Time

Making sure that I spend time with my family doing the things they love 💕

Each of my children have grown into their own people and I love spending my time with them individually as well as together. I love to learn more about what they enjoy doing and trying to do it with them – not always as good as them or as quick!

I know that everyday they move forward in their lives and one day I will be in the background watching them. Don’t get me wrong I will still be in their lives but they will move on, they will do many things without me – that’s what happens as we move towards adult hood.

But I want them to know I will be there no matter what and I will try everything I possibly can for them always and forever.

Cycling Clowes Wood

Since I was young I was always taken to Clowes Wood, we would take our family dogs down whilst our parents would walk we would often be allowed take our bikes.

Fast forward a few years and I now often bring my children here.

It’s a beautiful woods at all times of the year, with good clear paths.

This weekend just gone we took our bikes for my first proper bike ride since I had an accident whilst I was on a charity bike ride earlier this year. I was nervous I’m not going to lie, it’s been 12 weeks and I still have pain and have to sleep in an unusual position at night. So going through these familiar woodlands was a good place to start back at something I love so much.

The woods have the ‘crab and winkle way’ running through them. This means if you park at the woods you can choose to either ride into Canterbury or into Whitstable. We personally prefer going to Whitstable it’s a really wonderful seaside town.

Things to do this week

Here is a few things that I will be doing this week:

* Making a little time for myself every day – walking, yoga, read my book…….the possibilities are endless but time will be limited so I will use it wisely.

* Trying not to let the boys Xbox turn them into zombies – trying to get that healthy balance this summer holidays will be a fun game in itself!

* Not letting nonsense things annoy me – the boys bedrooms can be as messy as they wish all week as it’s the holidays!

* Getting the children to cook one family meal – this could be interesting.

* Planning our weekend adventures – mediation may be required as the family will all have their opinion.

What things do you want to do this week? Set yourself a few small things that aren’t your everyday chores and share them with me and let’s see how we get on.

Why am I blogging?

So I took the plunge and I am going to give this blogging world a proper trail. Why am I here?

After my life changed in an instant last year my mind was altered and I decided that I would do what made me happy for ever more. It’s not that simple though, money doesn’t just hit my bank account for me to spend as I wish I need to work. But there it is I need to do something but how I choose to do it is up to me. In my blog I plan to tell whoever wishes to read, my thoughts, my reasoning, my chaotic life and I invite you to remember that sometimes we need to sit alone for a minute and reflect what do I want from my life and how could I go about getting that – for ultimately we are responsible for our fate and if we do but try we should be proud. Look back at what we have achieved no matter how small as each win will bring you to the place that you wish.

My main passion is my family, to travel, to explore and find the different and not be normal but just be me. Link in the bio. #blogger #findyourepic #summerholidays2018 #adventures #nature #maps #familyexploringideas #beproudofyourself
