The Weekend
Enjoy the little things in life because someday you will look back and realise they were the big things.
What a beautiful weekend, so happy to spend it with my family doing things at home. There are many moments that will forever be embedded in my mind.
Home is something that is so very important to me, a place where as a family we can be and feel, safe, happy, sad, warm, laugh…….it’s made up with not just the bricks but our love for each other.☀️🥂💕
New favourite day
Any day spent with you is my favourite day. So today is my new favourite day. – Winnie the Pooh –
My beautiful baby boy 👦🏼 is growing into a handsome young man. I treasure each and every day that I have with you ❤️
On this adventure we were back in Wales 🏴 supporting Children in Need. It was a great adventure, meeting so many wonderful people.
The National Slate Museum is a great place to visit with the family and is free.
Time for Me
This morning I walked to the end of the garden to watch the sun rising. I took this moment for me, just a few quiet moments. This ‘me time’ sometimes is just a few minutes but can be hours just depends. That’s ok, you need you time without any explanation.
Our mental health is so very important and no matter what anyone says life just isn’t easy.
I am so very guilty of overthinking, trying to make everyone happy, thinking am I good enough? can I do better?…..the list is endless. What I would say is, we all feel these things at sometime and sometimes it’s easier to dismiss them than other times. I can also assure you that although it’s sometimes hard to chat about what we are feeling, that once we start discussing our thoughts we find often find out others are feeling a very similar way.
Simple
Sometimes it’s just the simple things.
Put your feet up grab a drink you like and cheers to the fact that you smashed Monday.
Dreams
Dreams don’t work unless you do – John C. Maxwell
I do what I do because in my mind I have dreams. Dreams of what I would like to be, do, have and achieve.
I dreamed that I would have a home for my family. As a family we worked hard to build and renovate the home we now live in.
I dream that I can make a difference to someone’s life. Every day in my day job I work to make a difference and to make things better for people.
I dream to explore the world. I explore all the time, when I am traveling for work and when I have any spare time.
None of these dreams are simple, none of these dreams are wrong, these dreams are my reality. And I have many more dreams that I will continue to try to achieve.
Look at your dreams, I am sure that you have achieved so very many and I am sure you will continue to.
Create Balance
I am a firm believer in balance in many ways in my life.
I try to make sure that everyday I spend time with my boys and husband chatting about the day we have had. I try to make sure that we get some time together as a whole family regularly and one on one time.
I try to make sure we have a varied diet and have treats occasionally. I believe that if we have some of the things we like (and maybe a bit naughty) our craving tends to go away and we enjoy it more too. I recently thought I didn’t have enough recipes that we could alternate so we don’t get bored with the food we eat. I surprised myself when I wrote down all the different meals I can make 30+, still love to try new making new things though. I think that so many times my Dad cooked the same meals (they were lovely) it’s made me conscious to have lots of variety (sometimes to much, when I cook 3 different meals to make everyone happy)!
I have learnt that a job is not everything and that you must be happy in the job you do. I believe that most people will not enjoy absolutely everything in their job, there is always the things we would rather leave as long as we possibly can. I believe if you can do a job your passionate about and it will be, challenging, rewarding, testing, make you happy, make you frustrated…..the list is goes on.
The most important thing for me is to remember that balance is not easy, balance is a skill we learn. We balance so many things in our lives and so often we forget how dam good so many of us are at doing it. Take a moment to think what you have balanced in you life today.
Some family time exploring the villages near Canterbury.

Spending time with my Mum is one of my favourite things, I wish that I could spend more time with her. This summer we spent time together on a family mini break to Arundel, this picture is from when we were walking West Wittering Beach.
I love how independent she is, I thank her for all that she has taught me. I admire how she cares for me. I love how she supports me. I am so lucky 🍀 what an amazing mum I have ❤️👩👧
