When life gives you lemons, you can’t always make lemonade…but you can try!

Posted on March 1, 2018March 1, 2018 By Becky

Last weekend and Monday of this week sucked. On Saturday I felt tired and out of sorts for no good reason whilst alone with all 3 children for the best part of the day, as Adam was playing in a football tournament. Arlo was poorly, resulting in me umming and…

A house update!

Posted on September 22, 2016 By Becky

So….finally….we’ve exchanged! After 6 months of house stress, faffing, buyers pulling out in different parts of the chain, us finding somewhere new, last Thursday we did it!  Our completion date is the 21st October, which means we now have roughly a month to pack our entire house up in preparation…

Snippets of Easter

Posted on March 29, 2016August 13, 2021 By Becky

Hello all! Hope you had a lovely Easter weekend, although how CRAZY was the weather?! At least down here in the South East it was! Although Good Friday was beautiful, so we did manage to get out and about to a local farm for obligatory Easter lamb/chick/bunny viewing, so I…

10 Things that have made me happy this week

Posted on March 14, 2016August 29, 2023 By Becky

A lovely family lunch in Islington on Saturday to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. The children loved seeing their little cousin Astrid, my niece, and the rest of the family. We all ate far too much and of course, Freddie in particular loved the train and tube journeys there and back!…

A Monday catch up brain dump

Posted on February 22, 2016August 13, 2021 By Becky

Afternoon, afternoon! After a full week of illness where I’ve been boring people to death on social media with updates of my flu situation (exciting huh?), I’m back at work (writing this in my break), but still feeling a little foggy and bleeurgh. I honestly haven’t been this poorly, for…

Why It’s okay not to be okay

Posted on February 9, 2016August 13, 2021 By Becky

Last week I had one of ‘those’ days. Nothing too disastrous happened in the grand scheme of things, but a series of little things that made my day more than a bit ‘meh’ and had me pouring a HUGE glass of vino post- kids bedtime. I got soaked in the…

“So what do you do all day?”

Posted on January 5, 2016January 31, 2017 By Becky

Often I’m asked by friends/family/acquaintances who don’t frequent the world of blogging/social media management/digital freelance “What exactly do you do?” in reference to the fact that I manage to make a few bob working from home, and around the children (the holy grail of working parenthood to many). Well, I…

On looking after yourself

Posted on November 23, 2015August 13, 2021 By Becky

As I sit here and type this I am on approximately Day 13 of LURGY. The Cold that just won’t shift, and without sounding like TOO much of a hypochondriac, the cold that has brought with it a loads of other symptoms (bad tum, fuzzy memory and feeling absolutely shagged)….

Stuff, life, summer catch up etc!

Posted on August 26, 2015August 13, 2021 By Becky

Hello, how are you? It feels ages since I wrote a proper ‘catch up’ post. I don’t know why, but I feel a bit like I’ve lost my writing mojo, my online voice. Maybe it’s because I’ve had a few months off doing all but the bare bones of blogging,…
