#LittleLoves – Light House Awards, The London Marathon & The Bad Mothers Diary

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting my blog and for reading my #LittleLoves posts over the past few years. I have really enjoyed taking part in the weekly #LittleLoves linky. However, like all good things – this has come to an end. Whilst this post will therefore be my final instalment of #LittleLoves I do however have future plans for a series/ linky of a similar nature so keep your eyes peeled.

Without further do I will share my #LittleLoves from the past week gone by for one final time, and then bid this linky a rather reluctant goodbye.…

#LittleLoves – Summer Swagger, Beach Rides & Jumping Around

I feel as if I’m forever typing “I intended to write this sooner only…” and here I am yet again saying exactly that and for good reason as I’ve literally this moment, arrived back from hospital with my daughter. It’s been a lonnnnnng evening but we’ve finally got a diagnosis and it seems my darling daughter will be spending yet more time off school this week as she recovers from what is apparently ‘impetigo’.

How on earth she has caught such a thing I have no idea, I guess it’s just one of those things that spread rapidly and with being at school this week she’s most likely to have picked it up there.…

#LittleLoves – Donning Denim, Red Hot Chilli Peppers & Mixing Moments

We have almost come to the end of the holidays which the kids and I have really enjoyed. It’s get to a point though when you’re ready to get back into a routine and get back to it. I’ve already put together a few plans for the week ahead, this includes both work and relaxation as I am in much need of a girly get together with my bestie Dee, as neither she nor I have had the time to sit and have a brew and the banter.

Parenting is a funny old game as holidays are in no way, shape or form any kind of break should you happen to be a Mother or a Father for that matter. …

#LittleLoves – Boxsets and Basset Bedlam

We are now half way through the holidays, the kids sure seem to be enjoying their time off as are Paul and I for that matter. We don’t do things by halves in this household though and rather than relaxing , we’ve given ourselves a heap of hard work by adding a further four paws to our family.

I have to admit that having a puppy is much like having a newborn only without the lady related issues. We’ve found ourselves having to stick to a strict routine as toilet training, feeding schedules and keeping our two fur babies content have become priority.…

#LittleLoves – Easter Chicks, Rock Chicks & Sleepy Chicks

The holidays have finally arrived and Easter is almost upon us. As you can imagine it’s been a busy week and will no doubt be a busy weekend with all the egg-hunts and activities which we have planned. Before that though, I will take a moment to sit and reflect by listing a few of my #LittleLoves from the past seven days.

Other than the back of my eye lids I’ve done very little reading in all honesty. I keep meaning to find myself a book and get myself back into being a book-worm but I’ve still not found the time nor the patience to do so.…
