I miss my Dad every day but I miss him the most in I miss my Dad every day but I miss him the most in November. 

He loved mornings like this, out walking his dog with the fog on the hills. He told me once that the day I was born the fog was so thick he could grab it and feel it fold around him. He said that is the best metaphor for being a parent. The fog is so thick to start with but as I became older it would become less and less to the point you couldn’t grasp it and had to let it go. 

As a parent now with a teen I totally get it. 

Don’t half miss you Mr Edwards 💜
That’s it. NO more pumpkins. @henanddotcafe for That’s it. NO more pumpkins.

Be afraid… seriously be afraid 😂 Be afraid… seriously be afraid 😂
Happy 7th Birthday to the best dog and cat mother Happy 7th Birthday to the best dog and cat mother in the world. I know people always think they have the best dog but seriously Penny is in the top ten. Loyal and loving and just the easiest dog ever to look after and have around. 

We all want another but she has been so good from day one that I’m terrified of what sort of luck we would get with another one 🤦‍♀️ if only humans could be a bit more like Penny (without the sniffing bums part) 🥰
Manchester has changed SO much. It has been years Manchester has changed SO much. It has been years since we went into the centre itself. What hasn’t changed is the people, atmosphere and my love for the city that will always be home. 

The best weekend celebrating @jules_spaceman 50th and our 22nd wedding anniversary. 

Is 4pm to early to go to bed? 😂
Happy Birthday @jules_spaceman found our way back Happy Birthday @jules_spaceman found our way back home for the weekend to celebrate. ❤️

10 ways natural playgrounds help benefit children’s development

March 12, 2018      admin      Leave a Comment

Playgrounds aren’t just about entertainment – they’re a key part of a child’s development. From confronting danger with climbing structures to social skills garnered by interaction in a play environment, playing outside helps children grow. Natural playgrounds and adventure playgrounds, built using wood, stone, sand and water, are a growing trend thanks to their sustainability and their suitability in a wide variety of landscapes. Put simply, they blend more seamlessly into different ...

A small window in time – let them play

February 9, 2018      admin      25 Comments

The statement in the above picture is one I often think about. It was written by Magda Gerber who was an early childhood educator in the United States and is known for teaching parents and children. When you have children you pretty much presume they will pick a book up and in time the words will click together and with support from you and teachers, reading will come naturally, like walking and talking. Sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes things happen to make it more difficult than that. In our ...

Anxiety and me

February 2, 2018      admin      17 Comments

78 days (at this current time) since the doctor told me to take time out. 78 days since I was told I have anxiety and stress. I could break it down to the hours and minutes. This winter we had snow, enough snow to build a igloo. With nothing but a ice cream tub and a few pairs of gloves we had a good go at building a igloo. I told Dylan to be really careful as we started to make the walls higher. It was curving in and I knew that if we put on any more bricks it would fall down. This is the best ...

Tuesday’s thoughts – Being a exausted working mum

November 14, 2017      admin      Leave a Comment

I have been working crazy shifts. Working though the night and working till 11pm with the odd 7am shift thrown in. It works around the children and childcare and I am lucky to be able to swap shifts when i need to but I am tired. Worn out. Shattered. Eyes drooping, squinting at the TV as if I was drunk, fighting the urge to go to bed at 8.30pm, unable to conduct a sensible conversation exhausted. I’m propped up on the sofa, intermittently nodding off, desperately trying to make conversation ...

Animal Tracking with children

October 31, 2017      admin      2 Comments

Before becoming a mum spending time walking in mud and splashing in muddy puddles was not on my list of ways to have a good time. Things have certainly changed! We spend so much time outside and living in the country we are lucky to have so much nature on the doorstep. As part of the Autumnal RSPB challenge we have been out and about looking for animals and animal tracks. The RSPB also have a downloadable sheet to try and help with all of the tracks you may see, my two loved using this ...
