Amelie had her very first sports day!

I was so proud and she did so well. I cheered for her and her friends. And although there wasn't any medals or winners all the kids had a fantastic time. Some with a few "excitable" parent's! 

I try my best to be honest in all my blogging. But sometimes it's hard to let too much of your guard down.

Every family has to deal with difficult situations or rough periods in their lives. 

At the moment we have a few stressful things going on. 

But although they drive me slightly crazy my kids help me to smile.

Not only them but good friends do too.

Arthur was hilarious making sand angels, must be practising for all that snow!

I have tried so many time trying to make Arthur walk with one hand and here is Carla strolling around with a one handed walk! I'm so proud of him and glad that he trusted his Auntie Carla to do it with. 

She is so good with my children, I'm sure she's my guardian angel. I won't hear from her for ages and then if I need her she's just there. To babysit or for maybe labours! Or just a day out in the park with my miserable face. You and your gorgeous girls really picked me up, so thanks. 

I should say a special thanks to Millie for her pure craziness. 

She may not thank me for releasing details , but she's VERY funny!

Some times you just need to be by yourself. Me time is not something I really enjoyed before having children. You're so quickly forgotten when you have children. Nobody asks your name anymore, they ask for your child's. They don't ask how you are they ask about your child. New people you meet are through your children so your just Amelie's mum. 

We love our children and would do anything for them. BUT it's important to remember who YOU are. What YOU want. 

Often there isn't time to be by yourself at home. So I walked Poppy and Rocky on this gorgeous summer night. It's not dark, there is lots of other dog walkers. 

Even living on Europe's biggest housing development I can still find my little bit of nature.

Peaceful. Green. Fresh. Just me (and the dogs)
