Hello 32 🎂


Yesterday was my 32nd birthday and it was such a lovely day. I wanted to share my day as a little reminder for me as well as showing a normal birthday as a Mum of 2.

It started off as an early start with it being the first day back to school, so 7am the girls came in and woke me instead of my alarm. We had a cuddle and a chill before waking Liam up for coffee and pressies. 

The girls brought my presents over and helped ne open them, I got some lovely gifts and felt very lucky and spoilt. It was then time to get the girls some breakfast and enjoy some time before the school run madness. 

After dropping Lils off we headed back home for a bit as it was Olivia's day off nursery so we played for a bit and I sorted my hair and makeup. Liam then decided we needed to go to B&Q for some bits, we then popped into Sainsburys for BBQ bits.

3pm hit and it was time to get Lils from her first day of year 6! Apparently she had a brilliant day which is good. We then headed straight over to Liams Mums for the BBQ as we sadly don't have a garden. 

Once there is was time for a gin and lemonade and the girls playing with water guns as we are currently experiencing a heatwave. The BBQ was lit and the girls then decorated my birthday cake for me.

We only ended up having some burgers as Liam makes mean sized burgers that are so filling but tasty. Once we had devourered those Liam brought my birthday cake out, sadly the candles kept blowing out bur it really made us laugh. 

Soon it was time to come home and get the girls ready for bed for school and nursery the next day. Once they were both settled Liam poured me another gin and lemonade and we watched 'The Founder'. We did have drama with a wasp that wanted to drink my gin and came back in twice but all in all it was a brilliant day.

Macaroni Cheese | Recipe and Method

I do love a pasta dish and macaroni cheese is such a comfort food for me, its so easy and simple to make, perfect for a busy evening taking only 15-20 minutes to make.

My mental health

 I don't really know why I am writing this but it may help me or someone else in the future, today I am low, very low, I feel very stuck in a rubbish situation and don't see it ever getting better. At the moment money is tight, very tight and it really is getting me down, I feel like I am letting everyone down. I want to be the best person I can be and the best Mum possible to my girls, I want to be able to provide a good life for them and don't want them to even know that we are ever struggling. I suffer from anxiety but this doesn't feel anything like that, this feels like a have got a weight in my heart, one that feels painful too, its like a constant sinking feeling that drains me too. I am tired and emotional and just had enough and I really don't know what to do or how to even take the next step. I really hope that one day soon we don't have to worry so much, that we can live a little more comfortable and that life gives us some luck as the pas

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata  1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the passa
