May recap | 2024


May has been a wild one and one that has had a lot of smiles and memories made. The highlight of this month was that Liam has got himself a job which he is loving. It seems so odd to have him out the house but we are all so happy for him.

The start of May me and Lils went to Eastbourne to see Everybody's talking about Jamie which was incredible, we also managed to get to stage door and meet some of the cast too, something I have never done before. Lils also competed for there school that week and smashed the 75m sprint coming in 2nd. A few days later we got to experience seeing the Northern lights, well kind of, We were able to see them through a photo we we took them but sadly not with our eyes. 

Lils has also taken part in her SAT's exams and she did so well, there was so much pressure on them for these, more from themselves than anyone else but she honestly did us so proud getting through them with a smile on her face. The sun has shown its face a few times this month so we have been enjoying days out at the park and ice creams a lot, its been amazing and the fresh air has done us the world of good.

Last week me and Liam celebrated our 16th anniversary, half of my life I have spent with Liam which is crazy, we have been through so much and have come out the other side with 2 amazing girls and a cheeky cat and one day we will have a home to be proud of too, I'm sure of it. 

Sadly May has ended with rain again but we have had a lovely half term with swimming, a park and ice cream day on the 1 day and games at home too. June is going to be a busy one but I am as ready as I ever be to tackle it.

I hope your May was as good as ours and June is even better.

Autumn Tag

Hello, I thought that today I would take part in the Autumn tag so you can all get to know me a little better, I took part in this on my old blog many years back and a lot has changed since. Autumn has to be my favourite season with so much change and the excitement for Christmas not far ahead. 1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you? I know Autumn starts at the end of September but for me its the first of November when it starts to officially feel like Autumn, it all of the sudden feels different and colder after Halloween and especially when the clocks go back too. 2. What is your favourite Autumn scent? My favourite autumn scents are either Orange or berries, they always make the house smell so warm and toasty in wax melt form and I love them in a hand cream or even a bubble bath scent too around this time of year.. 3. What is your favourite Autumn colour? My favourite Autumn colour has to be the burnt orange for the leaves but burgundy colour for clothing, the are just very w...

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 pass...
