Exploring Mum Life

Birthday Cake
For my sons first Birthday I decided to make him a Bluey Birthday cake- over my maternity leave which lasted 13 months I didn’t want to watch or have something in the background that wouldn’t be suitable for him. He has grown to really enjoying the theme music and often dances along to it. Between […]
Christmas film on tv
With the end of blogmas the only thing to say is thanks for the support and it has been a blast! Doing blogmas has pushed me to do something related to Christmas each day which has been such a nice experience. Today I headed over to my mother’s with Theo and my friend and got […]
Christmas tree
Today we stayed in and did the last-minute bits of getting ready, I love to dress up for Christmas so I’ve had my hair coloured and I’ve found some false nails to put on. I don’t bother getting my nails done as I want to rip them off after two days as I like having […]
Church
This afternoon I went over to my mother’s house to have some family time before the chaos of Christmas, we decided to go to the Carol service at the local church. Keeping a baby entertained at a Carol Service I took the pram as I wasn’t sure if he would settle or want to sit […]

Today was a bit manic, this morning I took Theo to soft play after his morning nap and then we went to do the Christmas food shopping. Mistakes I made It’s always unwise to drive into the city centre a few days before Christmas but It was chucking it down and I didn’t fancy walking […]
Astonish spray
Christmas cleaning-The only way to explain it is that it is similar to when you want to come back from holiday to a clean home. We don’t know why we do it but always a few days before Christmas I clean out the oven and get twitchy to turn the house on it’s head cleaning. […]
I went to bed on Friday feeling anxious and nauseous and unfortunately woke up at 5am to be really ill with a bug. After feeling horrendous and not really being able to move Saturday I’m finally feeling more human. As a mum being completely wiped out isn’t an option as you have to power through, […]
As someone who isn’t religious, I rarely go to church; however, during December I do attend Carol services and I used to go either Christmas Day or Midnight Mass. Since moving to Norwich I haven’t explored my local church, which I decided to do today with the Angels Everywhere event. I have always attended the […]
