Seeing as she won’t let me do a reel/pictures of Seeing as she won’t let me do a reel/pictures of when she started school and now when she’s left school, here’s her signed shirt instead. 

Last day of Year 11! Can’t quite believe it. 😱😱

Seems a shame though that the school didn’t do a proper party for them, considering what a tough time it’s been over the last few years. 

They were only really allowed to hang about after their final exam for a short while, getting their shirts signed etc and a video of their embarrassing moments over the years. 

I never got my shirt signed when I left school…wish I had now. 

Did you get yours signed? And if so do you still have it?!

Health. We take it for granted sometimes. Recent Health. We take it for granted sometimes.

Recent blood tests show my iron and Vitamin D levels are low again. I’m stuck in this vicious cycle…I take meds, they go up…I feel better and stop taking them….then I’m back to feeling rubbish until they check me again and realise they are low again. I really need to just keep taking supplements.

And I really need to look after myself. Some other tests showed borderline results when I checked my results online…and waiting to speak to a doctor to find out what that means…

But the fact is it is all my fault. 

I don’t eat healthy.

I rarely exercise.

And I know I need to do both. 

We have to look after ourselves…I know sometimes it’s easier said than done…especially when you are running around after little kids and you are mentally and physically exhausted…but mums, if we don’t look after ourselves who will? 

We need to look after ourselves. Not just for the kids but for ourselves….if we are healthy we feel better within ourselves. 

I’ve said to my hubby he needs to keep Minu for an hour or so in the mornings so I can get out and do some exercise…and to be honest as she’s so demanding I desperately need time away from her. But more importantly for my health….Islam teaches us to look after our bodies and I need to start taking that seriously. 

I’ve heard rumours of a small ladies only gym opening round the corner from me…if that’s true I will definitely be making the effort to go in sha Allah. 

I need to do this.

We have had to stop going to a few groups as Minu We have had to stop going to a few groups as Minu has changed her sleep schedule yet again….but we do our best to keep going to @hartbeepspboro_stneots_hunts 

She loves it and she seems to be opening up and joining in with Anna who leads the sessions @safariadventureplay 

Such fun…bubbles, music, lights…lots of different props….

Definitely worth trying out if you haven’t already.

Ad I’m very conscious of how much screen time Ad 

I’m very conscious of how much screen time the girls are getting and it’s vital to get them out and staying active for both their physical and mental health. 

Stay Active is a range of family inclusive toys that can be played inside or outside while having active fun. It’s benefits include increased mental well being, improved movement, balance,coordination and reaction time and also improved social skills, self western, and confidence.

This month we are staying active with Sling Ball, which is basically a game of catch! Simple but fun and lightweight so you can take it everywhere you go, even on holiday. We headed to the park and Bee and her dad had a good game! 

Sling Ball is available from @smythstoys, Amazon and other toy stores and supermarkets. 

How are you managing to stay active?

Having a baby changes everything. Yesterday it wa Having a baby changes everything.

Yesterday it was my birthday and hubby unexpectedly had the last few days off due to an issue with his car…so he was here for both mine and the eldest’s birthdays.

Usually we would jump in the car and just go somewhere but with the baby we can’t anymore. He suggested we go to Leicester on my birthday for some food and chaat….but Minu was exceptionally grumpy (which I now know is because a tooth was ready to make an appearance). I wasn’t prepared to attempt a one hour journey for the first time with her in the mood she was in. Plus the eldest needed to revise for her exams. So it was a quiet one at home with some takeaway and cake. And yes I did feel a bit down about it. I miss our random, last minute, drives and meals out. 

But life with Minu has changed all that again. 

I’m not one of these couples that manages to go on ‘date nights’. Where we go the kids go too. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I keep seeing posts by influencers saying how it’s important to have ‘date nights’ for the sake of the marriage. But I’ve never had one 🤷🏽‍♀️ I don’t have anyone I can leave the kids with (my parents are too elderly for it, especially the baby) and no siblings prepared to do it. And I refuse to get a random stranger (babysitter) to look after them. 

It does make me feel rubbish sometimes as yes it would be nice to spend some time with him without the kids…but it’s just not possible for us.

And you know what, I’ve come to realise that’s ok for us. We have managed over 16 years without date nights. 

Anyone else like me and never gone on one?

It’s been a while since I’ve been to the libra It’s been a while since I’ve been to the library..and it’s a shame really. We need to use them or lose them…hours have been heavily reduced as it is. 

Today they had a jubilee event so decided to pop in. To be fair Bee wasn’t really interested in the crafts but she got some books to read and Minu explored the games they had and also pretended to be a princess in the posh chair….and we registered her for her own library card. They also had goody bags for the kids which I thought was lovely!

Going to keep an eye out for any events they do in future for the little ones and take Minu.

Do you take your children to the library?

93% of you said to give her 10 month photo a try. 93% of you said to give her 10 month photo a try. Here you go!!! 😂😂😂

Having said that I did get a couple of half decent pics.

It’s been 10 months of a whirlwind of emotions. 

Sadness, tiredness, anger, bitterness, loneliness but the overwhelming feeling is of love and joy she can bring. 

We should feel every emotion with no guilt. It’s all part of motherhood…it’s not a bed of roses! Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty if at times you aren’t enjoying motherhood. It’s bloody hard.

Hands up who loves Elmer ✋ 

We do! I’m so glad I didn’t give away the Elmer books we have as now Minu will be able to read them when she’s older. 

And did you know it’s National Elmer Day today?? The most colourful day of the year! To celebrate @rainbowdesignsltd kindly sent Minu an Elmer soft toy and comforter. She was so excited when she saw how colourful  and soft Elmer was. 🥰 The comforter is already becoming a favourite. 

They are available from Waterstones (soft toy), Amazon and @rainbowdesignsltd website!
