So today was very exciting. Boo and I went to the Baby and Toddler show at Event City near the Trafford Centre and it was my first time as a real-life pregnant person. I didn’t feel like a fraud. Yay. We got a voucher at the door for an Emma’s Diary goody bag and then…
You wouldn’t think former mining sites would offer much in the way of beauty would you? Well, where I grew up in Ashton-in-Makerfield, near Wigan, there is a place called Three Sisters which is one of eight ‘flashes’ in the Wigan borough. The Wigan flashes were formed after the coal was extracted and it let…
I feel like doing a drum roll but I can’t work out how to write it. We had the 20 week scan today. I was still beside myself with worry. Every scan I have ever had, ever, I haven’t slept well the night before. Boo was at nursery this morning and I had the choice…
So I know I’ve blogged about Christmas before. I know it’s only September but listen. If, like me, you plan to make loads of stuff each year but, come December, you’ve made nothing then this year, why not try and be organised? I am trying my best. I will hopefully be heavily pregnant come December…
So this week I am over half way through my pregnancy. I am 20 weeks but, I will be induced at 38 weeks (at the latest) so I am over half way-yippee. The 20-week scan is this week and, despite being adamant that we wouldn’t find out the sex of the baby, I admit it,…
I’ve been told in no uncertain terms that we are not allowed any more ‘pets’ at the farm. Hubster argues that when I have the baby, it will be he who has to feed them. Just the other day though, Boo and I found a homeless family of hamsters by the farm gates. We asked…
If you follow me on twitter, you may have noticed a banner on the top of my profile picture which says #BringHometheHarvest. What does it mean? I hear you ask? Well, tomorrow, September 20th kick-starts the beginning of British Food Fortnight and naturally, living on a farm. This is something very close to my heart….
It may only be mid-September but mark my words, Christmas is coming. There are so many magical things around for children and, as Boo will be nearly four, I am hoping this year, my own little Christmas elf will understand a bit more. So recently we tried out a letter from Father Christmas from My Letter from Santa Claus….
I’ve not written about our animals for a while now. I suppose #farmbaby2015 has taken over my thoughts but believe me, the animals are still here. Considering this time last year we had three rabbits that I was unsure of the sex and no bunny babies, the 2014 breeding season has been prolific and,…
We were recently sent a copy of The Lego Movie to review. What greater excuse to curl up on the sofa with the family and relax do you need? Featuring the voices of: Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman, Will Arnett, Jonah Hill, Cobie Smulders, Will Forte, Charlie Day and Liam Neeson, it…
