Her freezing hands have come in useful for making these at school!

Looks like the baking gene has been past down to another generation, Agnes Ginger and Lesley Oakley.

Well done, Scarls! 👩‍🍳🤌🏻

The Transition didn't seem to work...oh well...work with what you’ve got...some would agree! 😂😂

Happy Halloween! 👻🎃

I just want a simple, happy life for me and Scarlett.

To enjoy the little things, go on adventures, visit new places, make lots of lovely memories along the way and find happiness in the every possible moment.

Nothing extravagant, nothing complicated.

That's all I really want for us, but some days even the basics seems like I want too much. 💚🌻

Lovely little walk out in Dalby today! 🍂🐾

Well… lovely apart from the drama! 😂

Scarlett fell over, let go of Orla's lead in the process, Orla then tried to leg it, only to scare herself silly because her lead was dragging behind her!

Meanwhile, Scarlett was still flat on the floor, and I was left trying to decide whether to rescue the child or catch the dog! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

One of those moments when there's only one of you and you can't be in two places at once!

Thankfully, dog retrieved, child rescued and gravel picked out of Scarlett's hand!

Other than that… lovely walk! 🤣🍂

**Pictures all pre drama and oh a hairy caterpillar! 🤷🏼‍♀️

World Mental Health Day, October 10, 2026

Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change 💚

I've learnt a lot about my own mental health over the last couple of years, through an experience I wish I'd never had to face.

I've learnt that you can get up, get dressed, smile, laugh, get on with everything that needs doing and still be struggling underneath it all.

That sometimes the smallest decisions feel enormous, that exhaustion isn't always fixed by sleep, and that even when you think you're coping, your mind and body can tell you otherwise.

I've also learnt that you can have a really lovely day and still feel sad. That you can be grateful for your life while finding parts of it incredibly hard.

And that looking after your mental health isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's recognising when you need to do less.

I'm still learning to listen to myself, to recognise the signs and to accept that some days are simply harder than others.

So today isn't about telling anyone to stay positive or look on the bright side.

It's just a reminder that we never really know what someone else is carrying, even when they look like they're doing okay.

Be kind. To others, but also to yourself. 💚🌻

Definitely a nip in the air this morning! 🍂🥶

It has been the first morning I thought, “Brrr, that's chilly!”

But it was dry, so the perfect excuse to get out for some fresh air after the lovely lurgy has left me feeling less than 100%.

And my goodness, feeling the sun on my face and seeing it shining off the sea was lovely! 😍

If you know me, you'll know I hate walking somewhere and then coming back the same way. I much prefer a loop walk!

Only problem with walking around the headland is that once you start, you've gotta go alllll the way round! 😂

And seriously, why is Scarborough sooooo hilly?! I went down, I went up, I went down again, and then back up AGAIN!

I'd also forgotten that Orla's walking limit is about 4.5km, so the last 1.5km involved a fair bit of encouragement to keep her moving! 🐾😂

But do you know what? Today was the first day in a while that I actually felt like I had my walking legs back. Like they WANTED to move, rather than every step feeling like an absolute effort.

And that felt really good.

Fresh air, crsipy leaves, sunshine, the sea and a good walk. Just what I needed. 💚

P.s. also love my cosy jumper from TK Maxx perfect for days like today!

Some might call it cheating...

But I call it winning!
..Because we have huge Cadbury UK cupcakes, topped with wispa to eat tonight! 😋

Little Reminders For The Weekend!

What I felt like I did last weekend…

Nothing. 🤷🏼‍♀️

What I actually did… well, apparently quite a lot! 😂

It’s funny how easy it is to get to the end of a day or a weekend and think, “What have I actually done?” because there’s nothing big or exciting to show for it.

But then you actually stop and take stock.

Some of it was productive. Some practical. Some completely mundane. And some of it was the kind of parenting that nobody sees or ticks off a to-do list.

Yet it all counts.

I think sometimes we’re so busy looking at what we haven’t done, we completely overlook everything we HAVE.

So this is my little reminder to myself, and maybe to someone else who needs it, give yourself some bloody credit.

You’re probably doing far more than you think you are. 💚

Gratefulness. 💚

It doesn't have to be about the big things. In fact, I think the more you notice how grateful you are for the simple things, the easier it becomes to find a more positive outlook...stick with me!

Here's today's example...

While out on our walk, Orla decided she needed the toilet. I can definitely say I was NOT grateful for that. 💩😂

But I was grateful that I have a dog who keeps me company and loves unconditionally.

I was grateful for the very conveniently placed bin, so I didn't have to carry said poo for the rest of the walk. 🙌🏻

And I was grateful that I could get outside, walk, breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Nothing life-changing. Just little things I could choose to notice and be grateful for in that moment.

I'm learning that when I can be present and focus on what's right in front of me — rather than what happened yesterday or worrying about what might happen tomorrow — life feels a little lighter.

You don't have to be grateful for everything.

But there is usually something to be grateful for, even if sometimes it's just a well-placed poo bin. 😂💚

Shopping = Flowers as a treat to myself.

Red Roses, wanted some skeleton arms to put in them, but they didn't have any. So crystal skull bottle for effect (not left it in as its too heavy and will crush the roses).
