‘I keep dancing on my own’
This weekend My little Superhero Elijah ended up being admitted to hospital. On Thursday evening he was a bit out of sorts and by Saturday lunchtime he had a burning temperature so Ben, on the doctors advice, took him to A&E just to be on the safe side. Due to Elijah showing discomfort in his […]
Enjoy more water.
When Robinson set a challenge to ‘enjoy more water’ I initially though wow this will be easy enough my kids drink plenty. But like so many others I didn’t know exactly how much would should be drinking and as it turns out we maybe weren’t drinking as much as we should have been. My […]
Me before You.
*contains spoilers* www.facebook.com/lonelycaterpillar/ I am a self proclaimed book worm . Its one of the qualities I am most proud to have passed down to my children. I love to read and get completely absorbed in a book, to walk into a make believe world and becaome part of the characters lives, to feel I […]
One day more.. the blessing of turning 30.
Today is the day, the one I’ve been dreading, the day I turn 30. I know In reality I’m just one day older than I was yesterday, but 30 is that age I’ve kinda been dreading. You know the first big age you remember a parent celebrating? This is it for me, I remember my mum […]
Motability & me.
On Friday I had another new experience. Ben and I attended the One big event, Motability show in Lisburn. This is an event where lots of car retailers display a range of cars they offer on Motability ( a scheme which helps disabled people have access to cars that can be adapted and more affordable way […]
Bank Holidays, Bowling and Angry birds.
Who doesn’t love a bank holiday weekend? An extra day before the routine begins again, a whole 24hrs more before the Sunday blues kick in, no homework for an extra day. In our house I love that Bens off for an extra day and one day less (actually two extra days this time) of the […]
Never Grow up.
With the Big 30th fast approaching I marked it with a very suitable very grown up tattoo. Now I know tattoos aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but I love them. I got my first tattoo when I was 18, paw prints on my shoulder. Its not a tattoo I regret although I will soon give […]
All things snuggly and warm.
So I know that I usually post on trying to see the butterfly moments in life but sometime we have to embrace the caterpillar ones when they are here. When i’m having a caterpillar day, maybe where my arthritis is just so sore that I cant physically or psychologically face the world there are some […]
‘One day I’ll fly away’
Having Blogged every day last week, written a report for Uni as well as an essay, totalling well over 10,000 words, I seem to have ran out of words this week. All week I have felt like I have something to say but I just couldn’t work out what that was. Having had a really […]
Just like we dreamed it, Happily ever after.
This time last week we where home and only just awake and recovering from the exhaustion that hits you after a Disney holiday. Disney isn’t really a holiday in the way most people think of one. Its action packed, full of adventure, and fun but it also involves the longest days and takes so much […]
