This notebook will change my life.

May 9, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

Now I love a bit of stationery. New pens, pencil cases, pencils, post it notes. Oh the excitement. But the queen of all stationery for me is the notebook. The new clean crisp pages. Ready for my careful pen strokes, ideas jotted down, experiences recorded, to do lists compiled and neatly crossed off. The possibilities … [Read more…]

Letting my baby years go

April 4, 2017 by Louise 2 Comments

Here we are at the end of week two of the big spring declutter. I’m feeling a bit better this week. Despite being ill and the injury, I achieved a lot last week. Although these two weeks have been about a general sort out to help things run a bit smoother, there has been another … [Read more…]

Day 1 of the declutter: The story so far

March 28, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

Here I am in Day 2 of my two week head and home declutter. I started with high aspirations for a major sort out. Sadly three things happened which have immediately caused me to scale back my expectations. Let’s not forget how pointless a plan is, especially in my life. 1) Maybe I’ll just have … [Read more…]

Lacking in mental capacity: life overload

March 27, 2017 by Louise 6 Comments

Being a working mummy is tough at times. People tell you how great it is to feel yourself again, have a hot cup of coffee and enjoy using your brain for adult topics. This is all great but sometimes the split life of a working parent can become overwhelming. The two separate compartments become full … [Read more…]

Mother’s Day: Loved to bits

March 26, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

Today it’s Mother’s Day. Happy day to all that are. The weeks that have preceded today have been trying, to say the least. A full on break out of the worst gastroenteritis took place in the Monkey House, lasting almost 10 days. All monkeys and Mr LMR taking their turn to undergo the agony and, … [Read more…]

Sometimes you are stronger than you think

November 26, 2016 by Louise 26 Comments

This week I got the phone call that every working parent dreads. “Hi, don’t panic, but we have had to call an ambulance.” In that moment your instincts take over. That report, that moments earlier had to be finished by 5pm, suddenly means nothing. Grab coat and bag and just run to get to the … [Read more…]

Race 10: Broken bones and tummy troubles

October 13, 2016 by Louise 12 Comments

On Sunday I ran race 10 of my 2016 5k challenges for Raindrops to Rainbows. It was the start of the Tees Trail winter series which is where my challenges began. This was a challenge that I was ready for. After weeks of struggling to make time around monkeys and getting back to work, I … [Read more…]

Today in the monkey house: I can’t do this…or maybe I can

September 30, 2016 by Louise 5 Comments

Today I had an “I can’t do this anymore” kind of day. Little Miss Monkey was up between 12 and 2.30 last night. At one point I got back into bed and refused to get up again because I was so tired and angry. Shouting expletives into the darkness did not help. I’m not sure … [Read more…]

Two weeks in and desperately seeking balance

September 23, 2016 by Louise Leave a Comment

Well here we are. I have been back at work for nearly three weeks now and how is it going? You might have noticed that the blog has been quiet. It should come as no surprise, now that I have somewhere else to be 24 hours per week, that finding the time for everything is a … [Read more…]

There’s half a plastic chicken in my designer handbag

September 6, 2016 by Louise 52 Comments

Tomorrow I go back to work after thirteen and a half months of maternity leave. I currently swing between being ok with it to desperately not wanting to go. This is the third and final time that I will take maternity leave so tomorrow is a significant day for me. This week is full of … [Read more…]
