Adventures of a 20 something mum

End of an era

Hello everyone just to say. I have came to the decision (tough) to say goodbye to my blog and call it a day. It’s not working out for me .. I can’t dedicate the time to it. My laptop is broken so blogging on my phone really wasn’t doing it for me .. and it’s not just writing it’s the sharing across many social platform . Engaging with other bloggers and going to conferences I just can’t do it.…

Do I want more children?

The short answer is Yes!

You’ll be surprised but growing up I’ve never been the maternal type, and wasn’t overly glad about mum having another kid and younger brothers for me. So whenever my friends asked if I wanted any children I used to say I don’t know or I’ll have to meet the right person. But as I’ve discovered the right person isn’t always the best person, because people change and…

Being a SAHM & Mum guilt

I think every mum has gone through a similar thought process when they have bad days, especially us stay at home mums (SAHM) because we have more time to reflect and think negatively and we have to deal with literally everything our kids throw at us, yes including toys! I’ve written previously my typical day in the life with 2 kids.

One day I’ll wake up and feel like Supermum, and other days I…

Potty training diaries – #week 1

So it’s finally here, that somewhat overwhelming aspect of every parents life with toddlers. Potty training! Such a scary yet exciting time because your once little newborn baby is no more.

So yesterday was National Pokemon Day, I cannot believe I forgot but being a busy mum I totally didn’t realise until last night but by that point I was tired beyond writing words for this tag. I came across a tag on the #bloggintribe over on Twitter, click here to see Kim’s answers.

This took me what felt like forever to write up, just because I haven’t played a Pokemon game for a while, since…

Here are 7 reasons why gamer boyfriends make the best boyfriends! 🎮

Ive wrote previously about how I came to meet the love of my life, but to briefly before I met Ben I was in a very sad and lonely place, yeah I had my 2 boys who are my world, but there was always that empty void, that feeling of something missing… someone missing from my life. And luckily I stumbled upon my soul mate Ben who showed me true gentlemen do exist and more than that .. we actually are…

Learning to love my body after having 2 kids

I’ll admit I’ve never been one of those skinny girls in school and developed quite quickly so stretch marks and cellulite was a thing I gained quite early on (inherited I believe!)

But I have always been larger chested which I have always been quite proud of but buying bras has been quite the mission, forget Primark and supermarket brands, definitely buying them from M&S or Debinhams from now on.

Happy birthday to me 🥳

Another year older, another year closer to the big 30! I don’t want to get to that age yet, I don’t feel ready. Someone pause time and make me age slower please, I’m lucky I’m blessed with a young looking face but how long can I keep that up for?

26 years old, 26! Eek that just sounds too scary, without sounding ungrateful or harsh but what have I achieved in my life so far.

Don’t get me wrong my…

Screen time – I bought my toddler a tablet, here’s why >

Screen time and toddlers is quite a hot topic in debates across the world, some saying kids are getting too much screen time and others saying screen time is good for them and others being totally strict and not allowing any screen time at all. Which parent are you?

Everything in moderation

I always thought I’d be that mum who wouldn’t give her toddler a tablet, but Logan loves watching…

My top 7 tag!

Today I thought I’d jump on this Top 7 tag bandwagon, probably not authentically because I wasn’t exactly nominated but what the heck, I asked @mrsmummyharris  if it’d be cool to join and she said “of course, jump in” so if anyone is reading this and wants to take part who hasn’t been tagged then feel free to use me as your excuse! 😀

So the main goal of this tag is to outline the following:

My Mirena Coil (IUS) and Me

Life before Mirena and what is it…

If you didn’t know what the Mirena coil was, you’d probably be reading this like, what on earth are you going on about and who is Mirena… I don’t blame ya, it does sound like a person’s same, but in fact, the Mirena coil is an intrauterine system. 

“The Mirena is a small plastic T-shaped contraceptive device that contains the active ingredient levonorgestrel.…
