Reasons why you should love winter
Friday, 18 December 2020
Hey readers,
So it is currently pouring down and the wind is blasting my hair around. It has been like this for several days and it can get more down with all the greyness.
So, I thought it would be good to write some positive reasons why Winter is actually not that bad and there are some positives to this miserable and grey season.
Let's start off with food - not any old food but comfort food. The yummy stuff full of carbs and gravy to warm up your belly followed by sponge pudding and custard.
A valid reason to stay indoors when it is so cold and wet. You can even be forgiven for wearing your pj's on all day. You can dose about have a duvet day, keep warm and watch as much trash as humanly possible.
If you are feeling cold a perfect way to warm up is to have a hot bath and getting all warm with fleece PJ's.
Blankets and hot bottles rule when it is so cold and all you can hear is the wind whistling and battering the windows.
I will be honest with one of my favourite things to do is to fall asleep with the sound of rain hitting my window. It is so soothing and it makes me feel grateful that I am safe in my warm home.
That being said you can not enjoy a winter walk in woodland and then know that you can come home to get warm again.
Loads of cuddles keeping you nice and warm, safe from any harm and lazying around is the best knowing that you can just relax at home with your loved ones.
Hot chocolate is the desired beverage - perfect to warm your cockles and feel all cosy inside.
What kind of things do you love about Winter? Love to hear your thoughts in the comment section down below.

Classic Christmas Traditions.
Monday, 14 December 2020
Hey readers,
We all have the memories of things we did in our childhood, especially for Christmas that we hold on to and want to share with our children.
I am going to share some of mine that we do for my children at Christmas.
Let's start with a golden oldie, leaving a plate with a mince pie, carrot and drink on the night of Christmas Eve. Obliviously, we as parents will have to leave some crumbs and icing sugar to let the child know Santa has been.
In the morning when they see the plate they are beyond happy especially as they link to presents.
Having a select day to decorate the tree in December with the kiddos happens every year. It is a challenge for us parents to not want to kill our children due to the chaos but overall it is jolly good fun.
That does not stop us, adults, though sneakily later on in the evening go and rearrange the tree.
On Christmas Eve we get into our comfy clean PJs to settle down early evening and watch whatever 'premiere' child-friendly cartoon is on and this year.
Another tradition that we do is write a letter to Santa to let him know that your child has been good and what your child would dearly love this year. This year my eldest basically wanted everything in Smyth's store ;)
Followed by at Christmas we do a reply letter from Santa, AKA mummy to tell my little darling how lovely they have been.
Let's forget all about the bad times because Christmas is meant to be all lovely and warm. This will be left for Christmas Day.
Every year with my children we make a Christmas decoration (brought from the lovely Poundland) to go on our Christmas tree.
Finally, the last thing I love doing with my children is on Christmas Day after dinner going for a walk, more than likely to the park. There is something lovely about going outdoors when the majority of people are indoors. There is a strange type of eeriness to it.

why being married is good
Wednesday, 2 December 2020
Hey readers,
Sometimes married life can be mundane especially with kids involved, you can lose sight of the person. So, today I am going to celebrate why being married is good.
I can be myself, warts and all without feeling a numpty because I can be a numpty in my hubby's eyes and still be loved.
You don't have to do all the whole dating thing and put on this pretence idea of someone who you are not.
Provides safety and knowing that I have the support and someone else who helps with the childcare.
I can fart and it is acceptable.
I can be relaxed and have a laff now and again ;)
You have the company together and can watch something you both enjoy.
Having someone to make you tea.
Having someone help when you are too anxious to deal with a situation.
Having a different perspective to yours.
Learning things from them that you would never think of.
Feeling less lonely.
Having the option to say to the children, 'go and ask daddy' when you can't be arsed to answer the 2345 question that day.
Having deep and meaningful conversations.
Experiencing things with that person.
My hubby is someone I can rant, swear and let it all out.
Having a soundboard to listen to my whacky ideas.
Someone I can trust who is reliable.
Having a ying to your yang.
Being allowed to have a cheeky sleep now and again whilst they look after the kids makes a huge difference.
Someone who can help me understand forms and how to fill the fuckers out.
Someone to look after me when I am full of sickness.
Feel like a team that can handle the matter rather then just me tackling it and totally screwing it up.
