Jan's little thing called, life!

Hello there, how we all doing? Me, I'm feeling a bit of an emotional wreck tbh, few days away from going back to school and my middle Child (Georgina) is going up to Secondary (high) school, which leaves me feeling all the emotions. I thought I'd write a blog post to debunk everything I'm thinking and feeling, I think a lot of Parents can relate. Firstly where on earth have the last 11 years gone? Have I woken up from a very long sleep? I really have no blinking clue as to where the years have gone and frankly I am far too scared to blink incase I jump forward a few more years... wow it really does go so fast huh? it's true what they say about time goes fast when you're having fun! So very proud. Anyway, apart from feeling like I've been in some sort of deep sleep and skipped ahead a few years (felt like this with my Son too, he is now in yr9) I am also feeling very proud of the young woman my Daughter is becoming, she is gaining so much more in confidence...

Hello there, as we are approaching the end of August, I thought I would write a little list of things that made me happy this month. In no particular order. (I could be the Xfactor host... ha-ha) 1. Taking my Daughters to Kidzania, it's a role play city where kids get to experience doing jobs and earning money, it's situated in westfield shopping centre in London, (there is more all over the world) taking them here made me very happy as they have been so excited to visit this place for about a year and watching them having heaps of fun there makes my heart feel all warm and fuzzy. My Daughters at Kidzania. 2. Picnics in the park. We do this a lot when the weather is nice, cheap family days out and we can all let off some energy and also meet up with family & friends. 3. London day out, my Children really wanted to visit the sugglife x PB (#SLxPB) pop up shop in Covent garden, it's YouTubers Zoella (Zoe sugg) ThatcherJoe (Joe sugg) and Pointless blog (Alfie...

Hello there, we took a trip to London. I'm sat here listening to absolute 80's (cruel summer is on right now) so I thought I would take this time out to write a blog post about our day out while listening to some music (love me some 80's tunes) as today is a chilled day at home. Well it was more of a change of plans really, We were meant to be going to LEGOLAND but my Daughters really wanted to go to the Zoella, ThatcherJoe (bro & sis Zoe & Joe sugg, sugglife) and pointless blog aka Alfie Deyes (zoe's boyfriend, they are all youtubers, my girls are obsessed) collab merch pop up shop (in Covent garden) so we changed plans and went to London instead. It opened on Wednesday 23rd August until 3rd September and so Friday 25th Aug was the only day we could get to London as a Family, so off we went. We got up at 6.30am had breakfast, meltdowns over what to wear (incase they saw their idols) finally got out the house an hour later than I had planned (ahhh kids) th...
