Hello…….. Anyone there

Hi again 

I’m still alive…… 

(Will forever love this snapchat filter)

As with us all life has been very busy of late so I have neglects my blog 😭😭😭

I’m sorry I must try better. 

I was looking at my phone and noticed 7 notification on my WordPress app so here I am back again! 

So what have I been up to….. Well same old I suppose

Eat sleep work mummy time…… Repeat. 

It’s so time consuming (although I wouldn’t change it for anything EVER)…. Well maybe the work part… But I do love my job. 

I’ve recently become an FM cosmetics distributor purely to get discount myself whilst maybe making a few sales along the way, I’m in no way shape or form doing it to give up my job, but making a few pennies along the way doesn’t harm anyone….. Does it. 

I’m set to put my first big order in next week and I’m ordering lots of makeup for meeeeeee so I will include before and after pics in with my blog as time goes on. 

Yesterday I bought some mince pies just to annoy the husband as its only September. They were really yummy but it’s really not time to think Christmas yet …… Or is it 

On that note I best get back to work 

See ya

Diet…… What diet! My summer bodies just hiding

  
If your anything like me, you’ll be determined to make your summer body happen…..

…….last year you were so close…….

So here’s how my typical day goes

6am alarm goes off……. Up I get wander downstairs grab a drink (at this point I should probably ran breakfast too but my eyes are hardly open)

6:15 I’ve managed to get back upstairs with my drink and sit down in front in front of my dressing table and start (very slowly) getting ready 

I have to say at this point..if you haven’t guessed… I’m not a morning person….. I’m not moody on a morning… But…. Well I don’t talk….

7am I’m ready now time to sort the kids out and leave the house at 7:20 

8:30 arrive at work…… However I haven’t had breakfast yet and I find myself aimlessly walking into poundland and buy breakfast biscuits (might not be bad you say….. Just you wait) and 2 bottles of Pepsi max 2 for £1 “bargain” 

………..as the morning goes on I have my breakfast biscuit….. I’m doing well……. But then I know the whole pack is in my bag…… Must……..resist! 

Dinner time – sandwiches and a packet of crisps 

Afternoon …….. Here’s where it goes downhill……. I’m peckish…… Another breakfast biscuit gone….. And another….. And another…… Oops how did that happen…….

Teatime depending on what snacks are in the house whilst I’m cooking tea…… Nom nom nom nom nom 

Seriously don’t know where I’m going wrong……….

And now Easter well so many chocolate goodies just shouting eaaaaaat meeeeee 

Be rude not too…..

Summer body here I come………

Who’s right who’s wrong

  
So today I’ve woke up feeling sad……

I love my job and the difference it can make to people’s lives. But the hardest thing in the world is leaving my two children 4 days a week. The guilt the sadness.

Even after having my eldest I returned to work so it’s not like it’s something new….. 

But what’s the right thing to do? 

Stay at home and struggle for money? Or go to work. 

I’m not in a position to not work so it’s not an option, but a couple of weeks back one of my customers when talking about children said “why have a child if your not going to be there?” 

It literally burnt a hole in my heart! 

After a while I thought no……. Not every family is the same! You do what right for your family and no one else’s! You don’t follow a trend! Or do what someone tells you on tv. 

Just because I work a 30 hour week doesn’t mean I love my children any less. 

I’m so lucky that I have a wonderful mum who looks after my little munchkins 3 out of the 4 days. And a wonderful childminder who looks after them one day a week! 

There’s going to be days that I’m sad like today (it’s usually after a weekend or Thursday I feel this way) but that’s only normal. 

I’m doing what I feel is right for my family and that’s all that matters! 

So for days like this there’s only one thing to do……….. Reach for the chocolate and count down the hours till home time! 

It’s Friday after all

Day in the life of……….

A mummy 

A wife 

A friend 

A mortgage advisor 

Me……

………. How to juggle everything. How to keep everyone happy……
 Sometimes I don’t know how I do it! Juggling all these roles is hard! Who’s with me? But I love each role and wouldn’t change anything for the world 

But……

There is only one thing that is consistant in life and that’s change! No matter how hard you try “plan” your life.

1 year goal

5 year goal 

10 year goal

Nobody knows what is just around the corner. Sometimes good sometimes bad, but you have to try make the best of EVERY situation no matter how hard it seems and be there for the important people in your life. Be thankful for everything you have and take everything in your stride!

Something spooky going on

  
Don’t get me wrong I love the summer, I love the heat, but there’s just something about Autumn, the fallen leaves, getting darker earlier cosy nights in what’s more to love. 

And then there’s Halloween having two children I have discovered how magical Halloween really is. 

 

This year is Alexa rose first year properly getting dressed up she was only 3 months last year but this year she loved collecting sweets and of course so did Aidan! 

   

 People around us go all out its amazing how much effort people put in. 

It’s only days like this that you see true community spirit. 

And now only 55 sleeps till Christmas 

Can’t wait

Be thankful for what you have got….

I’m seeing a lot of posts relating to why we are thankful! 

It’s a brilliant idea, my blog is quite new so I haven’t been nominated, but why should I wait! So here are my 5 reasons that I’m thankful-

1. My beautiful family, what I would do without them I really don’t know. They brighten my day they are my world. 
2. I have a job, some people take this for granted, but you never know what is around the corner, I am lucky to have a job that pays well enough for me and my family to enjoy days out…. Holidays….. New things 
3. That my dad is ok….. I am thankful that all my family no matter how close are ok but especially my dad after what he went through! Although annoyed that he changed a lightbulb rather than waiting….. Grrrrr
4. Bit materialistic but FaceTime… My sister and her boyfriend are travelling the world and by having FaceTime means I can still speak to her and see her! 
5. Finally……….. Hmmmmm………. I’m thankful for the way my parents brought my up, to use my manners, they pushed me at school, they went without so me and my sister could have things, without them I wouldn’t be the person I am today, I can never repay them for that even if I tried……

If you read this post and you have anything your thankful for why not post something similar yourself……….

Me again……….

Hi again….. Thought I would do a post now that will be a better reflection of what I set my blog up for….

So today I want to talk about two of my favourite products of the moment

 I’ve started using the aloe lips with lush lip scrub.

I always suffer with chapped lips especially in the winter the aloe lips certainly helps but now I use the lip scrub once a day whether they are chapped or not, the lip scrub gets rid of the dead skin and the aloe lips makes them super soft, they are still soft when I wake up in the morning too.

The lip scrub comes in so many “flavours” too I love it I would highly recommend both of these.

Dad’s coming home

I’m so happy right now dads coming home, after a week in the hospital in Munich he’s been given the OK to fly and he will return Thursday evening! 

I’ve always been a daddy’s girl and when I found out what had happened I felt so helpless! Like there was nothing I could do! There’s no worse feeling, I’ve felt empty for days, I literally feel like a weight has been taken off my shoulders and I can smile again. 

  

(Left to right Aidan, hubby craig and dad)

He’s having to pay £400 to fly home and all because he refused to take travel insurance (he’s a stubborn sod) he went with just his e111 card! 

Moral of the story always take travel insurance! In a blink of an eye your life could suddenly change! 

What a weekend

Here’s my first blog post a couple of days later than I had hoped but it was simply one of those weekends………..

I wanted to post, introduce myself……. Etc etc so here it is

I’m Kelly I’m 29 married with two children Aidan 6 and Alexa rose 14 months (or 1 haha) I’m also a newly qualified mortgage advisor.

I was introduced to blogging by my sister she has a blog on here (This is the link http://thelittlewild.com/ ) she has found it helped her when she was suffering with depression just to get her thoughts down and now it’s taking a different turn as she has gone travelling today with a one way ticket I’m sad to see her go but happy that she’s doing something she loves……..

This weekend though we both recieved news that our dad who was travelling to Cyprus for a month had collapsed on the plane suffered a fit and in turn the plane was diverted to Munich, there it was found that he had a tiny bleed on the brain from a fall in August, causing him to fit and he has fractured two vertebrae. He’s still in Germany as I type.

They say nature works in mysterious ways! I took this picture on Saturday about an hour after finding out about my dad it was to me natures way of saying my dads going to be ok!

Thanks for reading
