*This post is part of a paid collaboration with Yankee Candle. This week I got to do something really fun! I was invited to a virtual event, along with my lovely mum, by Yankee Candle to celebrate their Mother’s Day campaign – Every Kind of Mum. I haven’t done any virtual events over the past year, because things have been a bit crazy, and so I wasn’t sure what to expect and was a little bit nervous. I definitely shouldn’t have been though! As soon as I logged on, I saw some familiar faces and the Yankee Candle team couldn’t have been friendlier. We were sent out a lovely wee package before t ..read more

*denotes affiliate links. Ahh, it’s been a while hasn’t it! I miss my blog, I miss writing, I miss sharing things on here without the scrunity that YouTube and social media bring. So I’m going to try and make an effort to write at least one post a week. Whether it’s something to do with the kids or parenting, beauty or fashion related, or just general life chat and musings, I will try my best! I get asked a lot about my skin and my skincare routine over on Instagram, so thought it would be useful to share what I do and what products my skin seems to like and reacts best to. Please note my ski ..read more

Summer Holiday Fun at Cineworld | AD
This Mama Life
by This Mama Life
3y ago
We have been keeping super busy this summer holiday (unfortunately with work a lot of the time!), but one activity that always pops up on the request list is the cinema. My eldest, who is five, has been to the cinema quite a few times, but I’ve actually only taken my two year old twice, because he’s a bit of an energetic character and doesn’t like to sit still for very long! I’ve noticed recently though, that his attention span is increasing and he’s much more likely to sit with his sister and watch something these days, which is lovely. They have quite similar tastes in what they like to wat ..read more

New Glasses with iChoose

I have worn glasses since I was about 14 and have always been quite fussy with what I think suits me! These days I tend to wear my contact lenses a lot but love popping my glasses on when I get home from work, or at the weekend. Recently, I ordered a few pairs of glasses from iChoose and loved how easy it all was. You literally go on their website, choose your glasses frames – the shape and colour, choose your interchangeable sides – so many colours and textures to choose from, and then choose your lenses – distance, computer, reading, varifocal, blank or no lenses. Lots of choice, but it’s s ..read more

When You Let The Negativity Get To You
This Mama Life

I’ve not blogged in forever! It makes me a bit sad because this used to be my safe, little place to write down thoughts, share memories and talk about everything I was interested in – parenting, fashion, beauty, travel, home stuff, the usual sorts of things for a 30 something year old mum. Recently though, things have taken a turn online. What used to be a wonderfully supportive and fun environment has had quite a bit of negativity, bitterness, maliciousness and gossip creep in. I’ve not said much on the subject recently because I genuinely don’t want to give these people any attention. Quite ..read more

I’m all about trying new things as a parent. I love seeing how technology can play a part in how we manage our family life and when something new comes along that promises to make parenting that little bit easier, I’m totally up for trying it!

The Nurofen Fever Smart Temperature Monitor is a continuous temperature monitoring device which allows the continuous real time monitoring of your little one’s temperature, even whilst they are asleep. It looks very techy and I lov ..read more

I’ve missed sharing some of the favourite items I come across whilst browsing and window shopping, so thought I’d share a little list of my home and interiors picks for January 2019. It’s a mix of furniture, home accessories, fragrance, wall art and lighting from a few different shops. The list features some things I’ve already picked up for our house and things that are on my current wish list. JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content.

The Deployment Diaries: He’s Home!
This Mama Life
by gd_support
3y ago
It feels really weird to be writing this. I had gotten to the stage of deployment where you think it is just the way life is now. You are so engrained in the solo routine that it becomes the norm and there just doesn’t ever seem to be an end in sight! You morph into some massively independent woman, who don’t need no man, and the thought of said man coming home is equally as unnerving as it is exciting! It’s a really hard emotional situation to describe. It’s one I don’t think I could have comprehended before being in the situation myself. I’d have just thought ‘but he’s been away for 6 month ..read more

5 Goals for 2019

2019! How is it 2019? And more importantly how is it 2020 next year and we’re not all flying around in little space cars, like in the Jetsons? Man I loved that program growing up – I need to find it on YouTube or something to show the kids! Anyhow, I digress… I wanted to share a few of my goals for the year ahead. I am notoriously bad at sticking to goals. I’m pretty good at the eating better and exercise ones (when I want to be or when I set myself a specific target) but when it comes to behavioural changes or doing more for ‘me’, I am utterly useless. Here’s hoping I do better this year! 1 ..read more

Trying out the Breville Hot Cup Water Dispenser

In our office at work we have a hot water machine that we use for all our cups of tea and coffee and I always thought that would be handy to have at home. Not having to wait for a kettle to boil, what a thought! I’ve been trying out the Breville Hot Cup Water Dispenser and at first I couldn’t understand why you would need a machine like this if you already had a kettle in the house, but I was proven wrong! As a super busy parent, time is of the essence and sometimes you just want a cup of tea, or coffee, but can’t face waiting for the kettle to boil. Or if you’re like me, you do boil the ke ..read more
