    Looking Back on April 2017

    Once again I can hardly believe that’s another month over! I guess because Little Miss was off for two weeks and now my dad’s off the time just seems to be flying. Tomorrow is a bank holiday so LM is sitting in my bed eating left over Easter chocolate and watching her favourite, Hook. The perfect time for photo editing and blogging. This month has been both wonderful and hard. We started the month off in London with one of our friends from Florida and her husband. Prior to her trip we’d only hung out once while she wasn’t at work and I’d never met her husband but they turned…

    Looking Back on March 2017

    Is that March over already? I’m glad that this year is moving quickly because between our trips every day life sucks. It was my birthday this month and I turned 29, yep 29. One year off 30. I don’t think I took it well and I did a fair amount of crying. I really wanted to be okay about it but I’m not. Maybe one day I’ll get back to loving every day life like I used to but right now, I just don’t. So March, not only did I celebrated my birthday, which was nice in it’s own way and I was truly spoilt but it was Mothers Day,…

    Looking Back on February 2017

    February has been a strange month, looking back now I don’t really even remember most of it, that’s how little happened during it. Little Miss started Drama classes the first weekend of the month. Then there was obviously Valentines Day which I didn’t really celebrate and Little Miss had half term, which is all I can really remember of the month. During half term we had a few afternoons out, we went away to Newcastle for the day and we went to see the Lego Batman Movie. I’ve been really under the weather with something I just can’t put my finger on and this caused some serious anxiety issues. I…

    Looking Back on January 2017

    Towards the end of last year I got lax on my “Looking Back On…”, which sucked because I really enjoyed doing them and it was a nice way to reflect on my best of blog, keeping all my favourite posts from the month together along with a summary of what we got up to. So for 2017 I’m going to do my best to resurrect them. January has, as ever, been a truly long and gruelling month. Anxiety has been high, self esteem has been low and the weather has been pretty rubbish. This January was particularly bad as I was (still am) nursing a truly broken heart and it’s…

    Looking Back on August 2016

    Today is the last day of August and Little Miss and I are off on our final adventure before she starts primary school next week. I can’t wait to share it on the blog with you as it’s a big one. That is summer pretty much over now. August has felt both long and short. I went 20 days without seeing my boyfriend right down the middle of the month which was hard. I have als been struggling with the anxiety about Little Miss starting school. The weather however has been beautiful, lots of days in the garden, barbecues and days on the beach. We also fit in seeing Finding…

    Looking Back on July 2016

    Yay, July is just about over. I really did not get on well mentally with July as I wanted, with having 5 weekends and not spending as much time with my boyfriend as I had in May & June I really struggled with feeling lonely, anxiety and paranoia. I saw him the first weekend and as this post goes live I’ll be in the Peak District celebrating his birthday with a weekend break together. I just may be in the private hot tub. I got so used to seeing him all the time that it was a definite shock to the system this month. But hopefully June will be better.…
