My nerves are not so quick to dissipate, I see a slide and I shudder with the dread of a broken leg and when she tries to climb my heart leaps into my mouth and camps out for a while. She … [Read more...]

A beach, a park and only one trip to A&E – Northernmum
By · 28 Comments
With the normality of school suddenly back in full swing and the house is once again in a semi clean state it is hard to believe that the children had a whole six weeks of summer. Even though the recycling bin is full to bursting with empty bottles and the family home has more crayon marks and hand marks than before I am proud to say I am a survivor and that I enjoyed the time off with the … [Read more...]
