#HolidayHeroes Competition with Ice Lolly*
I decided to do something a little different for my third day of Blogmas. Today I’m going to share with you my heroes of 2015. I usually do some kind of post towards the end of the year about the people who have played an important role over the last year, so I thought i’d combine it with the fact Ice Lolly are running a competition about #HolidayHeroes and it’s now down to the last 9! One of these wonderfully deserving people will win a holiday to Majorca! Head over to Ice Lolly’s #HolidayHeroes page now, and by voting you’ll also get £50 off your next holiday! So, back to…

Gorgeous Grandma Day, 23rd July 2015*
Tomorrow is Gorgeous Grandma Day, and although I do think all these “unofficial” celebration days are a bit silly, I’m happy to take any opportunity to praise my Nanny (my Grandmother) and my mum (Little Miss’ Grandmother), especially after the year we’ve had with loosing my Grandpa. My Nanny is one in a million. She is now the head of our family after her husband, my Grandpa passed away in January. They have been together since my Nanny was 15 and married since she was 17. They were the epitome of old school childhood sweethearts and together they had 5 children, 16 grandchildren and so far 13 great grandchildren. That’s…

The Perfectly Honest Single Parent Post
Hi my name is Amy and I’m a single mother. I have a two year old daughter from a previous (domestic abusive) relationship and she has nothing to do with her father. I am not just a single mother, I’m a sole parent. I make all the decisions in regards to how my child is raised and I also am the only person who sets rules and boundaries. My daughter attends nursery five hours a week. Aside from that, she is with me. In the blogging world it appears to be frowned upon to admit your child is anything less than perfect. Like with everything in life as far as…

Happy Birthday Mum
Today is my mum’s birthday, and I didn’t want the day to go by without a shoutout to her. She is the most amazing woman before and I know i’ve mentioned this many times in other such posts, but she is my inspiration to be the mother I am. She has dedicated her whole life to her family, from when she was a child and lived at home with her parents and four siblings, to when she married my dad and raised my sister and I. And now she’s a wonderful grandmother to my daughter. She also looks after children in a pre-school that she is head of. She is…

We Have Something To Tell You….
Little Miss & I have something to tell you all. I’m sure most of you can guess from the above photo if you don’t know already but I have had to keep it quiet for what feels like forever. Now I can finally share with all my loyal readers, not only a cute photo of my daughter (because I’m feeling rebellious after the day past week I’ve had) but some incredibly exciting news for us; Disneyland Paris, that is (although I look forward to the day I can announce I’m going back to my homeland of Disney World..) ANYWAY, yes. I have had a holiday booked for Little Miss, my…

A Charming Story for Mothers Day with Argento
I have no idea how I’m just sitting down to blog at this time of night! I feel exhausted but at the same time, wide awake.. and is it just me or has the temperature suddenly rocketed? I actually have my bedroom window open tonight, although I will close it before going to sleep. Today, I’m talking about my mum. Again. She crops up quite often on my blog, maybe because she’s one of the most important people in my life. In fact, I’d go as far to say that my mum is my hero. At the end of the month there is a special day to honour these heroes…
