Holiday Time

June 23, 2013

Holiday Time.

Tomorrow morning we’ll be flying off to Portugal for two whole weeks in the sun and I can’t wait. It will be 14 days of pure uninterrupted family time which means no work, social media or blogging for me so I can take a proper break.

We’re also excited to be meeting up for lunch with great friends of ours who live there and it will be the first time they’ll meet the children.

…Fear not, though, I will be back soon (hopefully a little more tanned and totally relaxed from lots of Vitamin D and more fresh fish than I could handle) and in the meanwhile, you can check out some of my recent posts

Funny Things My Kid Says.

Things you Should Never Say to a Pregnant Lady.

Wonderful Women Wednesday-The Interview with Broadcaster Sarah Cawood

A Creative Life-Pushing Through the Self-Doubt.

Nothing on earth will convince me that marrying an Nothing on earth will convince me that marrying and having kids with a calm man is not the single best decision a hyper independent woman/ only/ eldest daughter can make. That man will calm your nervous system and stop you catastrophising. He’s a weighted blanket in human form.
