• We have packed away our Mickey Mouse ears and we are now making our way back home. It's been a magical (but also very tiring) couple of days. The children didn't want to leave (I suspect Mr C didn't want to either) and they have been living their best life. I didn't realise what thrill seekers the girls were. They don't get it from me. The Tower of Terror lived up to its name 🤢 and I nearly lost my glasses on the Crush Coaster.🤓 On the photos I'm always the one with my head down or eyes closed 🙈. There were so many amazing moments and we are coming away with lots of lovely memories. I apologise now for all of the Disney photos I will be sharing. 😬 . . . . .#instadisney #disneyland #disneylandparis25 #disneylandparis2018 #disneylandparis #dreamsdocometrue #nofliterneeded #dlp
  • "A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going. And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, and darkness crept over the land from the east." - John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath. If you watch my instastories you will know that I love a sunset.🤣 I feel very lucky that we get to enjoy such stunning views. Selling our last house was slightly stressful and I still can't believe that we did it. Also, in our last house we didn't have such beautiful views. However, I did get to see Barry scratching his balls on the balcony opposite. All. Of. The. Time. Don't be jealous. I wonder what Barry and his balls are up to now 🤔 #putthemawaybarry #theislandbreak #visitbritain #visitjersey #positive_vibes #positivequotes #literaturelover #literaryquotes #jerseyci #instapositivity #instasunset #channelislands
  • Today has been my favourite kind of day. 😍 Sunny Sundays should always be spent paddling in the sea. #theislandbreak #islandlife🌴 #islandliving🌴 #visitjersey🇯🇪 #jerseyci #vitaminsea #alltheblues #seascape #sea_sky_nature #channelislands
  • This is the face of a woman who is slightly nervous about the next 6 weeks of summer. This is the face of a child plotting all of the fun she can have! Have you seen the very cheesy quote doing the rounds? The one about cherishing the next 18 summers with your children😱🤯 I love my children but there is no way I cherish every single moment. I'm sure they feel the same and that they have days where they wish I would stop nagging them and asking them a billion questions😂. So far we are enjoying the summer and the girls have just had a brilliant week with their granny and pop-pop. Over on the blog I'm sharing why it's an end of an era and my hopes (and fears) for the summer. Link in profile. Let's do this!💪 . . . . . .#everydaymoments #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #mommydiaries #momentslikethese #momentsweadore #motherhoodlens #littlelivelaughlove
  • Are you looking for an easy summer read? A book that you can throw in your suitcase and take on your holibobs with you? Why Mummy Swears by Gill Sims is just the ticket. This might be a fabulously funny read but it still contains some spiky observations on a working woman's place in society and marriage. Kick back, open this book and be prepared to laugh from start to finish. Read my review to find out more. Link in profile. (Disclaimer - I was gifted this book so I could review it for the Mumsnet Book Club) . . . . . . . . .#mnbookclub #mumsnet #booklove #booknerd #booksofinstagram #bookgeek #booksbooksbooks #bookish #instareads #fiction #literaturelover #literary #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #bookblogger #bookaddict #bookaholic #booktastic #bookstagram
  • *The sober path! 101 days sober* 101 days ago I decided to give up alcohol for 100 days. Not because I considered myself to have a drinking problem but because I decided I wanted a break from it. I was worried that for the last couple of years I couldn't remember a weekend when I hadn't had wine. I was worried that the wine had become my weekend treat, my go to for when I was stressed and my go to for when I wanted to celebrate. Clever marketing makes us see wine as this magical elixir and I wanted to find out what happened when I removed it. Did I lose my sparkle?🎉 I've written a blog post that will go live later this week but in the meantime I want to share that 1) I didn't get that sparkly BOTOX shizz that everyone talks about.🙄 2) I didn't lose weight, I put it on. How is that even possible? 3) And this is the most important one - I have changed my whole thinking towards wine😎. So outwardly there is no difference but inwardly there are some changes. It's made me realise lots of things about myself and I really think that everyone should give up the ole booze for three months. You never know what you might learn and unlike me you might get the sparkly skin. 101 days sober has taught me that I can still get the party started without the wine. 🎊Cheers to that🎊. . . . #sobrietyrocks #sobrietytest #soberissexy #soberliving #100dayschallenge #sobrietyrules #clubsoda #soberlife #sobermum
  • This one turns 9 tomorrow and I'm feeling a little emosh. Where have those 9 years gone? It only seems like yesterday when we were bringing her home from the hospital and now she is 9 going on 19. Oldest who is master of the eye roll👀. Oldest who is hilarious and far too quick-witted🤣. Oldest who is caring, loyal and creative. 😍 🎉Happy Birthday🎉 Now if time could stop moving quite so quickly.🕝 . . . . . . .#happybirthday #everydaymoments #childhoodunplugged #candidchildhood #motherhoodlens #momentsweadore #mommydiaries #momentslikethese #liveauthentic #jerseyci #vsitjersey #happybirthdayoldest
  • When I first started dating Mr C I was a vegetarian. I would force feed him tofu curry and he would try not to vomit. We were both fairly awful cooks and as a result we would often go to our local @pizzaexpress for a romantic/eat all the carbs before we hit the bars date. I loved the Leeds Pizza Express. It was under the railway arches, right behind the Corn Exhange, and had a really cool vibe. It didn't have much of a view though. 15 years later and nothing much has changed, we still love a Pizza Express and I'm a vegetarian again. However, there have been two little changes - 1) We now have two lovely children and as a result romance has gone out of the window. Hard to get that romantic vibe going when you are ducking flying dough balls. 2) The view has changed. That view has to be one of the best views from a Pizza Express. 😍 FYI this is not an ad for Pizza Express, I just love pizza and that view. Ps can you tell I'm eating really healthy at the moment? This is the second Instagram post about food this week 😂 . . . . . #restaurantwithaview #pizzaexpress #ilovepizza #vitaminsea #theislandbreak #cafetable #pizzaexpressmoments #beachlife🌊 #seascape #visitjersey🇯🇪 #jerseyci
