Gripped By Island Fever

beautiful island of les ecrehous with its stony beach and one house

It’s a Sunday morning. The house is still and the only sound is the rain hammering against the windows. The never ending sodding rain. It feels like it has been raining non-stop since the 30th ... Read More

  • Over on the blog( link in bio) i'm talking about the 9 Stages of Chickenpox. Shakespeare knows his tragedies and it really felt like there was a plague on our house! Poor Youngest really suffered with it and we had to rush her to the docs for antibiotics because at one stage she couldn't open her left (or was it right?) eye. Swipe across to see how those pesky spots developed. It's her first day back at school today. Wish us luck! 🤞 ps still no chickenpox for Oldest 😬 . . . . . . . .#thismamaloves #igmums #lionessmama #alldaykids #motherhoodlens # moherhoodmomenrs #ponderingparenthood #mommydiaries #rememberingthesedays #chickenpox

  • What a beautiful Bank Holiday weekend it has been! ☀️ We have loved having a garden again and today Youngest was feeling well enough for a water fight. In other news I’m having a bit of a rant about the Jersey property market and why we could never afford to buy our lovely rental.

  • This photo pretty much reflects this week's situation, i'm flat out. I had my foot operation on Monday and I'm now not allowed to walk around for at least a week 😱 Luckily I have plenty of books to keep me company. One of them being this beautifully poetic book - The Awkward Age. It's this month's #mnbookclub. This book will place you on an emotional battlefield and force you to choose sides. It will consume you and leave you feeling just a little heartbroken. 💔 Head over to the link in my profile to read my review of this novel.

  • "Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why". - Eddie Cantor This quote pretty much sums up why I loved the @tots100 #flearetreat ❤. We set good intentions, enjoyed every moment and we went back to the roots of blogging - the joy and art of storytelling. I'm hanging onto the good vibes from this weekend as tomorrow I go into hospital for my foot operation and I'm feeling slightly nervous. It will all be worth it though. 💪 . #ukexplore #visitbritain #somerset #instago #postiveenergy #positive_vibes #greatoutdoor #samsungs9plus #croydonhall

  • I have just come back from the most amazing and inspiring bloggers' retreat run by @tots100. I was very nervous about attending but I'm so glad that I pushed myself to go. I loved the creative writing sessions run by @familyadventureproject I don't normally feel confident enough to share my work but by the second session I felt brave enough to do just that (even if I did add the disclaimer "it's not very good but"...It's still progress)💪 I loved every second of the weekend, from the early morning yoga through to the dinner in the evening. A lovely weekend in a beautiful setting with wonderful company. I have come away feeling inspired, empowered and a little more confident ♥️ We all need weekends like this. #flearetreat
  • It’s fair to say that I inhaled this novel by @hotpatooties. At the core of this novel is a great message - don’t follow the herd. I took that message a little too far when I was determined to find the perfect herd of Jersey cows so I could get a photo of me stood in front of them reading this novel. Those cows must have heard/herd (😉) I was coming because I couldn’t find a single cow on the island. I had to settle for this flat-lay instead. Pfft. Head over to the link in my profile to find out what I thought of this novel. This is one feisty feminist read! Now I had better moo-ve onto the next book from #mnbookclub.
