Once a week..

Hello my lovelies!


I'm guessing you have gathered from the title what I'm basically trying to say is that until further notice I will only be doing a blog post once a week. Unfortunately it is just how it is until I've got a routine properly in place as Scott is back at work and I'm trying to do everything at once!


I've started my healthy living. Which has included a change of diet (not some fad diet. I mean a full on life changing diet that I have to live with forever), daily exercise and some gentle detox. Plus looking after my body in the sense of moisturising and such. Its actually taking a lot more to make these changes as its an all at once change which can obviously be daunting to anyone but when you have to work it round cleaning, baby time and such the temptation to just eat bad stuff cause its easier is very tempting indeed.


But I am being good. I'm making meals from scratch instead of take aways or ready meals. This not only benefits myself but it benefits Jack and Scott as they get a healthier diet as well. Scotts in no way out of shape or anything but he doesn't eat healthy either so its a lifestyle change. I have porridge in the morning with blueberries and strawberries mixed in. Lunch I have a toasted sandwich or jacket potato/ new potatoes with some kind of topping and a hunk of veg/salad and for dinner I have my home made soup, which I make with all veg, no potatoes. No cream.


So that's started. Plus I'm trying to go for walks everyday, I didn't today but that was mainly because I did a load of house work and I feel I have worked my butt off and got sweaty so that's pretty good exercise and I haven't even finished yet, still need to hoover and mop the floors! Plus make soup! Gah I need to write a list.


This isn't a proper blog post, I'm going to do one tomorrow! I just really wanted to tidy up today and get the flat all sparkly so I can relax for a bit tomorrow and do the blog post properly. This is a 'Jacks asleep and I've put my feet up for a little while" post. Plus to tell you why I'm going to once a week as of tomorrow.


I still love doing my blog and like I say, once I've sorted my daily routine out then I can fit in a couple more posts during the week. Maybe when Jacks asleep and I've set up my laptop in the bedroom!


So yeah! Wish me luck everyone. Tomorrows post will be about my love for all things Goth! Plus how I use to do my Goth make up and why I toned it down :)


Keep an eye out lovelies!


Take it easy.

OH MY WORD!!!

As the title suggests! I have been so busy I have not had 5 minutes to myself. Usually if I don't have time during the day then I will do it once Jacks asleep but as soon as I put him to bed, I've been asleep as well!

The reason?

Scotts back at work, where before he would play with Jack and I would get a few minutes to do my blog or whatever I wanted to do, now he leaves at 9 in the morning and doesn't get back until 6 at night. So my days of consisted of playing, cleaning, cooking and all the fun stuff and by the time Scott gets in the place still looks a pig sty and I'm too tired to function!

That is why I haven't ...hang on I need to change Jacks nappy.

Ok I'm back!

That is why I haven't been able to do my blog, but today I decided I would make a concentrated effort to do it! As tomorrow Jack is going to be 1! Where has that time gone? I'll tell you. Feeding, crying, sleeping, crying, pooping whilst crying, feeding, playing, playing, feeding, playing, crying, feeding, giggling, smiling, falling down, falling up, crying, laughing, feeding!

Its been amazing and exhausting. Mostly amazing but the exhaustion was still there! He is so amazing and everyday I have watched his cheeky personality grow. He loves his mummy and daddy. I get snotty dribbling kisses every night and every morning.

I'm sorry this will be a short and sweet post as I have washing up to do and Jacks cakes and... JACK NOT THE BIN PLEASE!... have to sort the clothing out as well... I think Jacks destroyed some thing. Cool.

Take it eas... JACK!...easy!

What I've been up to...

Hello people!
Well I had started writing a different blog for today but its gotten out of hand and needs more time now so will be tomorrow or Thursdays entry instead! I'm sorry.


So instead I thought it would be better to just update you on what I've been up to and maybe it'll give you some incite on why I haven't been tweeting as much or actually getting my blogs done in time.


Lately (since getting into my blogging again) I've been starting to feel more and more like me again. I mean I'm a mum first and foremost and nothing will ever be as important as that, ever. He's my world and my day begins and ends with his smile and smack in the face (love you too Jack).
But I have been feeling more me. Before I had Jack I'd play games, read books, do my hair, make up, meet with friends. When having a baby of course your priority changes. I'd rather play with him and make sure he's happy then do anything for myself! But he's coming up to a year now and he's starting to want to play with things and explore more. Hes also better at just chilling and I don't have to distract him just so I can run to the toilet!


On one hand its nice he's feeling more confident and becoming his own person, then on the other hand its like, my baaaby doesn't want me any more! *wallows in self pity*. Which is silly of course he does. He can't make lunch or change his nappy! Its good he feel comfortable now to play with his toys without mummy interfering.


Anyway so now since Mr Independent doesn't want me as much, I've had a bit more time to sort myself out. I can now do my hair and make up. I can read my books, play games and lots more. Especially with daddy around, I can have a bath and shave my legs! Wooo!


So I've been experimenting with make up a bit. Its been years since I have. My hair doesn't look or feel dead anymore.


Also I've been out and about a bit more. We had a family photo shoot last Saturday which was interesting. Went to see my lovely family in Totland which was nice. They live in a quieter town so it was nice to chill without hearing some one shouting at some one else. I took their dog for a walk as well which was great. She a lovely beast, kind of a challenge but she loves me (weirdo).


I've also been sorting out the flat, sorting through clothing and cupboards, generally having a pre spring clean and its felt good. I love being able to look through my wardrobe and find the t-shirt I was looking for instead of the t-shirts I haven't worn in years! Its such a refreshing feel to watch you discarded crap be taking to charity or carted off by the bin men! Nice clean flat!


Cooking from scratch as well! Making quiche, Sheppard's pie and soups. Its so rewarding to do and tastes amazing. Puff up all proud like a big mama bird! Yeah I made that Sheppard's pie... Tastes awesome!


So yeah, I've been a busy bunny and its all thanks to this blog and my husband and baby boy. They've truly brought me back to life and it feels awesome. I feel like a damn lady! I feel like myself and hopefully in the weeks to come it will carry on and only get better! Will be doing some make up blogs soon as well once I've perfected and found some looks I like and want to share, as well as recipes and much more.


Keep an eye out loves :)


Take it easy.
