We’re making Christmassy Wibble-wobblers! ⛄️
So fun to make and play with.
All you need is a marble, a balloon, a small piece of string and permanent markers to decorate.
Give it a try, or save for later! ⛄️

This video is a mess, we made it with zero preparation, but I’d take our chaotic fun over perfection any day ✨

The play potential with ilovemysnug is endless! 😍 It hasn’t been used as just a sofa for more than 10 minutes since we got it, it’s been a den, bed, boat, tractor, tent, shop, tower, obstacle course and much, much more! And the best thing about it is that the cushions on our actual sofa have stayed on the whole time 🙌🏻

Not sure why I’m so shocked by the weather in May, EVERY year! 😂

This audio by diaryofanhonestmom puts my thoughts into words so eloquently. The amount of well meaning passerbys who see me with my boys and tell me ‘to enjoy every second because it goes by too fast’ is overwhelming. I really do try and stay present and appreciate this chapter of them all being so young and fun, I know how much I’ll miss these days, but I also try to give myself grace, to find things tough when things are indeed tough, and to forgive myself for not enjoying every single second. I hope this is something you can do too ❤️

AD. September, for us, is a time to reset. After a summer with no routine, it feels good to add back some structure to set us up well for the next school year. For our family, that means scheduling in time every day to eat well, be outside, move our bodies and to be together.

whitworthsuk Sunny Raisins and SHOTS are the perfect snacks to grab when we are heading outside. They’re perfect as part of a healthier routine. The boys love them and I love knowing we are fuelling our bodies with nutritious food because dried fruit is a great source of fibre and just one little pack counts towards one of their five-a-day. I love adding the SHOTS to my morning porridge too, delicious!

How do you and your family reset in September?

The effort it takes me to spend 15minutes doing something for myself is monumental during the summer holidays. I like doing a daily workout but there is always a hundred things I feel I should be doing instead. I have to quieten the misplaced guilt that is telling me I’m being selfish and instead replace it with the thought that it’s actually benefitting my children as much as me. If I manage to do a 15minute workout in the morning then for the rest of the day I feel in a much happier mood and far more able to be the type of parent I want to be. I’m a much better mum when I’m not burnt out and my needs are met, even if it is absolute and utter chaos, which it almost always is 🤪

Have you ever seen a ground trampoline and wandered how easy it would be to install? We’ve wanted one for years but haven’t had the space until now. My family all chipped in and bought our boys a 14ft Rebo trampoline as a joint birthday present. We absolutely love it, but let me tell you, the installation was far from easy.
The trampoline wasn’t too bad to put together, a little bit fiddly and it required a lot of strength but relatively straightforward. It was the digging and levelling of the hole that was the biggest challenge and then working out what to do with the big mound of dirt we now have 😅
The whole project took way more time, strength, money, tools and maths than we anticipated. Now that it’s all done it feels so worth it and hopefully we’ve built it well enough that it’ll be a family favourite for many, many years ❤️

4 Family Games Night Ideas.
The instructions are in my stories.

All our games this week involved foam practice golf balls, but any type of small ball would work well.

We had a 5th game not shown here, where we threw a ball in the air and tried to see how many times we could clap before catching it.

Our games nights are just for fun, there is no emphasis on winning, it’s purely a fun evening to connect as a family.

Your eyes aren’t deceiving you, we had 5 boys joining in this week with the addition of one of our nephews. He really enjoyed it and was sure he won every game 🥰

Happy games night!

Hi Best Friends 👋🏼 bionic.toys kindly sent us two of their Scorpio kits 🦂
We made one into a grip and one into a sting.
We had so much fun making them, playing with them, adapting them and battling with them.
Thank you bionic.toys we love them!

Here is a reminder to all parents of young children to try and find a moment of being present in amongst the chaotic giving and receiving of presents this weekend. To soak in the magic of Christmas. For all too soon this will all be referred back to as ‘the good old days’ that we’ll long to relive.
Thank you to rosaandbo for providing us with the perfect toy for baby Narley to play with his older brothers with. The quality of these nesting woodland dolls is beautiful!
Merry Christmas Eve ❤️

My top 5 posts of 2024 countdown. 5- Dancing in the Moonlight.

I’ve had the wildest year on here. Last New Year I made the decision that I wanted to spread joy and inspiration to as many parents and caregivers as possible, through my videos. I set myself the target of reaching 100k followers in 2024, and we laughed at how unrealistic and unattainable that felt as I was on 26k at the time. Yet I hit that milestone just 6 weeks later in early Feb and I’m so proud to be finishing the year with 240k of you by my side.

Here is my 5th most viewed video of the year 🌙
