Charlotte Louise Taylor Mama of 3. 36. Appreciator of the little things. I'm a 28 year-old, working mother of two. His name is Bill and he's three. My family isn't conventional. As for me?

One smiling, happy, brilliant little boy, who makes me happier than I thought possible. And the other is cooking away in my tummy as I write, a baby girl due in April. Bill has a mother and a father, but we aren't together anymore. But my family was made complete when I was pretty much swept off my feet by my best friend. His name is Mark. The guy makes me swoon. Life wasn't how I expected it to b

e - I'm proof that things don't always go to plan. But really, I'm happy just how things are. This blog follows the life of me and my family, a mixture of motherhood, home improvement, recipes destined to worsen cellulite and memories. And everything else in between. Professionally, I'm a trained journalist and former Group Editor, turned Content Producer. I work for Reason Digital and I get to write for lots of charities and not-for-profit organisations and play a hand in social good, which is brilliant and exciting. I love my job, but sometimes it's nice to put my feet up and write about other things in life too. As well as this blog, and my job, I have a YouTube channel of my own, where I share clips of our life (or things I've just bought). I am also part of Channel Mum, known as 'the honest face of parenting'. You should definitely give them a subscribe! I want to be that mum that proves you can bake your cake, clean up afterwards and share it with your baby too. I think I'm doing an alright job, but sometimes the washing up gets left until later. That's life. You can find me with my nose in a book, my head in the clouds, food in my mouth and my heart on my sleeve. Either that, or sucking my mum-tum in and scrutinising my reflection, singing and cooking up a storm in the kitchen or making my baby do belly laughs by pretending to be a monkey. I'm not a perfect mum. I doubt you'll come on here to be inspired much. But I love to write and it makes me happy. And I'd be quite pleased if you'd join me.

S E V E N - Happy Birthday to the little boy with the big heart who completed our family. We love you as much as you love sloths and football. 🦥 ⚽️

Happy World Book Day! 📚

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” - Dr Seuss.

I enjoyed flicking through these photos. I miss the days of having three all dressed up. Bill, as you can tell, as a celebrant of all things fun and has always loved a costume. He still does. I love that about him - he always throws so much energy into things and it makes me smile.

My little Stan is less of a fan these days, but it’s a good job we have a huge collection of football books and football kits that feel a bit more like “him.” As United Fans, Kobbie Mainoo was his number one choice today. He’s a brilliant reader and is a big fan of The Ultimate Football Heroes Series and Dog Man. He always likes to read before bed and it makes me smile.

My daughter, well, enter the true bookworm, ladies and gents. She devours a book in hours and is never happier than when she has a new one to enjoy. And my family will tell you that she reminds you of a certain someone, and that certain someone is…me! As a little girl you’d have to be incredibly interesting to tear me away from my latest book. Daisy has gone as Lottie Brooks who she is absolutely obsessed with and can’t wait for the next book due out in the summer. She even made her own book cover and has no issue with walking around with a crab head on all day. Got to love her for that.

The other photos are just happy snaps from the past that made me smile. I hope you like them too!

Here’s to books - for the stories that they tell, the imagination that they spark, the adventures that they take us on and the lessons that they teach us.

I met my younger self for coffee today…

This trend is beautiful. ☕️

06/02/2025

I updated my profile pic - I’d been wearing that pink summer dress for a bloody long time. 😂 But I felt good so I thought I’d post it here too.

Current thoughts: I’m hungry, I miss Daisy’s bubbly energy, Mark’s train is cancelled which sucks, and I don’t want to put laundry away. But it’s *almost* Friday, so I am feeling optimistic!

Have a fab evening all! Enjoy this absolute bop of a song too!

11 years since we decided to take a chance on what we had and I’m so glad we did. I’ve never been loved in the way that he loves me. He makes me feel safe, celebrated, and like I’m the bees knees (when I know I’m most definitely not). He makes me laugh until my tummy hurts, and he has never let me down. I would choose him over and over and over again, because life is infinitely better with him in it. I hope we get to grow old together and have many more years to come. I just really, really love him. And I always will. 🤍

2) Waiting in our bedroom for the kids to come up with homemade cards and presents.
3) Cuddles with my furry giant.
4) What was waiting for me downstairs.
5) Shameless selfie.
6) Ready for a massage and a facial to make me feel more human.
7) Colouring in my new colouring book from the kids.
8) Mid-dance with my favourite female.

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes. You’re wonderful. 💕

A walk and a brunch date with this champion of a lady. This week marks a year since we lost Grandad. The day itself is quietly approaching and I don’t think any of us can really believe it’s already been a whole year without him.

In the early weeks, I offered to walk with her. She loves to walk. She loves being outside and in the fresh air. It’s her therapy and makes her happy. I offered to walk with her if she wanted the company and I’ve walked with her most weeks since then. Initially, it was just us, so I could give her my full attention. But now, Merlin comes too. He loves Nanna. He also loves the dog sausages he gets at the end whilst we have a coffee too.

We’ve walked miles through drizzle, clouds, torrential rain - I remember one time we endured a walk in horrendous weather during half-term with the kids and it was that bad we all ended up laughing about how soaked we were. I made everyone get into pyjamas afterwards, it was that bad. We’ve walked through the most glorious sunshine, switching out walking boots for sandals. And we even got stuck in some mud that was so bad that Merlin was the one to turn around and lead us out of it - a look of pure disdain on his face. The seasons have changed as we’ve walked. And our conversations grew from ones of great loss and sadness, with free-falling tears, to ones of laughter, reliving memories and generally navigating the trials and tribulations of life.

I’ve always tried to prioritise our walks. It hasn’t mattered how busy I might be. I told Grandad I would be there for Nanna, and I wanted her to know that I, along with my smelly dog, were there if she needed us. Initially, I was walking for her, but I realised along the way that I was walking for me too.

I’m really proud of her. I think she is incredibly brave. She is resourceful, independent, and as fit as a fiddle. But she is also sensitive, thoughtful and very honest and open about her life. And as this anniversary approaches, I hope she knows I’ve got plenty of steps in me yet.

PHOTO DUMP 📸

Just a few from the last few weeks, including our Christmas, that I didn’t want to lose to the cavernous crypt that is my iPhone’s photo album. It feels like ages ago already, though this week has felt like the oddest limbo. I’m grateful it’s Friday, as tonight will feel like more of a normal night, as we won’t be unsure what the next day holds! I’ve never refreshed my emails more than I have this week: “Is there anything from school? Oh, nothing yet. Oh! Closed again!” Mind you, I’ve enjoyed the time with the kids. Am I behind? Yep. Am I tired? Did I get a flashback to pandemic homeschooling when I was printing more sheets off this morning? Absolutely. 😂 But it’s all good.

Happy birthday to our favourite New Year’s Eve baby. We love you, Dad. ❤️

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

I hope it’s all you dreamed of and more. ❤️

“Smile Miaow-Miaow*. It’s Christmas.”

*When Stan was little he called him Miaow-Miaow instead of Romeo and it stuck.

I already miss the sofa cuddles and chats in the morning with a brew. But I’m very excited to have a week of productivity and getting stuck into all the work I’ve got lined up. This time of year seems to fly by and my brain is full of noise, but I am just working towards that Christmas break with my family now. Going to get my ducks in a row and get on it! Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.

Our family - all looking a bit more grown-up these days. 🤍

Pumpkin Patch Pics 2024 🎃

I’ve no idea how long they will want to do this for, so I’m soaking it up. We went to and loved it, as usual. The weather has been gorgeous today and it made it all that much better. I remember one year it was torrential rain and three out of five of us fell over and couldn’t stop laughing. Nice to make memories and have these traditions - I hope they remember them as fondly as I do.

I could share a million things on here, and nothing would be more important than family. Nanna cooked up a storm - she is a truly wonderful cook - and we had a truly wonderful time. My littlest boy sat in Grandad’s chair and my heart ached in a good way. And my Nanna sent me home with the violin my Grandad bought when I started learning as a little girl, so he could learn with me.

MINI VLOG - EASTER HOLIDAYS - a girly day My eldest is visiting his grandad on his dad’s side for the weekend, my youngest was off to watch Stockport County with his dad and his football team, so Daisy and I had a girly day of her choosing. We had lunch at Starbucks so she could try the new Snoopy Frappuccino, shopping at Primark (of course), a little play in the arcade, an outfit change in the toilets and watching Six at the cinema. It was the most amazing day with the most amazing young lady - I’m so glad I get to experience these moments with her. #dayinmylife #minivlog #dayinthelife #ditl #mumof3 #easterholidays #sixthemusical

BIG FRIDAY CLEAN & RESET 🧼 How I spent my morning! Will it end up a bit messy by the end of the day? Yeah, probably. But at least it’s clean for now! #cleanwithme #fridayreset #fridayclean #cleaninginspiration #cleaningfamilyhome #cleaningwithkids #cleaningroutine #cleaningmotivation #cleaningtiktok #weekendclean

A MORNING IN THE EASTER HOLIDAYS (with 3 kids) 🐣 We met up for a walk in the sunshine, and coffee and milkshakes, with my Nanna. We were a kid down as the almost-teen was out with his mates, but everyone was happy. For balance, I felt a bit frazzled this afternoon, but my friend saved the day and I was able to get some work done while she took them for a play date. This is why your village is so important - my friends have my back, and I have theirs and I genuinely don’t know where I’d be without them. 🤍 #dayinmylife #minivlog #ditl #dayinthelife #mumof3 #easterholidays #morningwithkids

EASTER HOLIDAYS - mum of three 🐣 What we got up to today - best part is, it only cost me about a tenner for some ice creams, but we had a really good day. They are happy, so I am happy. #minivlov #easterholidays #mumof3 #dayinmylife #dayinthelife #parktrip #halftermvlog #ukmumvlog

GARDEN WITH ME: LET’S PLANT SOME SEEDS… 🌱 I’m learning all the time, so I thought you could learn along with me. I’m so excited to see how these little seeds grow and if I can pull it off. Feels nice to be able to actually enjoy our garden this year after years of working away at it! Can’t wait to sort the rest of the lawn when it warms up! My seeds are a mix of @aldiuk, @waitrosepr and @amazonuk and I’ve also made an order with @farmergracy too! #gardenwithme #gardeningnewbie #seedsforapril #sowingseeds #lavateradwarfpinkblush #nasturtiumchameleon #cornflowers #sweetsultan #sunflowers #minigreenhouse #ranunculus #dahliatubers

OOTD: Gingham & Denim I got two compliments on these pants this morning and gosh - you forget how good it makes you feel! They are @nextofficial and only £25. They come in green, a purple mix and also blue too now. The top is @fandfclothing and the denim jacket is @marksandspencerstyle. Shoes are @golaclassics - they have previously gifted me a pair but I bought this during Black Friday myself! Hope you have a lovely day all! #ootd #outfitoftheday #midsizeootd #mumootd #midsizegals #midsizestyle

LET’S MAKE A SWEET PEA TEEPEE (IN A POT)🌷 While I’ve made a sweet pea archway, twice now, I’ve never tried planting them this way before, so I thought I’d give it a go! I’ve done three pots in total, one for our seating area, one by my mini greenhouse and one for the front. I’m so excited to see how they get on! #sweetpeas #sweetpeaflowers #sweetpeapots #sweetpeateepee #gardening #gardenwithme #gardenupdate #charlottevsgarden

A mini haul from @marksandspencerfood that I forgot to post last week! I managed to get my hands on the Dippy Egg Hot Cross Buns for the kids! #minigroceryahul #groceryhaul #marksandspencerfood #mandsfood #newinmandsfood #dippyegghotcrossbuns

Mum’s out-out! Dress is TikTok shop! Confidence is something I’m working on. And I went with cream! Have a lovely Saturday night all! 🥂
