Pre Christmas Holiday Fun

It's become a bit of a tradition in our household to take a break the week before Christmas just for us to get away and have some fun, it also coincides with the husbands birthday so he also gets a chance to celebrate his birthday and not get his birthday intermingled with the Christmas celebrations.

2006 we went on a boat trip to France, the less said about this the better!, 2007 we had just returned from our honeymoon, 2008 I think is the only year we didn't do anything, 2009 was spent travelling round Thailand, 2010 saw us take a break to Center Parcs at Sherwood accompanied with our newborn baby and this year we decided to go to Center Parcs again but en masse with my family in tow.

We had great fun and I'm hoping that we continue the tradition next year especially as our little girl will then be 2 and will actually be old enough to participate in activities!

Whatever your traditions are in the run up to Christmas I hope you have fun!

Till next time

To resolve or not?!

So it's fast approaching that time when many will delude themselves that a new year means a new start. I personally don't buy into that principle and believe that if you want to change/do/start/end etc something then there's no time like the present. I find that if you put things off till a certain time you are more likely to fail at your goals as you've lost initial enthusiasm and day to day life has got in the way.

As a result of my views I don't make resolutions as I know I won't stick to them and to be frank who wants to feel like a failure?!

Do you make resolutions and stick to them or are you like me?

Till next time

3rd Time Lucky?!

It's been a long time coming but I thought I may aswell resurrect my blog (again, for the 3rd time!) with a quick update on my life.

It's been a turbulent 2 years since I last blogged, I've become a full time stay at home mummy and left the comforts of my home town to move to rural Shropshire. A decision I am finding hard to come to terms with.

I've made new friends and said goodbye to those that, for various reasons, I felt were better off out of my life.

I've had my highs and my lows, found new interests, become more passionate about those hobbies I already had and became a stronger more confident person as a result.

I still have my nuances which will probably become clear through subsequent posts but it's all part and parcel of my life experiences

Till next time, much love
