The baby group is 10! Best start planning the 18th if time’s going to persist in flying by this quickly #happy #birthday #sundayfunday #friends
Got my last week of term ‘things to do’ sorted. Now, if I could just find a war room, a time machine, and President Eisenhower to help me plan this shit, I feel hopeful all is achievable #parenthood #lastdayofschool #helpme #plannercommunity
Highs: check. Lows:check. Tears: check. Hugs: check. Choc ices, melancholy and Air’s Moon Safari on repeat: check. And there we have it - another little chap initiated in the art of supporting England.#sad #proud #parenthood
Can’t face getting closer to the telly #scared #football #comeonengland

Picture taken before the hill of doom! Hot but otherwise So far so good here on the 26 mile @macmillancancer #mightyhike . You can sponsor us over on my Facebook profile. Please do - we’re missing football and everything 😘
Voila. Recipe perfected for tonight’s pudding club (and sampled first by the kids). For the connoisseurs amongst you it comprises shop bought ice cream, shop bought cones, shop bought sprinkles, squirty cream (from a can. Shop bought), and an Oreo thin because why the fuck not.

Clambering over inflatables, chocolate cake, and each other to plunge into Lymington’s Sea Water baths. A most beautifully British way to cool the kids down, chill out with friends, and part-ay #lymington #lido #party #instakids #parenthood
Just me, my coffee, and a boat load of octonauts transitioning from the chaos of the school run to the hecticness of a day at work. Amen for flexible working, Fridays, and the workers’ hot tub* *read ‘bath retrieved from skip’. #friyay #workthatworks #parenthood #outdoorliving (‘Grammed this and thought of you @digitalmums 😘)
