Is it okay to just take some chill out time?

I never thought I would post a picture of my messy spare room for the world to see!! This post is once again the product of an over heard conversation at nursery.

How come when dropping little one off at nursery it automatically becomes time to quickly run around the house doing jobs? Im sat on my bum drinking a can of coke, watching building the dream and surveying the house!

1. Washing needs folding.

2. High gloss kitchen could do with a polish.

3. Toddlers trains have taken over every surface.

4. Need to ring someone to come collect the trees other half cut down two days ago.

5. Vicky go buy an iron and tackle the three loads of washing that is sitting everywhere.

But this half an hour to just chill has done wonders for my mental health and general mood. I've stopped stressing about what people think it will get done but don't drive yourselves mad mums.

Love

Vicky

P.s. Im off to buy an iron after melting plastic to ours

The forbidden corner - North Yorkshire

Hi Guys We recently spent a weekend at our friends in North Yorkshire so I thought I would write a little review of The Forbidden Corner . Photocredit Firstly I will start out with a simple statement BOOK EARLY . When we were looking for things to do we talked about the forbidden corner and looked at the availability. At the time of looking all times were available however 5 days before we travelled down (when we booked I know, I know disorganised) the only morning slot available was 10am on the Sunday (i.e opening time). This was great for us as we were staying relatively local and have a young child so getting up at 6am was well normal. Don't think our friends though the same...sorry guys. So we headed off the attraction is accessed through a number of sleepy villages and winding rural roads, we even passed a set of race horse returning from a mornings run. This was great for us as we live relatively rural and Zach loves to watch animals however for all you city dwelle...

Easy gooey cookies: Baking with kids

Soft gooey cookies are a favourite in our house, however not only are they relatively expensive for what they are, the gooeyness just don't last once you bring them home. This simple recipe is a favourite in our house. Usually I encourage Zach to help pre-measure the ingredients into small bowls before mixing them to form the cookie dough. Ingredients 125g of butter 125g of caster sugar (regular table suger will do) 100g of brown sugar 1 beaten egg 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional) 225g of self-raising flour 200g of chocolate chips (a mixture of milk and white works best) Salt to taste (optional) 1. Measure all the ingredients and preheat the oven to 180 degrees. 2. Cream the butter and both sugars, it is easier for little hands if you partial cream with a electric mixer before allowing little hands to finish the process with their hands. 3. Add egg and vanilla. 4. Sift in the flour....

A sunny day at the beach

When the British Sun decides to make an appearance you have to make the most of it. We headed to South Shields yesterday for a fun filled family day relaxing by the sea. After handing over an astronomical amount of money for a bucket and spade we spent a lovely morning building sand castles, splashing in the sea and wandering along the pier. Before long we headed to the North East institution that is Colmans for a spot of middle class fish and chips. Sorry this post is so short I really just wanted to share the photos of our day with anyone reading this. Love Vicky x
