Photo mad wife and mummy of three+1, living the life I was meant to. Live the life you love, love the life you live!

Hooray for Friday!! Today was marginally better in Hooray for Friday!! Today was marginally better in the Mummy Matters home school but certainly not perfect.
.
Two children COULD have been finished by lunch but one of them really made a meal of their work today...it was painful to watch!! 🤦‍♀️
.
Lillie has had a fantastic day and worked her socks off and I had a good chat with her Head of Year which made me feel better about a few things.
.
I am now finally sat at my desk hoping to get caught up on some work so that hopefully I won't still be sitting here past midnight!
.
Wish me luck 🤞

I think this little face sums up how we are all fe I think this little face sums up how we are all feeling today. I have woken with a blinding headache today.
.
Simon is working from home and in charge of homeschooling but it isn't going well since the children do not seem to be very focused.
.
Even working in the office away from it all isn't far enough to not be distracted so I am not sure that anyone is achieving anything of substance.
.
This afternoon I am popping out to say farewell and pay my respect to one of my Mum's best friends who passed away just before New Year. It's a tough one as I would like to be there to support my Mum who I know is finding it hard but due to Rona numbers are limited so she has to go alone (I am simply going to stand outside the family home to wave her off ♥ 🕊).
.
How is your day going today?

My 'baby' is definitely not a baby anymore. Next w My 'baby' is definitely not a baby anymore. Next weekend he turns 8 and he really does feel like he is growing up fast.
.
Because of his health problems growing up it has felt like he has been a younger for longer or perhaps its just because he is the youngest?!
.
Last week we were finally able to stop the medication he has been on since he was 18 months old, it felt like a huge milestone for us and he jumped for joy when he was told too. Fingers crossed we can now put that stressful part of our lives behind us at last.
.
This morning he had a wellbeing zoom session with his class. He made me laugh when he marched into my bedroom dressed in his tshirt and denim jacket with the collar turned up. He said "I thought I would make an effort for my zoom so I have dressed 'cool' ♥"
.
I'm not sure I am ready for all my babies to grow up yet!! 😭

#ad-gifted . It's been a STEM learning kind of aft #ad-gifted
.
It's been a STEM learning kind of afternoon. Don't worry, we haven't been mean parents making the children homeschool on the weekend.
.
The boys were sent the telescope from @byokits so they spent the afternoon with Dad building it and loved it.
.
They had fun looking through it during daylight but were most excited to try it to see the moon tonight... so of course it's cloudy tonight and they couldn't see a thing.
.
Nevermind, we will try again every night at bedtime until we get to see it ❤️
.
They had so much fun building the telescope with Dad. The kit comes pre-cut in thick and thin card so it is lightweight and eco-friendly. It has two lenses and a mirror offering 16x magnification. I will tell you moee about it on the blog very soon. 
.
At the opposite end of the kitchen Lillie was busy making slime, she has had mixed results with her slime in the past but today it was complete success which meant Lillie was very happy indeed.
.
How was your Sunday?

More walking by the river today, there is so much More walking by the river today, there is so much water the levels were high which meant the locks were flowing fast and loud!!
.
The boys were worried the swans were going to get swept down at the locks but they just smugly glided up and then swam away like it was nothing. Don't you just wish sometimes you could hold your head high like a swan does? 😂
.
Albie was very excited to see one of his teachers out walking today, he was keen to tell her to "go and see the River it's SO cool" 🤣🤣
.
Not much else to report on today, its been a quiet day of rest and relaxation all round. The Beans have all been busy doing art so the house has felt very peaceful indeed 🙏
.
Happy Saturday everyone ♥

Lillie - this is the little beauty who made me a M Lillie - this is the little beauty who made me a Mummy way back in 2008.  It's hard to believe that she turns 13 this year, I'm not sure I'm ready for a teenage daughter!! 
.
Today on the blog I have turned back the clock and am talking about about the essentials you need to consider when you have or are expecting a newborn. Despite the nearly 13 years I still remember it all like it was yesterday and love nothing better than to scroll through the thousands of photos we have taken over the years.
.
I have friends who are expecting babies at the moment (I also have a gorgeous new nephew who I am still yet to meet thanks to Covid) and I would be lying if I said that it doesn't still make me broody.  I love newborn cuddles and the toddler years but if I am honest, I love all the years because they all bring something new.
.
If you're expecting or know someone who is then pop over and check the post out, it might just give you a pearl of wisdom that you hadn't already considered.
