Expectations…

October 7, 2018 / mumatronatwork / 3 Comments

As many of you know I stammer, as does my partner and three of our kids. This is not headline news, but the fact that it still seems to be ok for people to laugh or imitate us is. Just this week I attended a medical appointment and as I stammered on my date of … Continue reading Expectations…

Reality Strikes…

August 17, 2018 / mumatronatwork / Leave a comment

This time last year I was in Bulgaria. Facebook Moments has told me so. Today I am working from home after a rubbish nights sleep as my 3 year old woke up at 4.30am hearing the wind and rain and my other half snores like a freight train and gets up at 5.30am for an … Continue reading Reality Strikes…

Brothers

April 5, 2018April 5, 2018 / mumatronatwork / Leave a comment

  Bringing up two boys of my own and spending time with my partner's two boys is a lovely way to see the brotherly bonds that kick in and grow, if connected by blood or not. When I fell pregnant with Kieran, Adam was 15 and completely horrified. It was awful, he simply did not … Continue reading Brothers

Are We There Yet?

October 5, 2017 / mumatronatwork / Leave a comment

This week, my three year old has had to stay home as he had managed to get a particularly bad dose of Hand Foot and Mouth Disease. It started at the end of last week so over the weekend the worst of it presented. He was quite poorly on Monday this week so obviously it … Continue reading Are We There Yet?

Hitting Where It Hurts….

October 4, 2017October 4, 2017 / mumatronatwork / 1 Comment

I was never a 'Sports Mum', one of those ones that had to get up at 7am on a Saturday to stand by the football pitch or rugby field in minus five to watch my little cherub play for his school team or local town. My boy was an outdoors kid, loved our weekend camping … Continue reading Hitting Where It Hurts….

Finding Gold.

April 28, 2017April 26, 2017 / mumatronatwork / Leave a comment

When you are about to return to work after having a baby the search for childcare can be one of the most daunting experiences. Do you go nursery or childminder? Do you try somewhere close to home or work? Do you get a minder to look after your little one in your own home or … Continue reading Finding Gold.

Who Do We Think We Are??

March 21, 2017 / mumatronatwork / Leave a comment

  Tonight I 'spoke' online to a young girl who was going to court to object to her child being adopted. Her child was taken from her for a variety of reasons, none of which to me seem justified, especially when I look not too far from my own door. Social Services swooped in and have decided. … Continue reading Who Do We Think We Are??

The Darker Side of Diagnosis.

March 6, 2017March 6, 2017 / mumatronatwork / 1 Comment

  About two years ago my partners son B, was almost diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. I say almost, his assessment was finally concluded as ‘undecided’ due to two very different accounts by his parents. Recommendation was that if either parent felt the need to have him reassessed it would be prudent to wait until he … Continue reading The Darker Side of Diagnosis.

Other People’s Kids.

March 1, 2017March 6, 2017 / mumatronatwork / 1 Comment

Becoming a step parent is probably one of the most difficult experiences you can have. When I first moved to England I lived with my partner Pete. He has his two kids every other weekend and on a Tuesday night. Due to his work I had started to do school pickups and drop offs and … Continue reading Other People’s Kids.

Done Too Soon

January 30, 2017January 30, 2017 / mumatronatwork / 1 Comment

As it approaches Valentines Day.... This will be my dad's first anniversary since he passed away. Anyone in our family who has passed away tended to do it over the Christmas period. Not Grumpy Jimmy, he was not going to be in that wee squad. He was going it alone, and just in case we … Continue reading Done Too Soon

Packing to move and sorting through my ‘running gear box’ and found lots of my 10km medals ❤️
You know when the house move thing gets real when the fridge magnets have to come down....
Mummy’s day for the school run so we went for a walk while the sun was shining ❤️ lovely time to catch up on his chatter, sometimes it’s just the right time to take 30 mins out of the day just to wander down the canal #spring #daffs #mummyduties #schoolrun #middlewich #mumlife
This week I have really started to proactively ‘sort my shit out’ - got my #Garmin sorted with a few training programmes and have got a great one to get me back to 5km in 30 mins. Alongside this I have cooked seriously healthy good food (credits to @thebodycoach and my new friend, the digital scales) and although my quads and glutes are aching as I type I feel sooo much better. I did say once the kids go back to school I would get back to it. So now it’s off shopping with my trusty list and to start week 2 and to start the big ‘pack the house up into boxes’ to get set for our new adventures moving to our forever home 🏠 Super excited to have finally bought our place in #Middlewich #saturdaymotivation #newbeginnings #marchmadness #moving #feelgood
These bad boys made an appearance again today - got myself a training programme on my #garmin so determined to get back on it and in shape #mondaymotivation
I have actually won something!! A few weeks ago I had an email to say I had won a voucher prize on the #postcodelottery and to go to the website to choose a prize so to go with my house moving goings-on I chose the @mrshinchhome book and journal! #feelgoodfriday
