Hello! I feel like it’s been a little while since I last posted… Or maybe it’s just because the past week has been manic! But anyway I just felt like writing a little life update in case anyone is interested!

Feeling Lost When Your Children Start School
I’ve been feeling a bit lost recently – well, since the twiglets started school really. I haven’t been able to put my finger on exactly why. It’s like there’s something niggling at the back of my mind but I can’t quite manage to bring it to the forefront so I can work out what it actually is. The other evening I was feeling this way and suddenly found myself saying to the husband: ‘There’s just no point to me anymore.’ I didn’t even really know what I meant – it just came out.
Having an LVL Lash Lift
If you know me, you may well know that I am not really one for beauty treatments as a rule. I LOVE a massage (though I rarely have them), I get my nails done every so often, but that’s about it. So when a lovely local salon, Nouvelles, got in touch to offer me an LVL lash lift, I felt a bit out of my comfort zone. I mean I’ve never even had my eyebrows done! But it was such a fab opportunity that I jumped at the chance.
Kindness of Strangers: A Little Ramble
Since I became a parent to twins, there have been so many times when the kindness of strangers has quite literally made my day. Just one small act of kindness can have a much bigger impact than you might realise.
First Week of School – A Little Update
Helloooo! So the twiglets’ first week of school is already done and dusted! Mornings only, but they’re moving to full days this week. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster so far! (If you follow me on Instagram, you may already know that!) So I thought I’d just write a little update on how it’s going and how they’re settling in.
Boys With Long Hair
At the moment, H has fairly long hair. I mean, for a boy. Argh already I hate the implication of saying that, but the fact is the majority of boys do have short hair. And his is definitely on the long side. But it reeeally suits him. And yet I am feeling under pressure to have it cut…
Twiglet Top Tips – Marwell Zoo (Ad/Gifted)
Hiii there! Today’s Twiglet Top Tip is the fabulous Marwell Zoo 😊 We were kindly given tickets to visit the zoo and review the Lego Brickosaurs experience which is running until this coming weekend.
Getting Ready For School
Hi there! So at the moment we are balls deep in getting ready for school. The twiglets will be starting Reception in September – just a short few weeks! As they’re my first (and last!) to start school, this is all new to me and I’m learning as I go. But I just thought I’d share some of the things I’m doing and buying in case they might be of use to anyone. I’m sure none of it will be revolutionary and will most likely be stuff you’ve read before and/or are doing anyway. But I’ve been enjoying reading people’s posts about this topic so thought I’d just share our little journey too.
Twiglet Top Tips – Peppa Pig World (Ad – Gifted)
Welcome to the latest post in my Twiglet Top Tips series. Today I’m reviewing Peppa Pig World in Paulton’s Park where we enjoyed a day out last week. I’m going to talk about our experience and hopefully include a few helpful tips if you’re planning a visit there yourself.
Four Year Old Behaviour: The Struggle Is Real
So we’re just into week three of the summer holidays. It’s hard to admit but I have to be honest – I’m struggling a little. Recently I had really been feeling that things were getting easier in terms of parenting. Now I’m not so sure. Dealing with the behaviour of a four year old is no joke. And dealing with the behaviour of two of them at once is, erm, intense to say the least.
