A List of 10 Things That I Just Won’t Do!

momoftwolittlegirls

You get to a certain point in your life when you realise what your limits are. You are comfortable enough in your life, and confident and secure enough to know exactly what you will or will not do, how far you are prepared to go, where the boundaries lie! Here is my list of 10 things that I just won’t do.

You can laugh, you can judge me, you can call me a bad person, but I know myself well enough. I have set my own limits in life.  Here are 10 of those … Continue reading “A List of 10 Things That I Just Won’t Do!” →

An English and American Day Out in Yorkshire

momoftwolittlegirls

Sunday saw us have our first family day out in Yorkshire since returning to the UK after an eight year absence. As the final celebration for my daughter’s 7th birthday, we went to a pre-booked lunch at Billy Bob’s Parlour – an American themed diner nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Pennines. As it was en-route, we decided to combine our day trip with a visit to Bolton Abbey. Today was a weird mix of a British and American culture on a family day out in Yorkshire.

Sunday Family Fun Day

We set off at about 09.00am. Unfortunately due to road works, the main route to Skipton from us was shut and we ended up having to make a detour through the village and farm fields. Despite this taking extra time, I love these kind of detours. Continue reading “An English and American Day Out in Yorkshire” →

June Instagram RoundUp ~ Finally!

momoftwolittlegirls

Well I finally made it. We are officially settled in the UK, and now that I have five minutes to myself, I thought I would start off with June Instagram RoundUp.

My cat arrived safely, the girl’s are loving their school, hubby has work all sorted, I have an awesome car, and house, and my step-daughter moved in with us!

It’s been all systems go! I’ve had to take a little break from regular blog posting because … there are only so many hours in the day!

But, in an attempt to ease myself back in, here are my Top 5 pictures from June 2018: Continue reading “June Instagram RoundUp ~ Finally!” →

Goodbye For Now | Making Moves

momoftwolittlegirls

It’s time to face the facts and say goodbye. After planning our move to the UK for what feels like forever but it’s really only been about four months, I finally feel like things are coming together.

With 11 days until we get on the plane, life is crazy hectic.

I feel like I am neglecting my blog, but the reality is that I just don’t have the time or the energy to sit and write a proper blog post.

A quick update on how the girls are coping

When One Child Needs You More Than The Other

momoftwolittlegirls

I am the proud mom of two little girls. Two amazing little girls who are as individual and unique as you ever did get. Not just in looks but in behaviour and character as well. My eldest daughter is an amazing child. She is clever, good at sports, kind, generous and she feels things very deeply. However, it is very apparent that she is very ‘needy’. Emotionally needy. So what do we do when one child needs you more than the other?

Lately I have found myself confiding in my youngest daughter to please help me when it comes to ‘managing’ my eldest. To put this into perspective, the youngest is 5 in two weeks time, and the eldest is 7 in about a months time. When I do this, I feel so guilty. #momguilt

I shouldn’t have to do that. She’s so little. But the fact is that I need her cooperation in order to actually achieve what is required. Continue reading “When One Child Needs You More Than The Other” →

Kids Profile Test with Tall Trees Training

momoftwolittlegirls

Have you ever considered doing a Kids Profile Test on your child? I hadn’t.

I mean, she’s MY child; no one can possibly know her better than I do, right?

I’m her mom. There’s nothing I don’t know about her.

How can a few questions by a stranger or computer possibly profile MY child better than I can?

Wrong!
