Cough, colds and teething.

I'd first like to start by apologizing for my serious lack of blogging over the last month. The past 2 -3 weeks have been awful in my household. We've all been ill with the flu, chest infections and teething, it's been a complete nightmare. I've had no time for another other then clothes washing and cooking. 

Now we're all 'back to normal' it's time to put my blogging cap back on. I have loads of ideas and I can't wait to get writing them! I have a list of all the posts I want to write for the net few weeks, I'm hoping they will be better written then my posts before (I'm my worst critic when it comes to writing..)

A book of life.

I was talking to my mother about my grandfather (her dad) who died two weeks before my 9th birthday, about wishing I'd asked more questions and learnt more about his life. But as a child, I didn't care.. I didn't think to ask who his first love was, or what was the war like. I was in this bubble where, people didn't die they lived forever as I'd never had someone close to me die. Of course I'd heard about death but not experiencing myself meant I had no clue what it actually meant. It got me thinking, If I died tomorrow, what parts of my life would my children remember? what stories would they hear? There's so much I'd like to share with them, tiny moments that mean the world to me. So I got searching for something that could be used and kept for my children to read when I'm no longer around, something for them to laugh about, cry about and remember me. I found this book on Amazon called "All about me" (£7.99) it seemed perfect so I brought it. This little gem is going to filled with so many things, I'm excited about getting started!
