Sad news...god are you there?!

Well this morning i have received some sad news.
My partners Nan got rushed to hospital last night and has had a stoke.
 She can not walk.
 They are still running tests. 
That's all i know really.
I am very concerned, i love his nan to pieces and from day one she accepted me into the family and made me feel so welcome, she is brilliant! 
She is a fighter, the day i gave birth to my second daughter she had brain surgery to remove a brain tumour..for the 3rd time! 
She even made the nurses wheel her to my ward to meet her great grand daughter! How amazing is that really! 
She has epilepsy, and half the time she has no idea what she is saying but she thinks its hilarious and mocks herself!  
A couple of months ago she was playing 'don't let the balloon hit the floor' with my girls, and she was diving all over the place roaring with laughter :)
 All this while on Chemo battling brain cancer for the 4th time......
I really love her and so does my partner obviously he is upset, our girls think she is just the bee's knee's! 
She has so much left to give, and she so wants to give it so please...if there is a god out there....please just fix her, give her a break now and let her live the rest of her life, happy and healthy and with her family.
 Let her be pain free, and let her home for Christmas.
Please x x x 

7 Day Cleaning Rota....Keep on top of that housework!

Hi again, 
Today i am going to let you in on my secret of organised home...mostly clean and tidy too (if you tell me your coming lol!)

I am always, like a lot of woman writing and re-writing lists of various things, because lets face it if we didn't nothing would get done... like we can depend on these 'men' or something!

My partner works a 8-6 job so the housework falls back onto me which i fine as weirdly most of the time (i said most!) i enjoy keeping it nice.

This starts with our home keeping folder. (i will post more about this at some point).
It is still very new and so i am adding to it all the time. 
But its where we can all go to see what needs doing that day, bills, appointments, activities, cakes sales etc. 

Its like one huge pin board in one folder. But what i want to talk about today is my cleaning schedule. 
I find using this free's up a lot more time so i can spend many more hours with my little girls which is my main aim. 

So to get you started grab a pen and paper and list monday through to sunday. 
On the back of your paper make lists of daily, fortnightly, monthly, yearly. And list things in their right columns. 
So for example washing up is daily. cleaning the windows monthly..paying the car tax yearly see where im going with this?
Then get on the lappy and make a real pretty chart :) 

You will forget things as well so leave space as we as woman always have something to do!

Try and fit some extra things in so for example every friday i 'wash something big' like sofa throws, rugs, curtains :) 

Mondays i do all my paper work side of life...which seems to be a lot recently!

Trust me this works its clear to see what you need to do it keeps things clean and tidy and on top off so there fore free's up alot of your time :)

Good luck and let me know :) 

Follow me for more on this soon x 

Diet Failure....i am always going to be 'Plus sized!'

What the hell happened you might ask?

Well the simple answer is i have no flaming clue. 
I have no idea how it started but even tonight i can not stop eating, i'm on a serious binge and i can not seem to stop, no matter who says to or gives me a reason to :(

I am just going to start in the new year....what else can i say i failed yet again. 

Just call me Bridget!!!! 

mmmm Snickers lol!

a simple tummy bug when your diabetic!

If you follow my blog by now your know my 4 year old daughter 'O' is a type 1 diabetic. 
She has been diagnosed for 2 years now!
Well this morning she woke up with higher blood sugars then normal, so i knew something was happening. 
She had an upset tummy straight away and i checked her blood for key tones. 
Having key tones in your blood is dangerous and you can get very ill very quickly and O did! 
She was running a very high temp and her blood sugar levels were rising fast. 
I knew i had to get insulin in her fast and she needed to drink. 
Not the easiest thing to do when all she wanted to do was sleep.
If O was not diabetic i could of gave Calpol, offered her a drink and put her back to bed. 

Instead i had two drinks, and i had to measure how much she drank, and what time she used the bathroom. I had to test her blood every hour, work out how much insulin she needed, constantly carry her to the loo as she was very weak. 

Key tones makes you feel like rubbish, they make you vomit and dizzy, she also had a headache. I was constantly keeping check of what medicine she had and getting it into her as quick as possible. 

All while on the phone to her nurses, waiting in for 5 different deliveries. And looking after my other 2 girls! 

she has had 20 blood tests today. She is my brave little monkey! We are still fighting those nasty key tones, but i am determined to get my girl well and feeling a lot better tomorrow. 

After all that's all i can do. Don't get me wrong i have had a really good long cry today, i have felt tired, frustrated, useless. 

Hurry up cure, my girly and me need a break! 

Home made Christmas gift tags that cost NOTHING!

So me and 'O' got busy making our very own gift tags for Christmas. 
I wanted it to be cheap (or free) and simple so little 'O' could actually do them herself mainly. 
We had loads of fun actually and it was a easy way to just sit and have a good chat. 
We also focused on shapes. 

All it took was some shiny card,some funky scissors, a hole punch and some Christmas ribbon. 
I will be making some posher ones myself too at some point,but for the kids they love them! 
Get crafty have some fun :)

Weigh in week 4...!!!

Arghhhh today i woke up scared! 
As soon as i opened my eyes i felt bloated and i knew the dreaded monthly's are due any day now and i just know this makes me a lot heavier.

I was really scared to step on the scales today, i am very nervous that if i get a gain it will make me give up and think whats the point! But i was pleastantly surprised! 

2.5lbs off :)

So that is 10.5lbs in 4 weeks...i think thats quite healthy way to do it :) I am going to push myself hard to get to 14 lb loss before december though! 

14LB(1 STONE) was my target for christmas so i am doing good i think :) just need to keep saying no.

Also has anybody noticed as soon as you go on a diet and it gets public everybody seems to offer you junk and tasty little treats... my mother in law keeps baking for me! 

I take them but leave the blokey and the kids to fight it out....i think she has a secret ploy to stop me getting gorgeous lol! 

How is everyone else getting along?

Christmas shaving foam?! Yes please!

Today was the day...i woke up looked out the windows and it felt.....like christmas! 

Now don't get me wrong i'm not rushing into the attic to get the tree down or anything...it's not even December yet after all.

But i do love Christmas and everything that comes with it, all the little crafts and memory's to be made. 

So today me and my two youngest. aged 4 and 15 months decided on Christmas shaving foam play...

How cool does this look! 

All it is is shaving foam, and paint! Cheap and awesome! Both girls had so much fun...First we used a paintbrush and swished it around a bit, it made a marbled effect so we pressed paper on top of it and they came out great!
 I am going to cut them into stocking shapes and put them on the girls display wall :)

Once we were done i thought they could have a little play...well they started well...

We talked about colours, textures, Christmas. 
Then the baby had to go to far lol! 

Nothing a bath didn't fix! 

Week 3 Weigh In.....

Well this week by tuesday i was bored of my nutty cereal and pouring yogurt twice a day so a new approach was needed. 
I decided i would just eat what i wanted to see if i could cope mentally.
And i think i did very well.
 I felt in control for the first time. 
This is now the longest i have ever been on a diet without crying or giving up. 
Its the first time i have not had a treat day and told myself thats ok....for some it might be but for me at my size it is not. 

On to the nitty gritty. 

This week i lost 2lb. 
I am chuffed again with this its coming off nice and slowly. 
I will never ever see those 2lbs again( even if i check down the sofa)
Family members are starting to tell me i look slimmer. 
And i had to wear a belt!!! Yes a belt..i think it was the first time..ever. 

I measured myself at the start and even though its been a measly 3 weeks and i have about 3 years to go lol i have lost 3 inches off my waist, 3 inches of my hips and my chest has gone from a 44HH to a 42FF...

8lbs in total does not sound that big a deal but its doing me the world of good! 6lb to go for christmas target! 

Weigh in: week 2....

Well the last week i have worked my butt off!
I have even braved a 30 min exercise video....twice!
I have 'played' just dance on the wii with my little sister which in my honest opinion the game should change its name to if you want a heart attack... ARGH! 

I have resisted everything thrown at me cream cakes, fried breakfasts and i have plodded through eating my two bowls of cereal  day and a norml main cooked dinner but a smaller portion...

Just weighed in 4lbs off! Quite chuffed with that and it has boosted my confindence, just 1 more measly lb and then i will hit my half a stone mark which is halfway to my goal...

I'm going to need many goals to shift all this weight but baby steps to begin with to keep me focused. 
I am feeling much healthier already and my trousers are all feeling a bit baggy so hopefully it wont be to long until i drop this awful sized dress size. 

Thanks for the support x 

Confessions of 'The Perfect Mother!'....

A few times now i have been blessed with this title of the 'perfect mum.' These are some reasons i have been given. 

-I do so much with my kids. 

- My girls are all so easy and well behaved. 

-My kids are always dressed well and my house is always clean

- I seem to always know what to do, in every situation.

Here are my thoughts...

Since when did any of the above make a good parent? 
There are much more important things right?
What difference does it make if my children wore rags and were banned from play dough..this would not make me a bad parent surely? 
Whats with all the pressure?

When i got pregnant with my first child, my grandmother said to me, Children need love, Guidance, and stability. 
And now i have three girls i have to agree with her. (to a point) 

Here are my confessions..on this title that i do not deserve. 

- Most days i can't wait for bedtime! 
-I go to bed most nights, thinking how i could of done better. 
-I do loads of arty,messy,sensory play because it keeps my children quiet for hours..literally.
-I have very little patience, and although i never smack, or belittle i am very strict. 
-My kids still backchat, and beat each other up at times!
-I dress my kids well but 99% of the time i look a state!
-I look at other parents most days and think wow i wish i knew what i was doing like they do! 

More then half of the time, i probably guess at this parenting thing! 
The thing is i'm just very normal, I bust my ass doing house work and have a very tight cleaning schedule. 
I'm a very organised person, which i will blog about very soon. 

Who know's what makes a good parent? 
Is there such a thing?
Because some days i think we just have to do the best we can and hope they listen and turn out ok! 

Opinions?  

Baby 'C' her ongoing healthy issues...and progress..

20 weeks ago my baby girl was 10 months old. She was born a healthy weight of 8lb13.5ounces. 
Her birth was amazing...could not ask for any better. Perfect pregnancy. 

When she was 5 months old i started to thinks she was not hitting milestones like her sisters did but i tried my best not to compare. 
At 7 months she just started to roll and sit by herself and i thought i had better get her checked. The health visitor told me she was fine and carry on as i was.
She was exclusively breastfed. 
She slept a lot, and was not really interested in much and it didn't take long for me to take more action. 
One day after she had a 4 hour nap, i woke her myself and she felt really clammy and hot she was shaking and she felt much lighter! 
Please go back through my blogs to see how my other daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes...very similar. 
I ran downstairs and got her older sisters blood glucose monitor and i tested my baby's blood. 
She was 'hypo' she did not have enough sugar in her blood.
 I rushed her to hospital and they weighed her... she was 12lb..at 10 months old she had only gained 4lbs. 
She was admitted and tests were done, she was diagnosed with a very fast metabolism and she now has to eat every 2 hours. This is C at 10 months old. 

Looking back now she looked ill, i can see her neck is to thin and her arms have no fat on them..she was in size 0-3 clothes. 

Here is C now... she is 14 months old... and last month she was 20lb9!!! She is fitting 12-18 clothes! 

At 12 months old i made the heartbreaking choice to stop breastfeeding..

This is a picture of her last ever breastfeed...She is on formula now/still as it was so good for her weight gain i am terrified of taking her off it. 
She is crawling and cruising around the furniture and last week she took 2 steps! 
She has been in hospital again, and ongoing tests seem to be indicating that her body does not make the sugar it is supposed to and she still suffers with low blood sugars even though she is not diabetic. 

C has to have a high sugar diet.
O has to have a diet with no added sugar.

My foods bill has gone through the roof! 
But as long as my girls keep thriving that is all that matters to me. 
Has anybody else been through this?

Healthy, Affordable, and Quick lunch box idea's that make your children Independent!

I am a busy mum of 3 little ones and where possible i try to encourage my girls to be independent. Firstly it is good for them to be their own person and to make their own decisions. 
Plus it saves me time, if they can do some things for themselves. 
One way that we do this is the girls pack their own lunch box's. 
They also help themselves to morning and afternoon snacks (if they are home).
Heres how:

Firstly i make a healthy fridge snack box it looks a bit like this.

I use plastic shot glasses to put cream cheese dips or hummus in. 
I then bag up sticks of carrots,celery,peppers, cucumber etc. 
There are always yogurts, cheese,and bagels already cut and buttered. 
I also fill little bottles with milk. 

We also have a cupboard snack box, with raisons, cereal bars, nuts, crackers, biscuits. 
Everything is in individual portions (and weighed so my diabetic daughter can help herself, and give me piece of mind).

So In the morning, my girls grab their lunch box's from their own little cupboards, they are in the habit now, so they grab a bagel, and then they choose 3 healthy snacks and 2 things from the cupboard. They also choose a drink....lunch box done. 

They are cheap, healthy, and none ever goes to waste as they love the novelty. 
I just restock it every couple of days when they are at school and the baby is napping. 
Also, i find this really helpful for when i need to pop out, i just grab something out all ready and packed and chuck it in the baby's bag. saves buying snacks while out which soon adds up in cost!

I hope this helps someone out, as our mornings are much calmer now. :)

Week 1 weigh in:

Well as soon as i opened my eyes this morning i was filled with dread i knew it was weigh day! Urgh.
I showered and got dressed and power walked the school run just to loose an extra little bit ...like ya do! 
Anyhow i braved it and weighed in and i have lost 2lbs. 
I am ok with that... its week one and i should of lost more but its a start and i'm going to push myself a bit harder this week :)
Thank you to anyone that reads my blogs id love some comments and to hear your weight loss stories as its hard work! 
Heres to next week! 
Ps: i'm hungry!

Feel better soon/PS thanks diabetes...

The thing about Type 1 Diabetes is...just when you think you have good control...just when your hitting some perfect stable sugars..diabetes jumps up from behind its wet moggy rock and shouts 'GOT YA!'

It's like a cruel game that you can never win, it taunts you for a while and teases and just when you start to relax BOOM! 
That is it you have lost the control and you have to start from scratch all over again...and again and again. 

This is our life every day. 
Don't get me wrong i try not to dwell on the fact little O has diabetes, we try to live as normal life as possible and treat her just the same and i think were pretty good at it. 
I'm also fully aware there are worse things and someone is always worse of. 
But after the last few days all i care about right now is my little girl and i. 

Yesterday was obviously the dreaded  lovely Halloween, now my girls do not have sweets often at all and have a very healthy diet, but being normal means trick or treating...so off we went...
Afterwards they both chose 2 sweets each (am i mean?!) i guessed the amount of insulin O needed to match the sugary junk...i was horribly wrong! 

I checked her blood glucose at 9pm and found it to be 13.4 (normal should be between 4-8. But was quite impressed with this, gave her a little extra insulin and carried on with my evening. 

At 11pm O came downstairs asking for a drink, i checked her blood again 25.9!
Straight away i injected her with a good boost of insulin while i changed her canula needle and all the pipelines to go with it, i even added some fresh insulin from the fridge. 
In the meantime O was drinking cups and cups of water and using the toilet to flush the sugar out of her body.
At 1am she was 19.5 so i lifted her up to bed she slept soundly from then, but i was up every 2 hours to check her bloods and take her for a wee. 

I barely slept and when i did i had the worst nightmare which has really shook me up it felt so real!
But soon the alarm was ringing and it was school run time.
O cried the whole walk because she was so tired, we got back she would not sleep but she was not really wanting to play she just laid...staring.
Today her sugars have all been low, so i have been getting her to drink lucozade and munch glucose tablets.
 I have probably tested her finger about 20 times so far. 

Her skin has flared up and her joints are sore, she is complaining of a headache and is really grumpy...so thanks Halloween and thanks even more Diabetes....those 2 sweets were so not worth it...but try telling that to a 4 year old. 

How do men work?

It seems to me that men spend the little time they have spare where they are not thinking about food or sex (in that order?) trying to figure out what woman want....

But how often do us woman take five minutes out of our busy life's to think about what the men in our life's want really?

Here are my thoughts....

I think men want a lot of the same things as us, they want to feel loved and they need to feel wanted and god knows they need to be told we appreciate them. 

I think men want and need cuddles. 

BUT...do men like romance? Hotel stays candle lit dinners or are they just thinking of what comes afterwards? 

I like to think i cover the basics and i always try and make an effort, and i love 'looking after him' do men want or need looking after? 

I lovingly make his lunch for work and add notes sometimes, i always buy his fave things to pack. And i always have his uniform ready for him. 
I cook him nice meals, i book us 'dates' and i always have open arms when he wants or needs a cuddle. 

But i have been thinking lately that now the kids are a little older and i feel comfortable leaving them for a bit, of booking a night away just me and him...but i cant ask him or it wouldn't be a surprise.

So what do men really want? 

the 8 week calorie countdown!

Well today on numerous occasions i have been reminded that we are starting the dreaded 8 week countdown to Christmas. 

That is only 3 paydays people! 

It also means that like every year for the past 5 years i have panicked and thought what am i going to wear! 

It is the day where all our family come together and everybody always looks so nice...and then there is me, in yet another frumpy long top with leggings and curly hair.

So i get looking online, like you do and type in the depressing 'plus size clothing' and actually to my amazement  i find some really nice things and they have it in my size....i just do not have the confidence to wear them. 

But logically thinking 8 weeks is not that close and if i really wanted to wear the 'too die for dress' i could probably loose a decent amount of weight to get a bit of confidence at least, so that is the plan! 

Usually us girls wait until the 1st day of the new year to roll around...why wait let's be honest with our self's....why not get an 8 week head start? 

So starting right now i will eat less, eat better and exercise a lot more. 

I am setting myself a little goal of 1 stone before Christmas that's 14 measly pounds...(imagine how easy it is to spend £14) 

Its time 'mummy' does something for herself and stops letting herself go as that is not the person i wanted to be! 

Who's joining me? x 

Let's get messy!

Me and my girls just love to get messy, And i think it has great benefits to!
I think a lot of parents would love to get messy and creative but worry mostly about the aftermath of destruction.
 Us as parents seem to spend our life running around trying to keep the kids entertained while keeping the house clean and a cooked meal on the table...but sometimes we just have to take a step back....

As our children celebrate yet another birthday, its another year where we go to bed feeling guilty that we did not get around to doing what we wanted with our child that day as the hoovering needed doing or the laundry needed ironing..am i right? 
So instead of going to bed with regrets yet again just change the routine now....as time really does run out and soon your children wont want to play with paint or jump in muddy puddles that time will be gone before we know it.

I try everyday to get creative one way or another and my all time fave things to do involve sensory play, using there senses in different ways, talking about them, learning about them, at the same time as having fun cant be a bad thing huh. 

So today i will tell you all about our sensory baths...

 This is my little girl at 12 months old, i dyed her bath water orange(it was much brighter in real life and dint look like pee lol) using just a few drops of food colouring. 
This does not stain the child, the bath or leave any stickyness :)
I then added plastic shot glasses and straws and she loved it!!! 
We learn't about pouring, blowing through the straw, the colour orange, drinking bath water lol she had a good time. 

Every night i make bath time a fun play and a time to learn and they don't even know they are learning. 
The possibilities are endless have some fun with it! 

Try a purple bath with some lavender oil for extra sensory play and add some purple objects. 

I would love to see some pics of how creative you can get with this :)

Life with a Diabetic...child.....

Hi there... Well this could be a long story so put the kettle on and ill jump right in! 

My little O has type 1 diabetes. This is the type of diabetes that makes people need insulin. 
She was diagnosed eventually at 25 months old. 
She has just turned 4 and we are coming up to her 2 year anniversary which leads to a very emotional Jodie hence the need to blog tonight. 

When O was about 17 months old i started to become a bit concerned by the amount she drank, i did not really pay it much attention until i was literally changing her nappy every hour to save it leaking. I took her to the doctors to be told it was normal and to make sure she was eating enough and not filling up on water... i asked for her to be tested for diabetes for the doctor to tell me under 4's cant have diabetes. 

Months past and we celebrated her 2nd birthday, all was well but she was not eating as well as she had in the past and was napping more again i rang for help and they said her two year growth spurt. 
One day i woke up and went in to wake her and her older sister up for breakfast and she did not want to get out of bed, she just cried and told me she was tired so i left her to it. an hour later i brought her down and she drank and drank and drank she would not eat anything..she had not used the toilet so my mother in law said to give her brown sugar in water to drink and she was downing two litre bottles at a time, she would not move of the sofa, no matter what i bribed her with, she showed no interest in anything! By now i was seriously concerned and took her to the doctors again...they told me she had a mental breakdown because her older sister had started school and she was depressed! This ripped my heart out! 

The next morning, as i tried to get her out of bed she told me she did not love me anymore and all she wanted was to go to sleep....i rang my mother in law to collect my older daughter and spent the morning laid in my own bed crying. I snapped myself out of it eventually carried her downstairs but she screamed....and screamed and screamed for hours...she had not slept in nearly 24 hours..she had screamed the whole time...i rushed her to a+e they sent us home with antibiotics for an ear and throat infection. again i asked for THE test to be refused they also said she did not have thrush and that it was nappy rash. 

The next morning after she still had not slept she became very lathargic i could not decide whether she was sleeping or passing out, so i rang my mum to collect us so i could take her back to the doctors...i started to undress her and she was bones...overnight all of her bones were visible and she was never a thin girl......upstairs a toy ambulance was going off for the whole morning(weird much?!) i rushed her to the doctor sat in a chair with her and flatly refused to move until they tested her for diabetes all they had to do was dip her urine! so they did.....5 minutes later we were in an ambulance being blue lighted to hospital with O in my arms...in a coma! 

She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within minutes and hooked up to insulin, heart moniters and everything else scary they had she was in HDU. 

Normal blood sugar levels are between 4-8 O's were 39.9...her blood had started to turn into acid burning her organs....

My baby nearly died because the doctors would not do a simple test! 

To say i still get emotional about this is an understatement..i have never and doubt i will ever trust a doctor ever again. 

O is now on pump therapy which i will talk about more in a future blog... but she is very well. 
She is doing as well as can be expected and having diabetes does not stop her doing anything!
 She is a very happy, cheeky, cuddly little girl who loves being diabetic...most of the time, I am glad she is at an age where she knows no different for now.  Here is my brave girl. 

Getting to know me and mine.

I thought i should introduce my little family :)

 

Here they are....i love them all so much! 

FMP....First morning pee...

Yep! That's right i'm going there.....

So your sleeping in bed enjoying that exciting dream and it strikes....CRAMP!
 Right in the calf....
You sit bolt upright and you throw yourself onto your hands and knee's, Then onto your back clutching your leg writhing in agony your eyes shut tight...because  we all know its worse then giving birth at this point!
 Finally the pain starts to ease off and you let go of your leg and take a few deep breaths you survived.
Your just drifting back off and then...your alarm screeches through the silence, you make a dive for it, Your only mission at this point is to shut it up as quickly as possible so it does not wake the baby!
 In your heroic dive you tonk your elbow of the bedside table and curse under your breath!
 You find the blasted thing at last just within your grasp but somehow the gadget thing has hidden inside of your pillow case... erm how?! 
Still screaming at you you throw your hand into the unknown and finally turn it off, You collapse from all the drama fall silent and listen out for the baby...silence. 
Crawling out of bed you do a little victory dance avoiding the creaky floorboards and generally being stealth, You reach the bathroom sit down...sigh a breath of relief and let the magical moment happen. 
Cherishing the moment you start planning your day, This will be the first and last time you get to pee in peace today!
You decide on a shower now rather then waiting for nap time later so you stand and resume your stealthy creep across the landing to the towel shelf, Reaching your destination you gently creak the door open and reach inside. 
All of  sudden your alarm screams at you louder then last time and so you suddenly make a run for it but to late the baby begins to wail, The older girls wake up to the sound of your heart breaking, Your dreams shattering. 
You hear fast and furious foot steps as the kids begin their first fight of the day..who gets to use the toilet first?
The baby is smacking her head against the bars of the cot and shouting mama...you silently curse yourself for making the rookie error of  hitting snooze!
The dog begins to bark at her excitement of having her first morning pee and THAT is how my day began.....is it Friday yet?!

Well, where to begin! 

I am Jodie i'm 25 years old (just!) and me and my partner have 3 gorgeous daughters. 

S is 5 years old, she is a very bright little girl, she is eager to please, and just so funny! She is a big softy and  an emotional girl she is my superstar! 

O is 4 years old, she is very reserved until she knows somebody well. She is a huge girly girl yet very stubborn and strong willed...this girly will always get her way one way or another! She has type 1 diabetes, she is my brave little cheeker! 

C is 14 months old right now, somewhere in between her sisters, she is a snugly little one, but likes to get her own way! She has a super fast metabolism and requires a constant sugary diet to keep her happy and healthy!

We also have a 10 month old working cocker spaniel puppy, who i began training to alert us to olivia's diabetes alerts. but due to recent family life the training is on hold to a point. but this will be taken up again. 

Not forgetting the kitten Maisie she is brand new into this crazy mix i call my life :)

I am a stay at home to my girls, and i love it! 

I hope to blog about family life, health, home making, crafts and whatever else i can think about in the meantime....please bear with me and mesage me anytime. i look forward to blogging and reading others blogs. 

x Jodie x
