Tickled Pink Fancy dress

something I have always loved is dressing up in fancy dress it started as a young child I had so many fancy dress outfits and would wear them more than my normal clothes. Even through my teens on nights out and through my recent adulting years any chance I get I will wear a fancy dress costume.
      So If you follow my social media you would have seen me recently fully embracing the unicorn look, I love anything unicorn and fairytale so this costume from the get go was pretty awesome.

Fear of the bath!

Recently from nowhere my children have had a fear of the bath tub! Up until we moved to this house we always just had showers which did make life pretty difficult for us especially me the bath lover!!
I would dread telling the children it was bath time I mean my neighbours must have thought I was murdering them the screams and splashing around when I washed there hair! So I decided enough was enough I couldn't fight anymore so I have been coming up with ways to get my children to bath happily.

So here is Rainbow Bath In the dark,
All you need is

• Glowsticks
• A bath tub 
• Running water 
• children who want to bath

I brought the glowsticks from our local pound shop there was around 18 in a tube, I only put half of that amount in the bath though so got two bathtimes out of one tube. I told the children I would make them a super special bath if they didn't kick off a bath all there friends would want to hear about.I told them to stay downstairs until the bath was ready even if they did try every excuse in the book to be nosey at what I was doing.

Here was the result

I did then cover with bubbles so it really did look like the bath was just glowing. It looked awesome and both kids jumped right in! I really could have cried a few days before I was being screamed at and being made to feel I was awful and now they were sitting in the bath playing happily! I will continue to try an find fun ways to make the bath less stressful and more a joy!

Do you have any tips for me??

Being comfortable in my own skin

I know I keep going on about these 'goals' but I have done it again I wanted to stop being so hard on myself and learn how to be comfortable in my own skin. So yesterday I took a massive plunge and left the house with no make up. To some this is nothing but to me its major I feel like my make up is like my brick wall against the world its a face I put on to hide my anxiety its my shield of armor protecting me from all the judgemental pretty bitches.

I may not be the most pretty or beautiful girl in the world but the most beautiful thing about a lady is confidence if you have confidence there is nothing that can stop you. For the first couple of hours I was very anxious especially dropping Nevaeh off at school the playground can be a very scary place even when you are 24. Its like being back at school again and wanting to fit in. This week I decided I no longer want to fit in I just want to be true to myself warts and all!

So I went out all day without make up maybe behind my back people said oh gosh she looks rough today or she must not feel very well but you know what as the day went on my smile got bigger and bigger I didn't keep checking in the mirror to see if I have patches, if my eyeliner had smudged or heaven forbid  I had lipstick on my teeth.

I took this picture at 10:30pm at night realising I didn't have to do the chore of cleaning my make up off or making my eyes sore scrubbing mascara off.

I'm still a huge lover of make-up and I won't go out everyday barefaced but I'm slowly on the recovery to love myself and I CAN fight this world with my naked face.

 The prettiest thing a girl can have on her face is a smile.

Why It isnt time for baby number Three

Is there something that happens in people's minds that when your youngest child turns two suddenly it is time for another? I'm finding myself more and more having to explain why I don't want anymore children. Two currently for me is enough two children is hard work and I can only imagine three being even harder.
Currently right now I feel like I will never have anymore children and when I say this to people the horror on their faces like I have just told them I hate children, BUT you are only young... OH you will change your mind.... OK yes I might but this is how I feel right now.


DON'T YOU WANT TO TRY FOR A BOY...
Well no I don't really if the time ever come that I decided I wanted another, I would try for a BABY yes that's right a BABY because you do know you don't get to decide right?? Like if I had more children should I feel deflated or sad if its a little pink bundle rather than a blue, or blessed that I had been given this little life to treasure? What makes people think I would like a little boy so what if I would like all girls .Why do society put so much pressure on women especially other women Everything seems to be so much pressure and don't get me started on the competition in raising children!?!? Its crazy.

one last thing
Why can't people be genuinely happy for each other,
You passed your driving test? Brilliant
You are graduating college? awesome
You are a stay at home parent? You rock
You work all hours god sends? You go girl
You had children young? you strong women
you lost weight? Well done!

we need more females who will happily compliment one another and smile as you cross paths.



I feel there is this illusion of what a perfect life is and for most people it would be, A well paid job, driving a flashy car, owning your own house, being married, A boy first then a girl and  two holidays a year. look around you right now do you have a roof above your head, do you have loved ones close  even if that is a phone call away. Do you have food in your kitchen and clothes on your back? think about what really is classed as perfect.

Me and my not so perfect family.
