Preparing for a #FreeFrom Christmas

by mentalparentals, in category Food, Free From
Asda FreeFrom

Almost 12 months ago, Q was diagnosed with a cows milk allergy and ever since I’ve spent hours reading the ingredients lists on the back of food packets.  We’ve generally found it difficult to find tasty dairy-free products readily available in supermarkets – that is until recently.   A few days ago, I made a trip… Read More

A Weekend Staycation in the Lakes

by mentalparentals, in category Travel
Croft House, Sally's Cottages

I am so lucky to live on the outskirts of the Lake District, though often find that we take our surroundings for granted because it’s on our doorstep.  Our every-day; our normal.  So when I was asked if I wanted to join some blogger friends on a weekend in a cottage in the Lakes, very… Read More

choosing to live a happy life

There have been times over the recent past where tensions have been fraught and horrible things have been said and done, causing a deeply-rooted unhappiness in my life.  At the time, it’s difficult to see through the mist but now I see that it is only the difference between people and personalities that have caused… Read More

Q’s 2nd Birthday Party!

by mentalparentals, in category Family Updates
Q 2nd Birthday

On 9th March 2018, my little Q turned 2 years old.  After I’d picked O up from school, we rushed to the Hallmark shop to pick up some balloons to add to his set-up of gifts in the living room.  We made it back in the nick of time and Q was so excited to… Read More

Q: 1 Year and 10 Month Update

by mentalparentals, in category Family Updates
Q 1 year and 10 months

Quite aware that there’s a 9 month gap since I last wrote a post like this…  I feel so sad that I don’t have the monthly record of how Q has changed since April 2016.  As you know, I started working full-time in May 2016 and this impacted on my time to blog a lot… Read More

Happy New Year!  I’m not really one for resolutions as I’m not realistically going to change my personality or habits that significantly because the year on the calendar has changed… However, I am one for lists!  In fact, I created a list of 30 Things to do Before Turning Thirty – which actually happens THIS… Read More

Christmas Markets in Cumbria 2016

It’s that time of year again where we start planning for Christmas. I just love a Christmas market.  There’s something magical about getting wrapped up, listening to carols, drinking mulled wine and buying treats and gifts for the festive season ahead.  I have included as many Christmas fairs and Christmas markets in Cumbria as possible, but please let… Read More
