Happy 2016


Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a good night last night whether you stayed in (like us) or went out. I also hope you all enjoy spending some time together as a family today! We are having a lazy day, although I have laundry to do and some cupcakes to ice. And then going round my sisters later. I also wish everyone a happy and healthy 2016.

A little re-cap on this year: I got a managers position at work and turned it down, as I would like to concentrate on my family and also on my blog, and not worry about getting so stressed at work. I now feel a lot happier about going to work and don't spend time thinking about it at home as much! We had 2 holidays, one to Menorca, Ben's first time on a plane. And our second to France again. We also had some sad news as Steve's nan passed away, but Steve's brother also got married. Took a big step with Ben and got him into a Pre-school, which he loves. And I love the extra free time to get things done around the house as well. We had a great Christmas spending time with mine and Steves families.

What do I hope for in the next year? For Ben to continue progressing well, and to extend his hours at his Pre-school when we can get his 15 free hours. And hopefully he'll become less clingy towards me as he gets older as well. To hopefully persuade Steve to have another baby! He's going on about putting some of Ben's toys in the loft, so he can't be as negative about it as he is saying! As we still have everything of Ben's anyway! To be more organised - now Ben is at Nursery this has become a lot easier. I did have this as an aim for 2015 as well, I have improved but feel I can still do better. I now do more things on the days I work! I also want to take more care in myself, Just little things like moisturising daily, and looking after my nails and hands properly (they take their toll because of where I work). And do my hair properly, it looks so scruffy half the time as I don't do anything with it, and just let it air dry!

Happy New Year and 2015 Resolutions

I'm sitting typing this out on my tablet, hoping it comes out okay, as I haven't done it before.

Would just like to say Happy New Year to you, and hope you all have a great evening and day tomorrow. I've put Ben to bed, although he is still awake as I type, so am just relaxing and finishing off my cider and also going to have some left over chocolate tort that my mum gave us.

Now on to my resolutions.

1. Be more organised, I've ordered my diary from amazon, just waiting for it to arrive, it's  an A5 day per page so I can write a nice long list of everything to do that day.

2. Keep up with my blog, as I think I've been quite good this year, but want to grow more, and branch my posts out a bit.

3. Bake more, I've loved the baking I've done in the lead up to Christmas, and want to do more throughout the year.

4. Eat healthier and cook more, I ordered a slowcooker today, and also a recipe book to use with it.

5. Work out, I think this is going to be in the form of youtube videos, I may also buy some DVDs. I really want to tone up, and lose a little bit of weight as well.

6. Be a good mum, I had this last year as well, but Ben is basically my life, and I love seeing him becoming a little boy, and teaching him new things. Although I in visage that this will be a tough year with the terrible twos, potty training and transferring to a bed.

7. Sort out the spare room and keep it tidy. It is a mess and basically has a load of junk in it. I get it tidy and then it all piles up again.

I'm off to watch James Bond Golden Eye now, the next posts will be our Christmas presents we recieved, sale shopping and a baking post.
