New Blogging Site!


After a long night struggling with Blogger I moved to Wordpress.
I have much more ownership and ability to personalise my new page and took the plunge before creating too many posts.
My existing posts from the 'Blogger' blog have been transferred over.

My new Wordpress blog on Life, Love and Laughter with my family, 'Life at Cooks Cabin' is located via the below:

https://lifeatcookscabin.wordpress.com

I look forward to seeing you and sharing many happy memories with you on there!

Fun in the Sun {Ordinary Moments Week 3 - 18/1/15}

What a lovely idea to document each week as I can't believe we are closer to the end of January than the beginning, this month is flying by! We've had a family filled weekend, and made the most of the winter sun. There's something really special about being outside all wrapped up snug as a bug, but with the sun beaming down on you. Must be a British thing and without a doubt one of the reasons I love living here

As I type this, my lovely labrador is snoring her head off next to me while I sip on my hot chocolate reflecting on the week gone by

January 2015

So I started the year pretty certain that this would be the year of health and happiness. So far I had had one car accident and a possible broken washing machine (TBC!) however we have had some very funny moments in between

I was reading a blog post called mummy daddy and me makes three 
http://www.mummydaddyandmemakesthree.co.uk/ which is by a very talented woman who is just wanting to capture and record her family time. I LOVE this idea and that's where the inspiration is coming from

January is a pretty gloomy month for most, following Christmas everyone is recovering from the festivities financially and health wise. What I also think adds to the gloominess of January is that many people start dieting / fasting and body blitzing. I mean, what better time could there be then the coldest and for most, the poorest month of the year (!?!?)
I'm in the healthy eating camp, and we are increasing our activities. i aim to lose 30lbs before i'm 30 in June, eek!

One thing I definitely do not want to forget this month is J calling our labrador (Lexi) Deedee, she hasn't quite got it but the dog still responds!

Here's some of the great moments...  

A bit about me....

I am a mum to a beautiful two year old, wife to a lovely husband and owner of a gorgeous labrador, what more could a woman want? (aside from eternal youthfulness!)

I take many photos as I like to capture every precious moment, though in this digital age so few photos get printed or revisited. I want family, friends and others to be reminded of these good times, and as a sort of 'online photo album' with comments and a bit of a diary for me through the year

I also want for my gorgeous daughter to be able to look back on them and remember our memories as fondly as I do

i currently work 4 days a week, and being a working mum is hard, though I couldn't ask for better immediate colleagues and coming home to my family makes it all worth it. For mental wellbeing and stability I have to work, though I simply cherish Fridays, my day off with J

I hope you enjoy my pictures and memories. Feel free to make comments!
