Halloween!! 🎃

Now I can’t live in America and not include a blog about Halloween on my stateside page! It is the beginning of the fun holiday season here. (My satellite radio has started christmas stations today – 1st Nov!) The majority of October is all about fall and halloween. Especially the last week where there areContinue reading “Halloween!! 🎃”

My Florida Style

With my trip to England coming up I’ve been sorting through my clothes deciding what to take with me. It’s still 13 days away but I like to do this inital sweep of my closet in advance – just incase i have to go shopping 😀 My closet here is pretty big. I chose theContinue reading “My Florida Style”

Day in the life of….

Its been a month now since all the children started full time school and people often ask me what I’m doing with myself ? Well, I’m a routine person so after leaving the loose routine of our #12weeksofsummer I found myself carving out a new routine just for me – Monday to Friday 8.30 tillContinue reading “Day in the life of….”

Birthday boy!

To start with we faked Leo’s birthday this year to save him from having a boring day! Leo turned 5 on 21st August. We celebrated 19th August. His actual birthday was a Tuesday. We leave our house at 7.30am after at least 1 pre school tantrum from Poppy. So that was my first issue- howContinue reading “Birthday boy!”

New starts

All 3 are in school. All day long, every day!! How did this happen ?? I’m sure Leo was just born 5 minutes ago not almost 5 years ago. To think if we were still in England I would have already let my last baby go. Definite pros and cons to this, but I amContinue reading “New starts”

We started the process of choosing a home relatively quickly and within a few weeks had anContinue reading “Shopping – Filling a home U.S style”

Surviving the summer!

This is a follow up blog to my #12weeksofsummer I published back in June. As the Uk are just starting their summer break of 6 weeks thought I would post a few tips to help along the way and also as a way for me to refocus and rock the last 19 days of schoolContinue reading “Surviving the summer!”

Free, ish fun!

So I mentioned in my previous blog how the children and I plan summer activities then I go through ideas trying to stick to a budget ie. As close to free as possible! Well we have had 2 packed days of fun for around $20, all relatively local fun too. We live in a communityContinue reading “Free, ish fun!”

#12weeksofsummer

We are 1 week exactly into the 12 week school summer holiday. The “I’m bored” started at 1.19pm yesterday and hasn’t stopped since. Children used to a full packed day of learning are left to follow mom or dad around whilst they go to the gym or run errands! No wonder they’re bored! So, asContinue reading “#12weeksofsummer”

Leo, Izzy and Poppy

So since Leo graduated today I will introduce our children from youngest to oldest. Leo, 4 but as the 3rd child a big boy since the day he was born! Moved to florida as a 2 year old who still wore nappies (diapers) and walked around with 3 dummies (pacifiers). Fast forward 2 years andContinue reading “Leo, Izzy and Poppy”
