There's a new post on the blog today and it's a guest one. Check out Five Shoes Every Fashionable Mom Needs in Her Closet by clicking the link in my bio. What are your favourite shoes to wear?

Well if this is day one I'm already failing... Up late (luckily still in time for my hospital appointment) and feeling very flustered! Seriously though, don't wait for a new week, a new month, a new year. Change can happen whenever you need and want it to. There's still time to get this day back on track... Wish me luck!

You all know I love listening to a podcast but this one is a new fave! @davidtennantpod is fab, he is such a natural interviewer and the two guests so far - Olivia Coleman and @whoopigoldberg - have been brilliant guests. Highly recommended a listen!

Absolutely love this picture of my girl! We were over at a big park today for a good 3 hour run/walk and she was brilliant, both on and off the lead.

Five Friday Favourites 1) Netflix - Killer Inside The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez Wow what a documentary, @netflixuk have done it again! Hugely recommend to anyone who is interested in true crime. So sad in so many ways 2) My @pocketperfectdesigns pens - they not only make me smile but they are really comfy to use (I need chunkier pens due to arthritis in my hands) and write so nicely 3) Waking up to a beautiful delivery on Thursday morning from @ste_w22 was definitely a highlight, making me smile after a rough few days with migraines 4) my veggie Biryani was delicious. I picked up a ready made pack of curried veg from @asda for just £1. Added a tin of chopped tomatoes, a little water and a stock cube and cooked. I stirred in rice to serve. You could add meat if you wanted but it was so tasty and I really enjoyed it 5) my new soluble/liquid vitamins seem to be taking effect all ready which is fab! If you are having trouble absorbing tablets I would definitely recommend trying these What have you been enjoying this week? Let me know in the comments so I can check them out!

#tbt #throwbackthursday #throwback Memories can be wonderful and sometimes can be sad. Sometimes they are both at the same time. This is Riley starting at his new school three years ago. My beautiful boy who has since gone back to his Dad's with no extra support or help in place for his needs. His beautiful face will always make me smile but I ache to be able to do more, be more for him. I will fight little man, for you and your brother until the end of time. You are a beautiful little human and I love you very much!
