Today has been an achey one. I seem to hurt all over. Not sure why my arthritis has decided to he such a dick but that's life I suppose. I'm in a terrible, snappy mood because if it, I'm grumpy and so tired after being in pain all day. I have almost finished this though and cant wait for it to be done and framed! Thinking of selling it then, what do you reckon? As for everything else, Arthur (my year 4 teachers nickname for my arthritis) can piss off, I've had a glass of pink gin WKD and I'm going to bed!

If you are anything like me you will have been on an emotional rollercoaster during the last couple of weeks. My anxiety has sometimes felt controlled, but then is often running wild too, causing panic, depression and episodes of tears. With that in mind I've written about 12 ways I'm keeping my anxiety under control during lockdown. I don't have it all sussed yet, but these tips really do help! You can see the post under the latest blog post link in my bio

This morning Harry Potter and the White Rabbit did PE with @thebodycoach Cannot wait till I have these gorgeous babies in my arms again 💙💙

Today is #worldautismawarenessday Three years ago I wrote a post about my youngest son Riley. So much has happened since then, and unfortunately we are no closer to a diagnosis due to his Dad refusing to let him see a doctor about it. This means his SATS results were affected as his teacher said that had it been a 'good day' Riley would have done significantly better. Now in year three he gets sent out of class when he needs to calm down but with nothing to refocus his brain, I question how this will help. He still flaps and has obsessions, Space is his main one at the moment. He is noisy but cannot cope with high background noise levels. He says exactly what he thinks, when he thinks it which can be inappropriate at times but he means no malice. He is so empathetic and hates the thought of people struggling and suffering. I will pop a link to my original post in my bio but my message would be to other parents - follow your instincts and don't give up. I don't want a label to define my child, I want it so other people understand him a little better. To me he is my kind, beautiful, funny, intelligent, sensitive boy and that will never change

This morning I have a guest post up all about meal prep and how to make things easier on yourself! Although it focuses on busy parents I thing the tips will be super useful for Spoonies too. I will pop a link in my bio! Enjoy ❤💕❤

Well hello there April... what a strange old month you are going to be!
