I SURVIVED!!! (JUST!)

I'm going to be really honest — I did not handle half term gracefully. Not even a little bit.

Three kids. One week. Thirty degrees of relentless sunshine that sounds lovely until you are standing in a garden at 2pm feeling like a slowly melting Calippo while someone shouts "mum I'm BORED" at you from inside an actual paddling pool.

I tried. I genuinely tried. We had days out, we had ice creams, we had the paddling pool, we had films on the sofa. And in between all of that lovely stuff I was also a snack dispenser, a referee, a driver, and apparently the only person in the house capable of locating literally anything.

Anyway. The point is — I'm back. Kids are at school, I'm at my desk, the computer is open and I am genuinely so ready to crack on. If you've been waiting to get in touch or you've had your eye on something, now is the time!

And honestly? If you also just survived half term with small humans — you deserve a treat. Might I suggest something from the shop? 25% OFF AT THE MINUTE ON MUGS TUMBLERS AND WATERBOTTLES!! Go on. You've earned it.
