Mini Jen Bag from Mia Tui: Review

Mini Jen Bag from Mia Tui: Review

**I was sent a Mini Jen bag from Mia Tui in exchange for this review.  As always all opinions are honest and my own** Since I was a little girl I’ve been obsessed with bags.  My husband has joked for years that I have a handbag addiction – yet since having the boy nearly five years ago I’ve barely needed let alone used a handbag. But I have discovered my perfect handbag – the ‘Mini Jen‘ bag from Mia Tui.  I promise I’ll try not to get overexcited and gush but it truly is a lovely bag – read on to find out why…

**This is a collaborative post and the items featured were gifted by Simply Be in return for this article.  As always all opinions are honest and my own** I’m no fashion guru but I like to look nice – I’ve never been once to be on-trend and I love to wear quirky things that clash 95% of the time – but I’m finding it hard to find clothes and outfits to wear that are suitable for my daily life.

The Effing Fours: the biggest challenge yet

The Effing Fours: the biggest challenge yet

The Effing Fours, wow.  Every time I write a post like this I feel immense guilt – the little dude was our little miracle after a few years of fertility issues and I wanted nothing more to be a mum – but parenting this strong-willed and fiercely independent little guy is bloody hard work. We survived the Terrible Two’s.  The Threenager bit was, well, bloody hard and now we have hit the Effing Fours.

My Weekly Meal Plan: Week 1 – 4th February 2019

Food, glorious food…. anyone who follows this blog and me knows that I’m a huge foodie and food is life.  I love cooking and that hour a night in the kitchen cooking dinner is a real happy time for me; there is something so therapeutic about creating lovely meals for me and the boys. Meal planning is something I do every week without fail – I don’t always stick to it and occasionally(most weeks) the odd takeaway falls in our front door but I’m a huge fan of planning ahead and being organised.

A really big tummy like yours, mummy

As a fat chick I knew the day would come when my little dude would say something weight-related to me.  I’ve expected it for a while, and I told myself I’d laugh it off when it happens. And so this week, age four and a half, it happened – we were having a random conversation at home, he was colouring and I was washing up.
