Bathtime…ahh a time of bliss, relaxation and transportation to a world of no stress! As you might guess, I love buying the latest monthly glossy, putting on some relaxing music and taking a long soak in a steaming hot bath. It really helps me to unwind and relax my muscles, a god send when its coming to the end of a hard week at work.

Now i know that i have this love of baths in common with a lot of my friends, both mums and non-mums, so i thought i’d put a post about how to achieve the perfect bath for optimum relaxation - just in time for this weekend! I’ve had a look at some holistic books, living magazines and listened to advice and below are my top tips. If you have any which you think would enhance the experience then please let me know!

I was going to write this post about normal activities kids can take part in such as tennis, netball, swimming malarky, however i decided that you would probably know all that already! So instead I’ve decided to theme it around the winter season.

I’m not a big fan of gyms. Or running. I like the odd swim but I find that quite boring. I do bits and bobs here and there to keep in shape, and I’m quite lucky in that having Kian means I don’t always get to eat properly and I’m always on my feet, which also helps to keep the weight off!!I’m glad I’m not a celebrity having to worry about whipping my body back into shape in the blink of an eye - I read the other day that Nicole Richie had her all her baby weight in two week! What?!

there is now so much pressure from celebritries who drop the baby fat in a blink of an eye. For example I was reading the newspaper the other day and saw that Nicole Richie had shed all her baby weight just 2 weeks after giving birth!! What?!

I was recently talking to a friend about the things we do to keep in shape and how we lost our baby weight, so I thought I’d share a few of our ideas. I’m interested to hear what other hectic mums do and how you shed the baby weight. What do you have the time to fit in? What do you actually enjoy?

I love Bonfire Night! Wrapping up warm (in my lovely new jacket!), playing with sparklers and stuffing my face with treacle toffee, whilst watching fireworks is my idea of heaven! What’s not to love? With 5th November nearly upon us it’s time for some safety tips in preparation.

So, what have you got planned for your kids this half term? The weather isn’t too bad oop North at the moment so I’m taking full advantage of that for my plan - to embrace the great outdoors! It can’t do me any harm and Kian loves being out in the sun - I just hope the weather holds out!
