The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Natasha

Living in the Rhondda Valley in South Wales with my boys, proudly Wenglish. Trying to manage full-time work with a family and a life. It's fun. It's always fun, sometimes you just have to look a little bit harder.

What this week looks like...

Family room complete 🖤💗 Still a bit shocked I was allowed pink curtains, but I love how it softens the black and keeps the room light. And let’s face it, in a house where 75% of the occupants have willies, I’ve got to make my mark somewhere amongst the endless nerf gun darts (found one in the pocket of my work skirt last week 🤦🏼‍♀️), endless Roadblox chatter and ‘pretend’ fighting. #myeclectichome #myhome #homesweethome #livingroom #styleithappy #fafffriday #interiør #interiorwarrior #interiordesign #interior123 #howihome #howtheyhome #ikeaatmine #atmine #pocketofmyhome #victorianhome #fireplace #yesthecurtainsneedironing

Throwback Thursday to that time my ginger unicorn made friends with a boisterous husky puppy after a reindeer ride in Finnish Lapland. Y’know. The stuff dreams are made of. Got our next adventure planned for half term, and cannot wait. Feels like so long since our last holiday. #holidays #vacay #havekidswilltravel #littlefierceones #developinglife #Alex #gingerkids #lapland #feelfinnair #finnishlapland #family #parenting #makingmemories #adventure #thisiswhyiwork #son #boy #happy #nextadventurenotsoglamorous

‘What if I end up homeless, Mummy?’ is a question Theo asks whenever we see one of the many, many homeless people on the streets of Cardiff, and I always tell him ‘you will never be homeless because I won’t let it happen’. Which then goes full circle in my head, what has happened to these people, for them to be on the street, if I wouldn’t let my children be there, why are they? It’s not an easy question to answer. If you speak to those on the street, they tell you the shelters are too violent, or that they charge too much, or that they don’t feel safe. If you speak to the shelters, they tell you there’s security, there is no charge, and that there are male and female sections. If you speak to those trying to get rid of the unsightly tents (which are becoming a problem for businesses), they will tell you that those on the streets make too much money to get off. If you ask the police, they say it’s a drug problem and that no one HAS to be on the street. (Those are conversations I’ve had first hand, or relayed back to me). Clearly there’s not a one-size-fits-all, but jeez it’s a painful thing to witness, without having a clear idea of what would actually HELP. The only thing I can guarantee is that I’ll keep my promise to my little boy 💕 #nofilter #overexposed #kids #letthembelittle #motherhoodunplugged #parenting #family #raisingboys #littlefierceones #makemotherhooddiverse #boys #sons #raisingwarriors
