The Stylish Mamma

My Weekends are mixed. I often do a radio show on some Sundays and my son does a few sports and then we will play when the weather is warmer out in the garden and we will on Saturdays watch sport if there is football or rugby on and it just a great time to just unwind and get tasks done that you can't do in the week.  Take some extra time to be with yourself. The weekend if you aren't working because of shops, hospital workers for example have to, but have some extra time to read if it possible, sit out in the garden when it is nice and sunny outdoors and I like getting up when it is dark and see the sunlight come through. If  you are a parent then ask if your spouse or partner to take the kids out whilst you spend extra time to listen to music, have a friend over or watch the Saturday morning TV.  Arrange playdate . Often if my brothers family will pay a visit but my brother plays sports but a great time to see family and in the spring summer have a family BBQ. Have time...

It is good to have an idea of where you are heading. Have aspirations. Be making one step a day to get to where you want to be.  I like where I am at at the moment. I today took my son on a bus ride because my son has wanted to go on a bus that goes to West Croydon for ages. At the moment he has no school placement so it felt like it was the right to do it today.  Where have you always wanted to go? This is includes your mindset. What do you want to set your mind on? Mine is to focus on finding a school for my son, publish another book and continue building my blogs and Youtube channels and letting more things go. Have low spend year and own less. I feel that if you want direction you need to think about what results do you want to see.  What things do you want to let go of? I do a radio show for my local hospital and want to do more shows to build up my confidence and not allow the fear of doing that get to me and stop me.  What do want see in your life? I would lik...

I am 47 years of age. How old can you be to have a Comfort Blanket?  I love being able to sit on the sofa on my laptop with my blanket or just watching TV. It is good to be indoors and have something that can be your meditation and therapy. I like to be in my PJ's a lot because it helps my mind calm down and refreshed to have a proper day and time that is yours and noone is allowed to disturb and be a date with yourself.  I wrote about how I like a good pair of PJ's and be on my laptop with a drink and it just gives me so much joy and so does a comfort blanket. Please check out another google blog I write:  My Style Way of Living Am I too old?  It brings me so much joy that I am tempted to buy a Christmas one.  Amazon is my go to as I am not a fan of Christmas shopping in the high street because of it being too busy.  A comfort blanket is a great gift. Not necessarily a Christmas one as it can only be used once a year but one that can be used all year round...

I watched a really good Podcast called Happy Place, where Fearn Cotton speaking to the writer Elizabeth Gilbert with a Pizza, which I am going to do on a regular basis. This is not something I'd want to do every week but now and again. I like to have proper family dinners, without social media or being on our devices.  As a kid we never had the internet and would all sit around the table and often the TV would be turned off, whilst we ate. We focused on what we were eating and would be told "Stop watching the TV and Eat your dinner" and I would take a long time to eat to the point my food would end up in being cold.  Anyway reverse back to forty years later I like to still have a family meal but watching something or I will play some music. I like to eat mindfully but I also love to do something different and having a Podcast whilst eating some Pizza still made me feel present and time where we can all be watching something and still be doing something together as a famil...

Shopping with my son I really wanted to read a magazine with a cup of tea. It took me ages to find where they were and not something I buy all the time now. Buying a magazine all the time, I wouldn't read them so would be a waste, so it is something I buy now and then and will on the occasion buy the Big Issue. I love to just have a cup of tea, Yorkshire Tea or Tetley Teabags and a the Woman And Home magazine.  It is good to read up interviews and just a break from books. I do love books but treat myself to a mag and do get inspired by many of them articles. Not just celebrities but normal folk where people have begun a hobby and now it is their business.  I remember reading about a woman who lost her legs in the London Bombings and became a wheelchair Professional Wheelchair Netball Player. It is good to have sometime to chill and on Saturday it was a rainy day. When shopping we each allowed us to pick 4 things to buy and it was good. Doing different things and having that ti...

I don't have a bacon sandwich all the time, but now and then with a cup of tea. It is good to have the things you enjoy to feel excited. I love my food now, being super fuzzy as a child and when I have a Bacon Sandwich it reminds me of my dad as every weekend he'd make me a Bacon or Sausage sandwich but found it super filling and wouldn't eat all of it, which my dad would get annoyed with and didn't like how soggy the bread would get. Now it is part of it, but a Bacon roll is a delicious too and nice to have this to warm up the body and feel satisfied and it actually helps with my appetite by being full and not snacking so much. The tea I normally have is, Tetley's or Yorkshire Tea. I do occasionally have herbal and like a bit of lemon and honey in the winter, in my tea. I like my afternoon cup and like to have a cuppa in the evening when reading my book before bedtime.  The book I am reading at the moment is The Street by Anthony Quinn. I bought it from a Charity s...
