Fathers Day 2024

 Hi there!


I know this post is a little late, as it’s now way past Father’s Day, but I thought I would share with you what we did for Father’s Day this year.


Both Leonard and I are very similar when it comes to any day that is about us, like birthdays, Christmas, etc. We never know what we want or what we want to do. We ask the other serval million times, or at least what feels like it, but we always struggle to think of things. 


For Father’s Day this year, I got him a little gift from Sophie, from Etsy. Which is a site that I have used a few times in the past, but it’s never the first place I look for gifts. I really should as they have some great things on there which are ideal for gifts. 





This could only be personalised to change the ‘Daddy’ and ‘Love Sophie’ part of the text. 


I got up in the morning, made both of us a cuppa while Sophie was still sleeping and we sat and enjoyed a HOT drink, whilst sat in bed. A rare chance for a hot drink, I know. Then it was time to get Sophie up and give her the present bag, with the little teddy and card in. Sophie looked so grown up carrying the bag into Daddy. After pretty much throwing the bag at him, she then pointed to the TV and shouted BLUE! (shes a massive Blues Clues & You fan). Leonard opened his gift and tried (and failed) to get a hug from Sophie. 


Later in the morning, we made our way to Millington Woods. We didn’t even make it five minutes into the walk before Sophie refused to walk any further. She used to be so good at walking and refused to be in the pram, but that has since changed. Leonard went back to the car for the stroller, luckily still not being far from the car. We got Sophie into the stroller and carried on with the walk. It was a lovely walk and we continued until we got to the steps, where we sat on the bench and Sophie had a snack. We then made our way back towards the car to head home, but not without stopping at a lovely little tea room first for some much needed cake and coffee. Sophie had a toasted teacake, but was far more interested in trying to get some of my coffee cake.




When we got home, we spent the rest of the day relaxing, well, as much as you can with a 1 year old. We all had a lovely day together and was made even better by the sun staying out for us.


What did you get up to on Fathers Day?

Speedy Healthy Crustless Quiche: Ready in Just 30 Minutes

Image
Hi there! I do love a good homemade crustless quiche. It’s so quick and easy to make and it’s easier to make than it sounds.  I make a crustless quiche at least three to four times a month. Mainly towards the back end of the week. Depending on how much veg we have left over in the fridge depends what goes in it. I find it such a great way to get all, or most, of that veg used up so it all doesn’t go in the bin. Which is a win for our bin and for our pocket!  Let’s dive into how I make a crustless quiche in 30 minutes.  Ingredients Frylight  Whatever leftover veg you have in your fridge that is still edible. I say edible, because we all know how quickly veg can go off in the fridge. Any seasonings or spices that take your fancy, or leave these out completely. Eggs - I normally use between 4-6. This depends on how much veg is going in the quiche. I aim to have enough eggs to cover the veg.  Cheese of your choice, or skip this if you wish.  My leftovers for th...

What I Packed in my Hospital Bag

Image
  Hi there!   I thought I would do a bit of a list on what I packed for myself and for Sophie for our hospital bags.    There are many, many lists of what people pack already out there. I’m also going to add some things I wish I had taken and some bits that I just didn’t bother with.    I think I packed and re-packed the bags so many times and I changed which bags I was taking about 3 times. In the end I just ended up taking my suitcase and a bag for Sophie.     For reference, I went in to be induced so I wasn’t sure how long I would be in hospital for. I was in for a total of 6 nights, 5 nig hts before Sophie was born and a night once Sophie was born –  nearly 2 nights .   What I packed for myself:   Clothes – these were mainly baggy comfy tops and joggers   Pjs   Towels so I could have a shower   Breast Pads – which I didn’t end up using   Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, face wash, shampoo, shower gel) I fo...

Hi! 👋🏻

  Hi there! Welcome to my first post on my new blog. 👋🏻 I’m Kerry, engaged to Leonard and mummy to 19 month old Sophie. I currently work part time and have been with the company for nearly 6 years. I’ve always wanted to write my own blog, I’ve even tried in the past, but I’ve never really known what to write about. Which is a bit important when you want to do a blog. Recently, it’s hit me, I feel that I can write about surviving motherhood and family life, hence the name of this blog, Mum Life With One. With the help of Leonard of course!  I want this to be a little hobby for me, a time that I can sit by myself, write a post and publish it. Even if no one reads it.  As we had Sophie, the world entered a cost of living crisis, my take home pay was a lot less than what it used to be, from statutory maternity pay to dropping my hours.  I’m in no way a professional of any kind, I offer no advice. I’m just trying to put my thoughts, feels and everything else out there. ...
