ALL POSTS BY: Stacey

I’m Stacey, a bookworm (or should that be dragon?!) from a quaint hamlet on the outskirts of Lincolnshire. In my late 30s, I’m a devoted mum to two wonderful boys who are both autistic—a unique aspect that makes them different, not less. I also share my home with my husband and Barney, my lovable Frenchie x Beagle.

Reflections on the year that was 2014

It’s the end of the year 2014 and a time to reflect on how it has been. Like years past, it has had its fair share of ups & downs but I have kept on battling through with the help of my husband and a few friends who have been there through it all. I’ve also said goodbye to some ‘friends’ at this latter part of the year and although I’m still in the depths of doom, it’s actually helped towards me feeling better.  We started January by realising that this was the year we were actually going to become parents again …

Our Christmas 2014

I’m a little bit late as I’ve hardly been around since Christmas, or have been busy sorting ‘things’ that we seem to have accumulated a lot of this year! For me, the Christmas period has seemed really long this year. I’m not sure if it’s because we started doing Christmas activities in November or because Buddy came to visit for most of December, but once Christmas & Boxing Day was out of the way, the majority of our decorations came down. I’ve kept all of my signs and our cards up but they’ll come down once New Year has been and gone. Christmas Eve Hubby was …

Hubby & I both love Mexican food and although I do love cooking from scratch, sometimes it’s nice to be able to just throw something together from a packet when I’m feeling tired or lazy, and especially when it’s from a brand like Old El Paso. We have used quite a few products from Old El Paso before but we were sent the following items to review, the majority of which I have not tried before: crispy chicken mix chilli seasoning mix wholewheat tortilla wraps corn tortilla wraps squeezy soured cream squeezy red jalapeno relish We hadn’t had fajitas for a …

Merry Christmas!

I’m having a break for a few days over Christmas to spend some quality time with my little family, so there are a few scheduled posts (maybe I can get into this routine in the New Year too!). I’m not sure who will be reading today as I should hope you are spending time with your families too, but I would just like to wish all of my readers a very merry Christmas and I hope Santa has been good to you! See you in a few days!

Elf on the Shelf adventures (days 17-24)

So this is the final week that buddy has enjoyed with us. It’s been quite hard finding different things for him to every day as we just don’t have the time, I don’t know how other people do it! So it’s mainly been a case of hiding him somewhere for J to find. He has still enjoyed it though and gets excited when he finds him. I’m not sure how he’s going to be when Buddy has gone though, I imagine he’ll still look for him for a while! So here’s what Buddy has been up to in his final …
