The Mummy Tag

The Mummy Tag; I was tagged by the lovely Zoe from My Mummy's World

1 – Are you a stay at home or working Mum? 

I'm a stay at home mum / work from home mum. I help out with the new business that my partner Jon is setting up.

2- Would you have it any other way? 

No way, I love being home and watching the boys learn new things.

I would miss them far to much If I was back at work in an office.

3- Do you co-sleep? 

I co-slept with Noah until he was 3yrs old, I occasionally co-slept with the twins, and I co-slept with Ru till he was 8 months old. Every so often he comes into our bed.

I'm a big co-sleeping fan.

4- My Newborn must have?

A sling!

I never had one with Noah, or the twins but since having one with Ru I've been blown away with how great they are.

5- How many kids do you plan on having? 

I would love one more, but apparently that will never happen.

I'm blessed to have four, so I can't really complain.

 
6- Date Night? How often?

Once in a blue moon, we do keep saying we need to make more of an effort as a couple.

We normally just put the kids to bed and crash, our relationship is affected by this and I do feel to keep a relationship going you really need to make the effort to be a couple not just parents.

We are planning a night away in a shepherd's hut down on the local bird reserve. So that should be nice.

7- What’s your child’s favourite show?

Noah's is Dan TDM on youtube, he isn't really a big TV watcher,
Alex & Oscar love Rescue Bots 
Ruperts - Something Special.

8- What’s 1 thing you bought for your newborn and never used?

Burp bib things, that your meant to put over your shoulder when your burping your baby.
I bought a load when I was pregnant with Noah and they never got used.

9- Child’s favourite food?

Noah loves a curry,
Alex & Oscar love sausages, chips and peas,
Rupert - Does like Rice, other than that anything with chocolate on it.

10- How many cars does your family have?

Just the one van,
VW transporter
we have been through a fair few since being a family though.

11. Weight gain, before pregnancy, during, after and now?

Only a little with Noah, and I lost it all pretty quickly afterwards,
With the twins I gained about a stone, but it didn't take too long to get rid of it, but then I fell pregnant with Ru.
God knows what I put on with Ru, I'm still trying to rid myself of the extra weight even now!

12- What’s your dream family holiday?

I think it would have to be flying to Florida to visit Disney Land.
They all really want to go, so it would be lovely to take them along.
I went when I was 21 and it was amazing.

13. Dream holiday without kids?

Anywhere hot and by a nice beach.
Somewhere, where I can just do nothing all day
 and have no worries!

14. How has life changed since having kids?

My life has more meaning now I have the kids.
Its 100x more fun, I'm learning new things from the boys everyday.

15- Finish the sentence. It makes me melt when…

When the boys come and give me random hugs and kisses.


16- Where do I shop for my kids?
I shop all over really, Next, Morrisons, Primark, H&M.

17- What’s your favourite makeup and skincare?  

I use Garnier micellar water daily, I've been using it for about a year or so now and I still love it as much as the first time I used it. I wouldn't use anything else to take my make up off now.

My make up basket is full of all different brands, Rimmel, Urban Decay, W7, L'Oréal, Max Factor.

18- Huggies or Pampers?

I used to be a Huggies mum but then they stopped selling them, so then I moved onto supermarket own brands.
I used cloth nappies with Ru until recently. Now he's in Morrison's own brand nappies.

19. Have you always wanted kids?

No, I used to be very anti children.
It wasn't until I met Noah's dad that I really thought about having children, we used to take his nephew out a lot and it showed me that kids weren't all that bad.

20- Best Part of being a Mum?

Looking at the boys and thinking I made them!!
