Beautiful Xmas Gift Ideas For Her With Onecklace

Beautiful Xmas Gift Ideas For Her With Onecklace

This year I am delighted to be working with the lovely folks from personalised jewellery company Onecklace again.  I have been lucky enough to review for them before so I was super excited when this little box of loveliness arrived:     I was even more delighted when I opened up the above to reveal this:   This beautiful silver bracelet is made of sterling silver and carries the 0.925 sterling silver stamp, as does all Onecklace silver jewellery.  This one carries my initials, JAB, in a beautiful monographed sphere with a delicate double chain ...

Sorry, not sorry, for my sisters

Sorry, not sorry, for my sisters

  Oh. My. God. This has been my worst week for a while.  I am feeling a bit sensitive but MAN I hadn't expected the fights I have had this week. TRUMP This misogynistic assaulter is even being considered for president?  He is delusional.  He is beyond insane.  He is a sexual predator. He's running for president. CHED EVANS VICTIM This poor girl. I am so utterly disillusioned in the legal justice system, actually THAT JUDGE, who has basically made it impossible for any woman now to win a rape case.  Who CARES if she had actually slept with ...

10 Reasons I HATE Running

10 Reasons I HATE Running

It hurts. My calves feel like lead. I discover more bits which wobble that I hadn't noticed previously. All of a sudden there seems to be very little air. And the air that there is feels like travelling through glue. Feeling the need to speed up on sight of another human being...and actually being incapable of doing so. Attempting to convey a 'please don't try and talk to me' smile at said human beings because there is really not enough breath to spare on chat...or smiling come to that. Hills literally get steeper before my very eyes. Ten minutes feel like ten hours. ...

Meeting Milestones With SMA PRO Toddler Milk

September 1, 2016 By jbmumofone Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post.   It is staggering just how quickly my baby became a toddler, particularly so with number two.  When The Boy was born I seemed to wait an eternity to tick off several milestones, first words, first steps, first solid food.  In reality it probably happened just as quickly as with Little Miss but I was really aware of waiting.   Not so this time around.  I almost feel like I blinked and I missed it.  There was also probably some realisation of, in reality, how much harder parenting becomes when they can actually walk and ...

#ROADTRIP. Road Testing The Peugeot 5008

#ROADTRIP.  Road Testing The Peugeot 5008

I am going to come clean straight away.  I am what could be 'loosely' termed as a bad driver.  It is VERY hard for me to admit this.  I am also ultra-competitive.  I am not good at being bad at stuff.  When I say stuff I really mean anything.  But, truth be told, driving is really not my thing. I know this will come out in the comments, yes I am looking at you two, SO, a few facts about me and driving. I wrote off the instructor's car in my first test.  I hit a bridge.  I will not comment further. I had to get out and vomit halfway ...

Dear Brexiteer,

June 24, 2016 By jbmumofone 17 Comments

Dear Brexiteer,

Dear Brexiteer, I feel like I am over-glamourising you here.  You sound bit like a Musketeer.  You're not.  Obviously.  But Brexiter, like Brexit, is so ugly... How are you feeling today dude?  Pretty happy I guess, as there is much to celebrate...oh wait. The pound and FTSE have tanked.  Did you get your holiday currency out before you placed your vote?  You little scamp you.  I'm sure all the small businesses in this country, and those who have effectively seen their wages just halve, will be most relieved. Oh and now we can negotiate ...

Middle age…

February 17, 2016 By jbmumofone 6 Comments

Middle age…

So I am totally middle-aged.  Some might say the wrong side of... Mr B and I have now turned from serial wedding guests to serial 40th birthday party-ers...and very fun it is too.  We, as a generation, and I assume like most generations before us, have relaxed with age.  Parties are MORE fun now.  Partly because of the sheer rarity of them but also the fact that you're not worried about who you might end up with.  We are together. Who you're going to talk to doesn't matter.  We've been there.  We've done that.  I know full well that there are three ...

Guest Post: Fun With Family Indoors

Right now then the weather is not very welcoming, and we tend to spend more time indoors, our kids might get a little bit bored. That is totally normal since staying at home then the weather outside if windy and cold is pretty natural. Going out might seem as not a perfect solution as well, especially if your family’s budget is tight and you wish to save some money for a holiday. To help you out and help your kids have fun indoors without spending tons of money, I gathered a few frugal and fun activities for your family. These activities will help you spend cold winter evenings cosy, warm and ...

The Last Year…

December 22, 2015 By jbmumofone 2 Comments

So, the last year...where to begin? At the beginning I guess. January this year we were just starting to settle into our new home in Devon.  It was still feeling very new.  People here seemed to move VERY slowly.  There may have been a little bit of rage in supermarket queues when folks just stopped for a chat, but we got used to that. We booked in several workmen to do varying bits about the house.  Occasionally they turned up at the scheduled times.  Mostly they didn't, but we got used to that too. This year Mr B and I have both, without doubt, slowed ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
