You Know You're a Mum of Boys When...




1. Every time you enter the bathroom the toilet seat is up, or it hasn't been flushed, or there's wee on the floor, or up the walls, the toothpaste is left out on the sink... Or possibly all the above!

2. There's a finger in your eye, nose, ear or mouth...

3. You're buying a new pair of school shoes/trousers AGAIN because you've found yet another hole.

4. You over use the phrase 'Leave your willy alone!!' [and that's not just the kids! ;)]

5. You go through air freshener, to mask the smell of stinky shoes, socks, and general boy smell, like nobody's business.

6. It's not unusual to see a mega blok going round and round in the washing machine.

7. If you've lost it, it's probably in the bin, where you'll also find half a dozen dummies, a shoe and your favourite lipstick you've been looking for all week.

8. When you, the only female in the house, are chief 'spider catcher'.

9. You know the off-side rule.

10. When the school calls you know it's another, 'He's had a bit of an accident at break time...' moment.

11. The house is constantly noisy, that includes the chorus of burping and farting.

12. You're an expert of carrying hot food from one side of the kitchen to the other, whilst dodging a lego tower, kicking a football away from the oven and all with a toddler wrapped round your leg.

13. There's no such thing as a 'clean pair of shoes'.

14. Apparently, FIFA is a way of life.

15. You wonder why you're getting funny looks before realising you're singing the theme tune to Thomas the Tank Engine, far too loud whilst walking down the supermarket aisle.

16. Your pre-teen sits down to dinner 10 minutes after every one else because he 'was online during an extremely important game & couldnt turn it off'... or he'd die.

17. You can't walk down the street without them picking something up off the floor as you go, a stick, a leaf...

18. The kitchen cupboard is full of empty boxes and packets.

19. You've mastered the art of walking in to a room and ducking a flying football/brick/toy car.

20. You have snuggles and 'I love you Mummy's on tap. Boys are so unbelievably loving and you're the luckiest mummy in the whole world to have beautiful boys to look after you!!

November Beauty Favourites 2015

beauty favourites

I can't get over how fast this year has flown by! The months are just passing by so quickly! 

Here are the 5 beauty products I've been loving this month:

lee stafford, dry shampoo, hair care, beauty

Lee Stafford Dry Shampoo (£5.99/Boots)
I'm in-between cuts right now, so I've been practically living in a messy bun lately, and this stuff has been my best friend. It's perfect for keeping my hair refreshed between washes and creating a bit of volume.

moyou, nail stamping, nail art, nails, beauty

MoYou London Stamping Nail Art Plate (£4.99*)
If you read my recent 'Nail Stamping - My First Attempt' post you'll see it featured this fab stamping plate. I'd never tried stamping before but always wished I could do nail art. But being not particularly creative, I was shocked at how effortless and easy this way to create great nail art. It's great and I'm already looking at other plates to create different looks!

mac cosmetics, skin finish, high light, soft & gentle, makeup, beauty

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle (£24.99)
I rave about this little beauty all the time, I've been using it a lot this month, possibly daily. I use it as my highlight and sometimes sweep it all over the face for a subtle all over glow. It's one of those must have products all year round!

makeup revolution, MUR, makeup, beauty

MakeUp Revolution Awesome Double Flick Thick & Think Eyeliner (£3.50)
I used to wear eyeliner constantly, but over the summer I took a step back and went more natural on the eyes. This month I reached for the eyeliner again and remembered why I loved this eyeliner in particular. It has a thick nib and a thin nib so together they make the perfect flick, effortlessly. And the price tag is just amazing for the quality!!

maybelline, mascara, makeup, beauty

Maybelline Lash Sensational Lash Multiplying Mascara (£7.99)
I'm usually a premium beauty fan when it comes to mascara, but I'd heard so many great reviews about this that a few months ago I thought I'd give it a try. I can vouch for the reviews, it's fantastic, better than a lot of premium brands I've used. I've been using it pretty much every day for the last few months. It's great for a natural, every day look and builds up beautifully for a more dramatic look for nights out and special occasions. 


What beauty products have you been 
reaching for most this month?
