With Winnie now starting Primary school and my eldest now at Secondary School it's really reminded to me has fast it goes... How one second we are going through the motions of the night feeds, how we are looking forward to those first steps, to weaning, to potty training - the first day's of motherhood is exhausting and you lose yourself in the day to day. You lose what was once your identity and changed into a new person - for me it was the better of course (cliché to say I know) The first step into motherhood is scary, I questioned my sanity each day, it felt isolating at times, there's the post partum phase, the everything phase. Then they start school and making steps without you and it's like you have to discover yourself all over again. The parenthood guilt of not being the best 𝘺𝘰𝘶 you can be is there each day - the failures I've had and how it's affected them will be everlasting and at times consuming.

The past few months I've felt lost without the toddler groups (weird right?!) and my little sidekicks shopping with me or cooking with me (I even miss one of them kicking off and laying on the floor at the concept of entering a supermarket, or pushing a sleeping baby in a trolley)

Motherhood is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, I was a single parent from the get go and without family support I don't know how I would've got through it but I did, we got through the nappy changes & the initial development and now we are onto the next step of life. Oscar still sleeps in my bed, he's my little mamas boy and Winnie still wants hugs and stories but my 12 year old is becoming her own person... And yeah I guess I miss the days she'd climb into my bed and tell me about her day and snuggle. Growing pains I guess.

Permanently fat and shattered - love my kids but how do they survive on little sleep or do they syphon it off me? They argue about going to bed each night then wake up early WHY 😂

As long as there is chocolate, there will be happiness.

Also if you've never seen @parksandrec then you won't know all about Galentine's Day! A creation of the awesome fictional deputy director of Parks and Recreation in Pawnee, Indiana, Leslie Knope. "The show's writers centered the 16th episode of the second season of Parks and Recreation around Leslie's favorite February tradition, Galentine's Day."

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Galentine's Day is a "day for women to celebrate their friendships with their lady friends." Essentially, the meaning of Galentine's Day is Valentine's Day for your gals. (It's right there in the name).

In the spirit of Valentines next week - here's a reminder that regardless of your relationship status, self love (I think) is more important. You can be married and still feel alone. You can be single and want companionship. Love comes in many forms - different shapes and sizes.

As I've mentioned lots over the years - I'm a single pringle and I choose to be single and enjoy being single. Single parenting is hard but it would be 100 times worse in an unhappy relationship - in the past I've already spoken about toxic relationships I've been in so I don't feel the need to go into it but what I will say is, is the power I felt realising I'm worthy of more than being gaslit and abused is a powerful feeling.

Someone once said (at a toddler group of all places) that I can't give good advice because I'm single - but this came from someone who was happily married in a relationship since 16 - great for them of course - but I think heartbreak changes you, your perspective and experiences of falling in love with the wrong people gives you great insight, I think it's shallow to judge people just for having a different life journey and assume they have nothing else to offer as they are different to you.

Valentine's Day can sometimes bombard us with unrealistic and idealised ideas of what a relationship is and it’s only to be expected that we constantly try to measure ourselves up to this false idea of perfection. As a result, we can end up feeling inadequate - despite our own lives and relationships being perfectly fine - whether relationships with a significant other or ourselves. Online you'll notice mixed feelings on the subject whether criticising or enjoying the day.

Whether you choose to be alone or whether you’re actively seeking a partner, or have a significant other, Valentine's Day doesn't always have to be about celebrating a relationship with another person. You can celebrate it with the group of friends that are always there for you, your family who are always by your side, or even by yourself celebrating the point that you’re at in your life.

This photos on this post say *she but it applies to all genders, sexual preferences and backgrounds.

This. This is today's post. For I am strong but I am tired. Sure I could definitely do a long winded description of how parenting is f*cking hard but if you're a parent/carer you'll know anyway and by no means am I saying I hate being a parent (a single parent at that) but it's just some days are harder than others and I'm feeling all the guilt for past failures and current guilt for current failures, like not being present enough in the mothering role - by this I mean some days I just do what I can to get through the day and happy when it's bedtime.

I have 3 children of 3 different ages, different requirements, different characters, different stories and it's just f*cking hard and there's only one of me.

Together we're a family, we have a different story to lots of people - we definitely aren't a stereotypical family and I love that about us - however, having this style of family definitely comes with its hardships.

This week has felt like a long week - Winnie hasn't been well so she's been attached to me, I haven't minded the fact she's been attached to me of course but the fact when you have an ill child you can't do anything (I brushed my hair one day though, that was nice) and then you have other children that need attention too it just gets full on. Next week is half term so hopefully she'll be back to being herself 🤞

Hope you're all having a good week!

Every year on 9 February it is National Pizza Day, a whole day to celebrate all things doughy and delicious!

Here's the very important question - which is your favourite topping?

Here's a photo of Winnie having one of her usual orders at Spoons! She has ham and cheese pizza or pineapple on pizza (I know, the controversy!) Second swipe and you'll see a non-insta-aesthetic messy table and the giant piece of chicken I ate that day! BEAST

𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲 💕

With Valentines Day next week I thought I'd create some sweet treats! 💕

𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙡 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙚

𝘐𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴:

• 300g butter

• 150g golden caster sugar

• 350g plain flour

• 100g rice flour

• 150g dark chocolate, chopped

𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘭:

•100g golden caster sugar

•salt flakes

𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘥:

STEP 1

To make the caramel, heat the sugar in an even layer in a frying pan until it melts and then starts to bubble to a golden brown. Swirl the pan if you need to keep the melting and browning even. (This happens at around 160-180C making caramel quite dangerous to work with so you can always buy pre-made caramel) Add a good sized pinch of salt flakes and tip the caramel onto an oiled baking sheet set on a wooden board. Cool and then break into chips with a rolling pin.

STEP 2

Easy melt the butter in a microwave and mix sugar in a food processor until you have a smooth paste - unless you're me and just bash manually!

STEP 3

Add all of the flours and a pinch of salt and whizz to form a dough. Tip onto a lightly floured board, pat out gently and sprinkle with the caramel chips. Fold in half and then transfer to a 20 × 30cm tin and push into an even layer - but what I did to create the heart shape was use a cookie cutter and just moulded the dough for baking. Chill for 30 minutes.

STEP 4

Heat the oven to 180c/fan 160c/gas 4. Bake the shortbread for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

STEP 5

Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, cut around the edges with a knife and then cool completely - take out and enjoy!

I haven't room for two recipes on here but will add the 𝘿𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙚 to my blog page 'Bryony - Perfectly Imperfect' but to be honest there are literally millions of recipes out there! I was considering a step by step reel but that required more effort but there's also loads of videos online!

As with all recipes you can adapt and see what works (the classic wing it style is my go to) so you can change to suit personal dietary requirements.

𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 🖤
