New term, new beginnings

Baby Hughesy stared school this week. It's been something of a shock, he seems to be enjoying it more now though which is a relief!! He goes full time from tomorrow so that's exciting. After being overprotective of him starting school I have to admit I'm looking forward to him starting proper so that I can not only get some work done but so I can get myself into a routine!! You don't know what you had until you go without and I've had eight weeks of chaos, I'm more than ready for this new chapter now!!

Tonight was Beavers. We undertook the COOK badge and made scones, I baked them at home to save time and get rid of the sadder looking ones. They did very well as actually the scones are delicious! Used this recipe for them :http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4622/classic-scones-with-jam-and-clotted-cream

Next time we need to measure out the ingredients first but we don't need to again for some time!

Summer Holidays

This September my son starts school! Yikes! I'm quite excited if I'm honest as trying to run a business and be a good mum, stay on top of housework etc is rather tiring. Oh! And my husband and I are Beaver leaders now too! Spare time!? What's that?!?

Still, good job it's so sunny so the kids can make use of their new trampoline...

I have rather abandoned the blog recently, it's been a really busy year. I quit my evening job at the end of 2013 so just over a year ago! I have been self employed for all of 2014 and we survived!! :-)
I have dedicated more time to my Facebook page www.Facebook.com/MummyHughesy
However, my lovely hubby bought me a new gizmo for Christmas which should make blogging much easier!
Today was a strange day, we put Christmas back in its box and made wrapping paper. Like you do...
