    My Favourite Way To Spend A Rainy Day

    22 October 2026

    Today is day 22 of Blogtober 2026 and the theme today is My Favourite Way To Spend A Rainy Day. As it seems that the rain season is here, and going no where. We will have plenty of rainy days ahead of us. I do love being home on a cold and wet rainy day. Knowing that today I can stay home and keep warm and dry. Although Biscuit is still getting used to the rain I do still take him out and coax him to walk even a little way. Odd Jobs There is always something to do around…

    What Does Balance Look Like For Me Right Now?

    20 October 2026

    Today is day 20 of Blogtober 2026 and today the topic is What Does Balance Look Like For Me Right Now? My life is definitely living up to my blog name of StressedMum. Honestly it is so hard to get the balance right and make things that little more even and calmer As I write this post, things are far from calm. Life is very stressful at the moment so finding things to keep a balance is the key for me. On One Side Of The Scales I have my parents, as you know my dad had quite an intrusive…

    How A Calmer Garden Helps A Stressed Household

    19 October 2026

    A garden is meant to be the place you go to switch off. For lots of us, it looks more like a to-do list in green: grass to cut, hedges to tame, borders to weed and a shed door hanging open on a pile of half-used tools. When school runs, work and dinners already fill the week, the garden becomes one more job nobody ever finishes. A calmer garden shrinks that list, so the space gives you rest instead of taking it. Why The Garden Adds To Family Stress Garden stress rarely arrives all at once. It builds slowly, through…

    How to Create a Cosy Family Home Without Spending a Fortune

    19 October 2026

    A cosy family home doesn’t come down to having the latest furniture, expensive accessories or a perfectly styled space. It’s about creating rooms that feel warm, welcoming and lived in, where everyone can relax and feel comfortable. With a little imagination, some clever planning and a focus on what really matters, you can make your home feel inviting without spending a fortune. Start with What You Already Have Before buying anything new, take a fresh look at what is already in your home. Rearranging furniture, moving lamps between rooms, changing cushion covers or grouping favourite family photos together can make…

    Share A Photo And Tell The Story Behind It

    19 October 2026

    Today is day 19 of Blogtober 2026 and today the topic is Share A Photo And Tell The Story Behind It. Having a husband who was a photographer, we literally have thousands of photos. While I was thinking about this one came to my mind and I remember vividly the story behind it. Being married to a photographer, it was never a surprise if he had an idea or he wanted a certain look. Sometimes he would have an idea in his head but with the lighting or whatever it would never be what he wanted. Obviously, these are pictures…

From sleeping in a tent to exploring the great outdoors, it’s a chance to enjoy new experiences together and make some wonderful family memories.
