I started the currently reading posts a while back and then just stopped, I completely lost my mojo with blogging for a long time but I am now ready to sort it out and hopefully post regularly. This book that I am reading is a classic festive story which I am sure most of you are aware of, I have never actually read this book even though I have owned it for 18 years. It is a little bit more of a harder read as the language is the classic Victorian style. Title: A Christmas Carol Author: Charles Dickens Publication Date: 1905 Genre: Fairytale/Fiction  http://amzn.eu/d/2Yd5MmV I would highly recommend reading this around Christmas time at least one in your life as it is such a well known story which even children can enjoy. My 6 year old loves the story. 

Me and Lilly have a few minute's together every night to read a bedtime tale and every night I get her to pick her book. As she seems to pick some of the same ones often I wanted to share her favourite books with you. Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. We both love anything to do with the authors/illustrators of the book but Monkey Puzzle seems to be the one she turns to at the moment. Monkey Puzzle is a story about a lost monkey and a butterfly who is trying to help. It is a rhyming story which helps children learn about animals through size, colour and characteristics. The Dinosaur that pooped a lot by Dougie Poynter and Tom Fletcher This is one of my favourites too, the story was part of last year's 'World Book Day' so was only £1 when we got it.  The story is about a boy and his dinosaur travelling through time and space but unsure how to get home, we find out how at the end. The story obviously contains the word Poo ...

I am back again with a currently reading, and yes its another Harry Potter book. I never actually finished reading the Philosopher's stone but I just couldn't resist starting the new book.  I started reading this book on the 5th of August and am already pretty much half way though. Considering how much of a slow reader I am thats good for me. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a follow on story from the Harry Potter series, it is set 19 years later with Harry Potters child Albus is the main character. The book is written in script form with staging ideas too. So far it is a brilliant book, a real page turner, the only issue is is that it makes me want to go a see the show in London. xXx

We have spent most of today inside exept for running down the shop for a few things. So an indoor day means puzzles and books galore. Lil's has still be waking at 6am which is hard....I can say, especially without coffee, but we get there. So the morning consisted of some cbeebies time and some cuddles which is the best part of the day and she is so chilled that I get loads of cuddles. I did have a bit of housework again, just thr hoovering and never ending washing but it didn't take up too much time. Whilst I was doing this Lil's made a tent with her rocking horse and evey blanket she could find. This afternoon we popped to the shops quickly for a few essentials and a couple of treats and then when hope we started on the puzzles.   We stopped for dinner, Lil's had a turkey burger and some potato wedges which went down a treat. After the mess was tidied up Lils got into her PJ's and we settled down to more puzzles. She is getting realy good a...

 I absolutely love reading and lately I have been recording what I am reading and when. I then thought why don't I write it on my blog rather than a piece of paper.  My latest book is Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone. I am reliving my childhood going back through the series and can't wait to relive the next 6 books too.  As some of you may know I am a bit of a potterhead and always go back to the films but have not gone back though the page in a long while, theg have sadly been sitting gathering dust, but no more! I don't read very fast as I usually end up falling asleep in my book so these will be very random. I would love any suggestions to add to my list of 'Must reads' and I hope you like reading what I am reading. xXx

I have had a year battle with anxiety which turned more servere back in November.    I have had to learn how to cope with my panoc disorder to a point which I can move on with my life and not let it affect my day to day situation.  Four ways that I find that help me a lot are music, exercise, reading and my family.  Music I find music can really help to take your mind off of the situation or feeling that can cause you panic. I keep my music upbeat and happy as I can find slow songs to be difficult to listen to. I try and use song that I can sing along to or dance to with my little one to completely imerse myself within the song. Exercise Excercise is good for you anyway but it can make you feel better within yourself and heighten your endorphins. It also again can take your mind off the situation in hand. I find that short burst exercise routines of youtube can be the most helpful as there is someone kind of there to do it with you....
