Once upon a time, I would go out, meet new people and it felt reasonably easy and enjoyable. You’d have a chat, a drink, a laugh! BUT… being a Mum and meeting other Mums, it’s none of those things. I would go as far as to say it’s even harder than actually dating!

Firmoo FTW… Glasses for everyone!

Posted on 1st June 20161st June 2016 by swanny

A smart pair of glasses can really make the difference. As a little girl, I used to hate wearing glasses, especially at school. I was meant to wear them in class, but I never did! These days, glasses have come a long way and the fashionable ones usually come with a pretty big price tag.

When we got married, we didn’t have a care in the world. I didn’t suffer from my health problems and everything was super easy. We’ve rarely fought over the past 7 years we’ve been together and here’s some of the things that’s helped us along the way:
