A photo of us celebrating my daughter getting straight A's in her exam results today. She worked so hard for these results. It's funny these results mean than her previous ones because she was doing it for herself. She already had an unconditional offer for Uni but wanted to still do well. She even had to fight teachers to do Advanced Higher (Scottish exam slightly higher than an English A Level) in French. She was good at Maths so the teachers thought she should do that instead of French. I'm proud that she stood up for what she wanted to do and enjoyed doing. She went on holiday to France a month ago and people thought she was learning French in France. It helps that she loves speaking French and her school teacher is French. A very proud mum moment.

Happy Birthday to our premium PowerUp Member @Roger Patterson have an amazing day Roger 🥂🎂🎁😎

Yesterday I was swimming in our river and my 2 daughters and my daughter’s boyfriend were hanging out, trying to fish with a rod for the first time, chatting and dangling their feet in the river. Matt was swimming too. It felt like bliss.The only thing missing was Matt’s daughter. Me and Matt had also just had our first night away alone for a while and for us it was a great recharge. Amazing food in a Michelin restaurant we had been sent as a wedding gift and time to be us without thinking of anyone else. A few months ago, it didn’t feel like we would ever sit as that family again. I savoured the moment and breathed it in. What moments do you savour and why?

Happy Birthday, to PowerUp Member @Roslyn Whiting !!! Have an amazing day and way tooooo much cake!!

My hand crafted card from my daughter. She bought me a frog years ago saying it looked like me (charming), then she bought me and Matt wedding frogs and now I have a finger frog card. Her friends are always horrified but it filled my heart with joy and made me laugh out loud. It’s just our thing.
