Charlotte Louise Taylor Mama of 3. 36. Appreciator of the little things. I'm a 28 year-old, working mother of two. His name is Bill and he's three. My family isn't conventional. As for me?

One smiling, happy, brilliant little boy, who makes me happier than I thought possible. And the other is cooking away in my tummy as I write, a baby girl due in April. Bill has a mother and a father, but we aren't together anymore. But my family was made complete when I was pretty much swept off my feet by my best friend. His name is Mark. The guy makes me swoon. Life wasn't how I expected it to b

e - I'm proof that things don't always go to plan. But really, I'm happy just how things are. This blog follows the life of me and my family, a mixture of motherhood, home improvement, recipes destined to worsen cellulite and memories. And everything else in between. Professionally, I'm a trained journalist and former Group Editor, turned Content Producer. I work for Reason Digital and I get to write for lots of charities and not-for-profit organisations and play a hand in social good, which is brilliant and exciting. I love my job, but sometimes it's nice to put my feet up and write about other things in life too. As well as this blog, and my job, I have a YouTube channel of my own, where I share clips of our life (or things I've just bought). I am also part of Channel Mum, known as 'the honest face of parenting'. You should definitely give them a subscribe! I want to be that mum that proves you can bake your cake, clean up afterwards and share it with your baby too. I think I'm doing an alright job, but sometimes the washing up gets left until later. That's life. You can find me with my nose in a book, my head in the clouds, food in my mouth and my heart on my sleeve. Either that, or sucking my mum-tum in and scrutinising my reflection, singing and cooking up a storm in the kitchen or making my baby do belly laughs by pretending to be a monkey. I'm not a perfect mum. I doubt you'll come on here to be inspired much. But I love to write and it makes me happy. And I'd be quite pleased if you'd join me.

I wanted to wait to post, so I could share an updated photo of this amazing man and our kids. But then Daisy decided to pull that face and then we got photobombed by Mark’s favourite child ever. 😉 But that’s how loved he is.

I got the kids cards where you could answer questions about your dad and they talked about how they love his banter, how he loves football and chocolate and how much they love spending time with him. And I know they will go straight into the memory box he has after today.

Mark stepped up from the very early days and is probably one of the most natural parents you could meet. He dotes on those kids. He is so reliable and so steadfast and they know that he will be in the crowd cheering them on, whatever it is, whatever the weather. He is the dad you tell stories about, and the dad you call in an emergency, or just for a chat. And I’m forever grateful that I get to do all of this with him.

But you probably didn’t read any of this because you can’t stop smiling at our bloody dog. 😂

Mark, we love you so much. Thank you for everything.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. This song reminds me of you, as does Mike and the Mechanics “Over My Shoulder.” I remember once getting petrol as a kid and it came on the radio and we sang along so loud I’m pretty sure the whole petrol station could hear us. I have always loved singing with you - doing shows together remain my fondest memories of you from my teenage years.

You have always been warm and kind and friendly. You are the original green flag, golden retriever man. If we ever lost you when out and about, we’d be sure to find you with an old friend, or often just talking to a stranger. Mum would have to drag you away after a while.

Thanks for being my dad. Thanks for giving me your smile. You also gave me your legs too, and they look great on you, but make jeans a bloody nightmare for me, you ratbag. Thanks for showing me the joy of music, how important it is to be decent and kind, and never shouting at me when I failed my driving test (seven times…) Oh and thanks for being comedy gold. No one will get the cauliflower in a puddle suit photo, but it still makes me die laughing.

Love you. ❤️

S E V E N - Happy Birthday to the little boy with the big heart who completed our family. We love you as much as you love sloths and football. 🦥 ⚽️

Happy World Book Day! 📚

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” - Dr Seuss.

I enjoyed flicking through these photos. I miss the days of having three all dressed up. Bill, as you can tell, as a celebrant of all things fun and has always loved a costume. He still does. I love that about him - he always throws so much energy into things and it makes me smile.

My little Stan is less of a fan these days, but it’s a good job we have a huge collection of football books and football kits that feel a bit more like “him.” As United Fans, Kobbie Mainoo was his number one choice today. He’s a brilliant reader and is a big fan of The Ultimate Football Heroes Series and Dog Man. He always likes to read before bed and it makes me smile.

My daughter, well, enter the true bookworm, ladies and gents. She devours a book in hours and is never happier than when she has a new one to enjoy. And my family will tell you that she reminds you of a certain someone, and that certain someone is…me! As a little girl you’d have to be incredibly interesting to tear me away from my latest book. Daisy has gone as Lottie Brooks who she is absolutely obsessed with and can’t wait for the next book due out in the summer. She even made her own book cover and has no issue with walking around with a crab head on all day. Got to love her for that.

The other photos are just happy snaps from the past that made me smile. I hope you like them too!

Here’s to books - for the stories that they tell, the imagination that they spark, the adventures that they take us on and the lessons that they teach us.

OOTD…

1) Fresh from the school run
2) Coat is (size M), crossbody bag is
3) Shoes are my beloved (these were gifted but I bought myself another colour-way because I love them that much).
4) Jeans Carrot Ankle Grazers (size 14R) and sweatshirt is (size L)
5) Tried to show the back of my sweatshirt because I absolutely love it.
6) Slippers once I’m home. These are that Mark got me for my birthday.

I updated my profile pic - I’d been wearing that pink summer dress for a bloody long time. 😂 But I felt good so I thought I’d post it here too.

Current thoughts: I’m hungry, I miss Daisy’s bubbly energy, Mark’s train is cancelled which sucks, and I don’t want to put laundry away. But it’s *almost* Friday, so I am feeling optimistic!

Have a fab evening all! Enjoy this absolute bop of a song too!

11 years since we decided to take a chance on what we had and I’m so glad we did. I’ve never been loved in the way that he loves me. He makes me feel safe, celebrated, and like I’m the bees knees (when I know I’m most definitely not). He makes me laugh until my tummy hurts, and he has never let me down. I would choose him over and over and over again, because life is infinitely better with him in it. I hope we get to grow old together and have many more years to come. I just really, really love him. And I always will. 🤍
