The 5th Birthday Bake

The brief - "Hulk in a Fast Car"...

Instagram

After a fabulous family summer, we begin our 2 week stint without Monster then just a couple more days before schools back in September. It’s always a very strange goodbye - honestly we’re knackered and could really use a rest but we’re so used to having the little man round 24/7 that being without him is super hard..... And then we have to deal with his first day of year 2 - I have absolutely no idea where the last 5.5 years have gone!! #bittersweet #stepmom #stepmum #blendedfamily #stepson #summer #summerholidays #missinghimalready #familytime #family #love

Almost every week with Monster somebody makes the assumption I am his Mum. How I react to this has varied greatly depending on our relationship, where we are, who’s asking, how confident I’m feeling... and many other things! My latest blog is all about those moments I have suffered “step-mum imposter syndrome” #linkinbio #stepmum #stepmom #blendedfamily #unmarriedstepmum #myboyfriendskid #impostersyndrome #confidence #family #stepfamily #stepmumblog #stepmomblog

I’m SO excited, this weekend we get to take Monster to my home town for the first time for his first “family event“. It’s a very happy coincidence that it’s falls on our weekend, fingers crossed 10 hours driving in a weekend doesn’t have too much of a hangover! #homewardbound #cominghome #family #stepson #stepmum #stepmom #blendedfamily #excited #sleepinginthecar

True words! Protecting your happiness and health is THE most important thing and recognising when relationships are toxic and taking action to change or remove them is SO important no matter the convenience or discomfort. In blended families it sometimes seems the potential for toxic relationships (family, friends and others) is 100 fold. Never forget you cannot pour from an empty cup and the impact on your health will impact those you love most too. #toxicpeople #putyoufirst #mentalhealth #wellbeing #family #loveyourself #unmarriedstepmum #stepmum

🥺😭😭 First week back at school is tough! Although to be honest so is the first week back at work after the Christmas break! We’ve probably all felt like crying into our dinner at least once this week... and cutting a fried egg IS pretty boring 😂 #overtired #backtoschool #imnottired #earlymornings #routine #stepson #stepmumlife #stepmom #unmarriedstepmum #5yearsold #kidstagram

So Monster has discovered Pinterest.. at 5. Beautifully, he created a board just for things he thinks I will love (I had ones for him and his daddy). However, he has also pinned this cinnamon and turmeric milk on ALL my boards from sewing to baking to gift ideas.... and thinks he’s hilarious... help!! #stepmumlife #stepmom #stepson #pintrest #deleting #lettherebeorder #5yearsold #turmericmilk #givemestrength
