The Spring Onion

So having had a really nasty bout of the flu last week, missing the start of the spring sunshine to stay shut in the dark and the only thing I actually wanted to consume was ibuprofen, at the end of the week when I started to feel better I was really glad of a good laugh at my son's expense!

I found hitting the medication 1 hour prior to the school run gave me just enough life to survive it! But talking or even looking at anyone else was a no no!  I would like to apologise to any of my mummy friends if i ignored you last week!

Anyway, back to the actual point of this post, the spring onion!

4-year-old looks generally grubby and covered in paint or pen when he gets home from school, and this particular day the little gremlin was sitting beside me and  I did wonder why I could smell what I thought was cheese and onion crisps!

A little later, after allowing him outside for 30 seconds, in the incredibly bright oh my eyes! My eyes! sunshine, to water his little pot of primroses, he returns back inside, tells daddy all about the watering and then produces a spring onion out of his trouser pocket! Says he had forgotten it was in there! So now I know why I could smell onion, and I ask him how long it has actually been in there? 'Only today Mummy, I found it on the school field!'  Thank goodness for that! Thought it might have been in there for weeks!

Much love everyone, I am back in the land of the living! Xx

Maternal Instincts in Print

As I'm sure a lot of my readers who follow my Facebook page know, I been working to turn my blogs into a book, featuring my blog posts as well as some other text never seen before.

Last week I took a leap of faith and put this information out there on the Maternal Instincts, as well as my own, Facebook page, with pictures of the front and back covers included and the question 'to publish or not to publish?'

I couldn't have predicted the response I would get from everyone, such lovely and positive comments including:

Go for it!
That's fab!
Brilliant idea!
and
Well you're a dark horse aren't you!

So here are the pictures of the front and back covers again (they are my proof copy hence the watermark), and apart from needing to amend a couple of typing errors, I am seriously impressed.

My plan is to make this live on Amazon UK in paperback and Kindle, in the near future, so watch this space! 

Thank you to everyone for their support.  This is something that is all mine (apart from the 1 story written by my daughter) and I appreciate every one of you who follows my Facebook page, presses like or share and leaves lovely comments.
