Going back as a student, when you are a mother..

I'm back!! If you have read my previous blog posts, which if you want a good read, I suggest you do ;) Then you can see that I was writing on how I was going back to college for a new career path, I also said I would update you on how it was going, so here I am doing this..

The first day was horrible, I cried so much all the way, they were so excited when I was saying good bye, that it upset me even worse, but as the first term carried on, I started to enjoy it, even though I was missing my gorgeous boys terribly, they were my motivation, to work harder.

I completed and passed all assigned assignments/tests, which is less stress, and I came home to quality time with my beautiful babies. The most positive thing out of it all? They have such a strong bond with their Daddy now as well, as he is with them, when I am in college, Jayden's first word was even ''DADADA'' at 6 months old! Of course, they had a strong bond beyond, but there is just something magical of me seeing them all play together, receiving photos of how much fun they are all having!

I always ramble on about how much I love my family, but it is because I really do! Even though waking up is hard to going to college, I have that motivation to do it for my babies. Every Mother has to go back to work some time, and even though it is hard to say good bye, it's even better when saying Hello again, and they have time to miss me, so when they see me, they are even more excited.

So overall, the first term has been amazing! With a massive load of secret tears (off me), but it's all normal, and better for all of us in the long term..

Pendine Sands Holiday: Diary

We, as in me and Callum, booked the holiday when the boys turned 6 months old, to go on holiday. We looked at a few places and thought that Pendine sands in Tenby would be an amazing idea, as it's close to the town center and Folly Farm..

On the monday we arrived, and walked around, whilst waiting for a caravan, we had a cup of tea and then decided to hit Tenby as it was still a few hours, and who like's waiting around? So we went for some lunch in this lovely little restaurant, if I recall, it was called the boathouse. It was amazing and at such a lovely price. 

The boys were so happy, it was like they could sense we were on holiday. 

After Tenby we got back, we got our keys. The caravan was small, but nice. We decided that we would unpack and feed the boys and head off to the entertainment,

by at this time greedy Callum, was ready to eat again, he had some chips and the boys fell asleep, so we didn't think it was really fair to wake them up, so we headed off to the caravan, lit the crisp warm fire and cwtched up.

Tuesday, came fast, and after the boys wouldn't settle, they came in with us, so we was all toasty warm. We were tired, but as it was sunny, we was ready to hit Folly Farm, we had bought the baby carrier, just for this occasion. It went so amazing, they loved being baby carried and got to see all the animals, it's such an amazing experience, seeing the boys so excited and intrigued by all the animals. Jayden loved the giraffes, and Luke loved the monkeys. Their wasn't really anything they didn't dislike. We didn't stay to long as we went round pretty fast, we did have some lunch in the burger bar. Then we headed off,

We then took the boys swimming for their FIRST time and they loved it. 

We had bought these amazing swimming rings, they were kicking their legs and laughing non stop, one thing that really peed me off, was the group of adults acting like monkeys and kept splashing the babies. 

This day was probably my favourite, seeing them experience new things, then night time hit and we went for a costal walk and had a hot chocolate to warm us all up.

Then adult time came, and Jayden and Luke went to bed and me and Callum played cards he made me laugh hysterically, I went to bed that day, very very happy.

Wednesday came and we thought we would head into the town and look around the shops, and grab some food, because the boathouse? was so amazing on the Monday, we decided to go back there and I had the best curry I have ever had. It was to die for.

Imagine now, pulled chicken tikka curry, sticky rosemary rice, and a poppadom. It was mouthwatering. After this we headed back into Pendine for a walk, me and Callum decided to grab a milkshake from the American diner they had, and as night time was hitting, we decided to see if the boys would stay up for the entertainment, so we went and they loved it! They got to meet the main character, Sid the seagull, which they weren't phased by, in fact they loved him. After this the lovely entertainers, put a mat out for them to play on, which they also loved by rolling around and playing with the toys. 

They did then fall asleep, but we brought the grow bags, so we cwtched them in these and the pram and let them. Me and Callum had a pint each,and played some bingo. Which was really enjoyable, to be able to do that. When the singer came on, he started to make the boys stir, so we left and put them to bed. We then went to bed our selves .

Thursday came and my Mum offered to come up, as we only live an hour away from Pendine, so we went for beach walks, had chip sandwiches, and all had a relaxing day. When it came to about three, I said to Callum that should we go home now, rather than the morning, as it would make more sense, as it was getting cold for the boys. So we packed up and was going home, In the car, I had quite an emotional moment. Were the tears were just falling from my eyes, not sad ones, but happy ones, I absoulutey loved my holiday and every memory that was made. I think everyone dreams of there perfect family, but I don't need to dream. My family are perfect and I love them with every inch I can give.
