Snow Days

A bit of an oldie today, a post from December, thinking back to our Winter Wedding: I couldn’t let today go by without mentioning that 4 years ago today me and hubby got married. If you’ve had a look at the weather outside today, this was what we had expected on our big day. Windy, rainy and cold! So we were amazed when, whilst I was getting ready, great big fat snowflakes started to fall. Having an emotional moment when the first flakes started to fall! It was beautiful! But with it came a few minor problems. When bridesmaid shopping…

The A to Z of Me

When the lovely Katie who blogs at Hurrah for Gin tagged me in her A to Z of me post I was quite excited at the prospect. Katie is a fab blogger who always makes me laugh with her posts about family life with her 2 gorgeous boys. This isn’t as easy as it sounds, but here’s a little bit about me. A is for Art, the one subject my mum banned me from picking as a GCSE option, with good reason. I’m rubbish! B is for Beer. The place in Devon, not the drink. We spent many summer holidays…

A Night Alone

Tomorrow night me and hubby are dropping Little O off at his grandparents and heading off on our first night away on our own since he was born. This was booked in 2 months ago and I have been super excited ever since. I adore my little man, he’s amazing, but I’m looking forward to being just a couple for what will be about 24 hours. This is what I’m looking forward to the most: Free reign of anything I want on the menu Little O is at the in-between age where he’s too old for baby food pouches but…

My Teaching Magic Moments

I feel at the moment I’m pretty negative most of the time about what I do and sometimes I need to take a step back and remember why I do this job. I do it because I am lucky enough to work with a bloody fantastic group of kids, who make me laugh on a daily basis and when I’m feeling shit will always put a smile on my face. A few of my fave teaching moments: 1. On a residential trip with year 7 we had to clear the tables and chairs at the end of quiz night ready…

You know you’re a Maths teacher when …

1. You’re out with friends and you automatically get the bill at the end of the night to work out how much everyone owes (and they spend the next 2 years taking the piss if you make a mistake!) 2. People insist on telling you how well their young kids can count at any opportunity. It’s lovely to hear, but when I’m off duty I’m not that interested, sorry! 3. You tell people what you do and their reaction is “I hated Maths at school!” Fair enough, I have my moments when I’m not too keen on it myself. 4.…
