Parenting 💑

When your children are teenagers,it’s important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.😊

👯👫👯

Going out for an hour and returning home to find your house looking like your family have been playing a live game of jumanj while you were out.😀

👯👫👯

TEENAGERS..Tired of being harassed by your parents? ACT NOW ! Move out,get a job,& pay your own way, QUICK! While you still know everything!😊

👯👫👯

Silence is golden…..unless you have kids,then silence is suspicious.😀

👯👫👯

Anyhoo in all honesty…I love my kids to the moon and back they have taught me the meaning of unconditional love 💛, So I want to say I love you with all my butt,I would say all my heart,but my butt is bigger 😂

Family altogether 💛

Mothers..believe in us more than we believe in ourselves,do more for us than they do for themselves,worry about us more than we realize pray for us more than we’ll ever know,value is more than anything else in the world,give us more than they can afford,love us more than anyone else can and matter more than words can express.🎆

🎆🌻🌞

We should always love our parents.Sometimes we are so busy growing up and we often forget that they’re also growing old.🎆

🎆🌻🌞

Families are like fudge…mostly sweet with a few nuts.😀

😀😊😂

We didn’t realise we were making memories we just knew we were having fun.😀

😀😊😂

Family..We may not have it all together,but together we have it all.🎊

🎆🎊🎆

Family is where life begins and love never ends.💛

Marriage 💑

Husband’s are the best people to share secrets with. They’ll never tell anyone because they aren’t even listening.

💑

Marriage is a relationship in which one is always right and the other is the husband.

💑

Never laugh at your wife’s choices….you’re one of them.

💑

My hubby said ” you know how you said i know how to push all of your buttons.unfortunately I still haven’t been able to find the mute button” ( cheeky,just as well I love him)

💑

Dear love of my life, I just want you to know how much I’ve enjoyed annoying you all this time. And how excited I am to keep doing so in the future.

💑

The perfect marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.( Luv you hubby, you are my today and all of my tomorrows). 💑

My 2 wee petals 💞

Hi my lovelies,just wanted to share some wee quotes,thinking of my girlies.

💞

My Daughter’s are super amazing and I’m the lucky one because I get to be their mum.

💞

I constantly go between wanting you to be my baby forever, and being excited about all the amazing things you’ll do in this life.

💞

A daughter needs a dad to be the standard against which she will judge all men.

💞

I never want them to think the whole world revolves around them. But I want them to know,without doubt ,that my whole world does.

💞

A daughter is just a little girl who grows up to be your best friend.

💞

Dear daughter’s,If I could give you one thing in life,I would give you the ability to see yourselves through my eyes. Only then would you realize how special you both are to me.👭

Strength 💪

Strength does not come from winning,your struggles develop your strengths,when you go through hardships and decide not to surrender,that is strength.

💪

Never apologise for being sensative or emotional. Let this be a sign that you’ve got a big heart and aren’t afraid to let others see it.showing your emotions is a sign of strength.

💪

Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress.Working hard for something we love is called passion.

💪

I love it when the coffee kicks in and I realize what an adorable badass I’m going to be today.

💪

Believe in yourself a little more, grow through what you go through,forget the mistake Remember the lesson,and always remember you are like a diamond resilient,strong and beautiful 💎

Kilt walk 🏃

April 30, 2018April 30, 2018 notxjustamum18 Comments

Hi all,just wanted to say a big congratulations to my lovely hubby who completed the kilt walk yesterday,in Scotland this is a walk wearing a kilt,however this is not compulsory, firstly you nominate a charity of your choice,which in this case he chose a children’s hospice named (CHAS), then you register to do the walk.

9am Sunday 29th April 2018 I dropped John off at Glasgow green which is next to the lovely historic People’s Palace established in 1889 the palace was intended to provide a cultural centre for the people of Glasgow and was designed by the city engineer Alexander B McDonald.At the opening ceremony Lord Rosebery stated ” A palace of pleasure and imagination around which the people may place their affections and which their memory may rest” he declared the building open, I better stop now or I could just keep nattering on. Anyhoo the walk started at 9:30am (Glasgow Green) and ended at 6:30pm Balloch, the gateway to Loch Lomond.

Yee haa 23miles later he completed the walk,with blistered feet, and feeling exhausted he was just so happy that he raised £600 for his chosen charity.

When my wee girlie and I brought him home he went straight into a relaxing bath & then something to eat. He later fell asleep on the chair with cat on his knee both snoring.( I really need to get some ear plugs) he he.

Anyway despite the snoring a big well done hun you really are my hero and a super 🌟 luv Dx ❤
