The Menopausal Monster and Other Problems

I have three kids, a husband and hot flushes! Not to mention a man-eating tortoise and troublesome plants. This site documents the ups and downs of REAL family life. Disclaimer: I love my children and husband dearly and they are all safe and well-looked after. Some of these stories, whilst reflecting true life events, are written with my tongue firmly in my cheek, so be kind.

I’d completely forgotten I’d pre-ordered this, so it was a lovely surprise to come home to the other day (especially as I’d had an argument with one of my teens that morning). Perfect book to enjoy with a glass of wine 😀

Read this book today. I can highly recommend it. If you are the parent of teenagers you will definitely relate. It has made a lot of the frustrating behaviour make sense and made me realise none of it is personal 😀#teenagers #parentingteens #momlife #mumlife #realfamilylife

There is nothing worse than hot flushes whilst trying to cook. By the time I sit down to eat, dripping with sweat, my appetite is gone. So I got myself a mini tower fan that is curved at the back to sit perfectly in the corner of my kitchen worktop, right next to where I cook. Bliss 😀 #hotflushes #hotflashes #midlife #midlifewomen #realfamilylife

We went out walking a little later tonight so it was dark and spooky. Swipe to see what we encountered down a dark alley 🙀🙀 #lockdownwalks #eveningwalk #realfamilylife

The weekends in our household have begun to incorporate games night. It seemed like a cheap way of getting the family together and enjoying our lockdown time together. However when pizza and cocktails are added it ends up becoming as expensive as a night out 😂 what new ways have you come up to entertain the family while stuck at home? #familynights #realfamilylife #familygamesnight #momslife #mumslife #kids #parenting

Today I received a surprise box of books from @aboxofstories Apparently 83% of books that are published every year in the U.K. do not receive decent marketing and so stay hidden away from many book buyers. A Box of Stories curates subscription or one off buy boxes of books you may otherwise not have discovered. They also give a percentage of their profits to charities working for literacy. This box cost £14.99 so an absolute bargain. 😀 #books #literacy #literacymatters #reading #surprisebooks #bookbox #booksubscriptionbox #booksubscription
