still obsessed with books, loves dropping things from his high hair and has started to sing to himself 🥺

Anyway, I wore double denim the other day and I didn’t hate it? The jeans were a bit baggy towards the bottom so it felt like a really comfortable jumpsuit 👖

At the end of October I was made redundant from my At the end of October I was made redundant from my job in marketing. I've been working in the industry for over 8 years and I absolutely love it, but that job and my incredibly toxic manager really made me begin to feel like it wasn't for me anymore. 

Since being furloughed anyway, my mind constantly flitted between going back after having Casey or completely changing careers and doing what I had originally planned on doing before I fell pregnant with Isla - and that was teaching.

I felt like being made redundant was just a sign; the push I needed to just apply and just before Christmas, I was accepted into both of the courses I applied to.
Looking back now, I cringe because I was offered a place on the course on my Zoom interview and I promptly burst into tears hahaha, but I wanted it so badly and I'm so proud that I managed to do it.

I've been volunteering in a Year 2 class for the last two Thursdays and will be continuing to do so until they get sick of me tbh, but I'm loving it!

My Primary teaching course starts in September, for a year and although I am so, so nervous, and SO aware that it's going to be ridiculously intense, I'm excited and really looking forward to good change. ✨
looking forward to the day when it's warm enough t looking forward to the day when it's warm enough to wear dresses in our gardens. 🌚🌼

tw: sexual assault I touched on it on my stories tw: sexual assault

I touched on it on my stories yesterday but everything around the Sarah Everard case has brought up a lot of horrible, horrible memories for many people and I truly hope you're okay. 🧡

I've had a sick feeling in my stomach all week about it all and am thinking of Sarah and her poor family, and how much they (and we) are so desperate this nightmare to end, and for her to turn up alive and well.

In 2011, I'd just broken up with a boyfriend and went to visit my old flatmate from first year in SE London. I stayed well into the night, had a few drinks, caught up and left to go home around 1am. My bus was a straight one, stopped right outside the Santander bank  on Walworth road in e&c, but there was a guy on the top deck who kept turning around to look at me - there were only three of us up there.

I got off at my stop, looked behind me to see that he'd got off too and once I'd walked past the bank, I looked behind again and he wasn't there so I carried on. I kept checking and eventually he came back into sight but he was walking at my speed on the opposite side of the road. It was pitch black, no one else was obviously around and he crossed the street towards me whilst I crossed back over to avoid him. 

He skipped back over, and at this point I was literally about 30 steps from my house and he towered over me and asked me if i had a watch and if I could tell him the time (classic). I said no and tried to keep walking, but he grabbed my shoulders and throat, pushing to get me down to the floor. I screamed and screamed and it felt like an age that I was trying to get this man off of me, but I managed to get my arm round and instinctively just went for his eye, stuck the tip of my index finger in there and pushed with as much force as I could to get him off me.

I hurt him enough for him to realise that it wasn't going to work because I was still screaming, he let go and I ran as fast as I could to get home. I've never been more grateful to have @jessicaweston01 and Ash there. We called the police and they dealt with it but after my complaint and one trip to be questioned, I heard nothing else. 

(Continued in the comments)
I feel foggy today - I have so many thoughts whirr I feel foggy today - I have so many thoughts whirring in my head about lockdown, being a mum, work, even Instagram. They're overlapping and crashing into each other and over me so much that I don't get a minute to come up for air. 

Unexplainable anxious thoughts drizzle over me daily, and I can't figure out why I feel the way that I feel??

I love what I'm posting on here at the moment - I have absolutely no idea where I fall, but I like what I share and I'm constantly fighting myself over whether it's what others want to see vs what I enjoy, but luckily I seem to be winning that battle, even if it's not what people care about.

Right now I can't find a minute to finish any task - not even the small things, and I keep shooting myself reminders that I need to soak all of this time up but I also need a few seconds to breathe because all of this, everything, is SO full on. 

It's all so confusing? I don't know, maybe I need to write a list, perhaps the fog will clear a bit then - but here's a carousel of completely unrelated photos I've taken that I like. ✨
Happy 1st March 💐! Taking inspiration from @the Happy 1st March 💐! Taking inspiration from @theleoparduk's list of lockdown joys, here's what I'm looking forward to in Spring: iced coffees, hanging the washing out on the line, blue skies, bright flowers, golden hour light through our bedroom window, the first BBQ of the year, lighter evenings and pink skies, no coats, a teeny tiny tan, sandals, Easter chocolate. 🌚 
What are yours?

milk chocolate cupcakes with oreo icing.

Hello!

tmbrxo

So yesterday I decided I felt like baking. This happens pretty much weekly, as something always tends to stress me out that little bit more than usual, and I find baking quite relaxing; it’s my escape, as ridiculously lame as that sounds.
I decided on milk chocolate cupcakes (with oreo pieces) and oreo icing- which might I add is the beez kneez, if I do say so myself. I think it’s my favourite topping on a cupcake ever, actually!

tmbrxo

I always bake from scratch because I like knowing ‘I’ve made that’ if that makes any sense whatsoever, but a boxed ingredients is absolutely fine. Now, I know I am in no way a master baker, I’m just showing you how I made these!

What you’ll need for the cupcakes (Primrose Bakery style, this is by the way):

3/4 slab of milk chocolate (or dark, I just prefer milk!)
85g of butter (I use Stork)
175g of brown sugar
2 large eggs
185g plain flour (sifted, always!)
3/4 tspn baking powder
3/4 tspn bicarbonate of soda
1 tiny pinch of salt
250 ml milk (semi-skimmed, whole, doesn’t really matter).
1 tspn vanilla essence
1 pack of Oreos

What you’ll need for the icing:

3/4 pack of Oreos
3-4 cups of icing sugar
150g butter
1 tspn vanilla essence
2 dashes of fresh cream

(This is just guessed as I popped everything I needed into the mixer and pushed the button, just add the ingredients one by one to ensure the icing doesn’t go too runny or too buttery!)
—————————————————————————————–

Preheat your oven to 170C and line your tray up with cupcake cases. I used a flat baking tray and put two cases within each other to keep the mixture from spilling over. Break the chocolate pieces into a bowl and melt. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth (I strongly recommend a mixer guys and girls!) and separate the egg whites & yolks, beating the yolks for a few minutes and then popping into the mixture you just made. Add your melted chocolate! Yum yum.

Pop your flour, baking powder, bicarb and salt in another bowl, and put your milk (I put in about 200-220ml) and vanilla essence in a jug together. Now, put a little bit of flour in the mixture and beat. Pour in a little bit of your milk and beat. Now keep repeating this until everything is in (at this point, I crush some Oreos and add them to the mixture too, just to be different)! Now whisk your egg whites until soft peaks form and fold it into your mixture, FOLD, don’t beat! 🙂 Now, fill your cupcake cases (you could put an Oreo in beforehand too), two thirds full I would say, and pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes!

Whilst they are baking, clean everything up and start the icing. Finely crush your oreos in your mixer first and pop them in a bowl to the side. Now, it’s literally just putting the icing sugar and butter into the mixer, then the vanilla essence- beat. Do this bit by bit so you get the right consistency, I’ve had a lot of trouble in the past with that! Add your fresh cream for smoothness, no more otherwise it really will be runny! Take those Oreos you previously crushed and mix in with the rest of it!  

After your cupcakes have cooled down, decorate them with your icing. Of course, sprinkles are an option afterwards too! These cupcakes are super yummy and very good if you’ve got a mega sweet-tooth like myself. They come out super soft too, which is perfect. I enjoyed mine with a mug of tea yesterday afternoon whilst Isla played around in her walker. 🙂

If you try these out, please do let me know how you got on!
