I am not even embarrassed to admit I'm hiding from I am not even embarrassed to admit I'm hiding from the world today. Everyone is TOO angry and TOO stressed and I don't have the energy for it. ⠀ ⠀ Instead let's enjoy this selection of *gorgeous* images that come up when I search for "selfies" in my iPhone library. ⠀ ⠀ #selfies #motherdaughter #notphotogenic #ohdear #parentingtips
**GIVEAWAY** Sending love to all the parents with **GIVEAWAY** Sending love to all the parents with teens who are stressed about exams, missing their friends, fed up about cancelled sports and no parties to look forward to.⠀ ⠀ To add a bit of fun to a rainy Monday, I'm teaming up with the lovely Jen from @muminthemadhouse to give away a £25 Starbucks card plus £25 to spend at John Lewis. It's the perfect excuse to treat your teen (or yourself, because you definitely deserve it). ⠀ ⠀ ⭐❤ 𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐘 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐘!! ❤⭐⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ✅ To be in with a chance of winning just like and save this post ⠀ ✅ Follow @thesallywhittle and @muminthemadhouse ⠀ ✅ Leave a comment and tag a friend who’d love to win (each comment = 1 entry)⠀ 📲 Bonus entries - share this post to your story or grid and tag @thesallywhittle ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ GOOD LUCK everyone!!!! 🍀⠀ ⠀ T&Cs⠀ This #giveaway will end November 16th 2020 at midnight. The winner will be chosen at random and announced within 24 hours on this post. No cash alternatives will be given for this or any other prize. This is not sponsored/endorsed/ or administered by Instagram. Open to the UK only!
Five years ago today we were in Jamaica. We got up Five years ago today we were in Jamaica. We got up early to watch the sun rise and I remember thinking how amazing the sky looked and the soft light on the water just seemed like... magic. ⠀ ⠀ Flea found this shell and asked to keep it. And I realised it's still on our kitchen windowsill, but I'd quite forgotten where it came from. I'm not sure keeping shells is allowed these days, but I'm glad, because now when I look at it in the coming weeks, I'll be reminded of a really happy moment when the world felt safe, and full of possibilities. ⠀ ⠀ #jamaica #beaches #ochorios #familytravel #sunrise #beachlife #familytrip
Flea's Dad LOVES to tell her that I'm uncultured. Flea's Dad LOVES to tell her that I'm uncultured. He's always sending Flea links to classic books and movies with the comment, "Obviously your MOTHER won't be interested". ⠀ Part of me thinks he's just jealous cos I have book smarts *and* I can build furniture. But then I remember he brought a 700 page book about Stalin on our honeymoon and I brought something called Rachel's Holiday that I think had a watermelon on the cover. I can pretend to be smart if needed. I have an MA in American and English literature. I can quote Shakespeare. I have read most of the *important* books and can name drop films from the French New Wave. But I also love Hallmark Movies and the Vampire Diaries. I like Calvin & Hobbes cartoon strips and YA novels. ⠀ Are you highbrow? Or do you find - like me - that in a tricky old world, there's a lot to be said for enjoying escapism and uncomplicated happiness?
My name is Sally and as a parent of a teenager my My name is Sally and as a parent of a teenager my hobbies include waiting around in cars. ⠀ ⠀ I like waiting around in cars outside schools. I like waiting around by hockey pitches. By cinemas. Basically I just like waiting around. Teddy finds it exhausting. For me it's a daily thrill that gives my life meaning and purpose. ⠀ ⠀ I especially like waiting when I let the car battery go flat while waiting for hockey to finish because then I have to go online and order a jump starter from Halfords for someone to pick up for us the next day, because have you SEEN the prices the breakdown companies charge these days? ⠀ ⠀ My other hobbies include being a waitress in my own home, and I'm a part-time motivational coach. "Come on, a little revision now saves a lot of panic later!" ⠀ ⠀ #parentingteens #westie #dogsofinsta #parentingtips #hockey #flatbattery #carproblems #yesiamanidiot
I've got about a billion photos on my phone from o I've got about a billion photos on my phone from our weekend away. ⠀ I took a few extra because I had in mind that I wanted some photos to frame and print - one for our hallway, and the other for my bedroom. But now I really need to go through and delete the 999,000 I don't want to keep. SUCH a faff! ⠀ ⠀ In other news, I have found a cosy hat that doesn't slide up and make me look like I have a nipple on my head. I know I'm middle aged because I can't WAIT to tell you I got it for 30% off in the sale at Mountain Warehouse *and* I had a 20% off discount code so it cost something like £3. I feel like if you're my people, you'll know this is the most exciting thing that's happened to me in months. ⠀ ⠀ #hats #highlands #arisaig #problemwithhats #hathair #momswithcameras
