Not the most flattering photo, what with the gloomy weather and no make up, however this photo marks a milestone nobody, including me thought I'd achieve - DRIVING! Here I am, 31 years old with #MuscularDystrophy driving a beast of a van that's going to be life-changing for our family 😱💪. All thanks to the @motabilityoperations who make these dreams a reality for disabled people across the UK! With the help of a senior assessor, specialised in adaptive controls. I drove 12 laps in a #MercedesSprinter using #SpaceDrive controls (a joystick in each hand that controls almost everything). 2020 couldn't of gotten off to a better start!! #Motability #Driving #DisabledLife #DisabilityInclusion #Bloggers #WeWereHere #LearningToDrive #WheeliesAroundTheWorld #ConfidentWomen #BelieveInYourself

We enjoyed building #GingerbreadHouse kit from @morrisons so much last year, that we went and bought the same kit again this #Christmas as soon as we saw it! Perhaps it's unintentionally become a bit of a family tradition... 🤔🎄 . Not bad at all for £4 aye?! .

Probably the only time we'd allow Haribo for breakfast is when these pair are elfin' around 😜 Note reads; "While Tinsel stayed toastie in bed, Holly fancied something sweet instead... There's enough to share. We won't tell if you don't! Shhh!!! H & T xx" #elfantics #sweettooth #elfontheshelfideas #elfingaround #elvesofinstagram

Reading to our elves Holly and Tinsel, and the toy soldier of course... . #elfontheshelf #4yearsold #christmasiscoming #elvesofinstagram #ChildhoodUnplugged #PBloggers #magicofchildhood #childrenarethefuture
