Good afternoon! Some olde time herbal ointment suppository goodness for you, Instagrammers! I’ve been making out like a bandit on FB marketplace recently because I love the old and the unusual. I’ve got to calm down though as this will eventually go in our bathroom - that doesn’t even exist yet! #lovemyhouse #myvintagehome #vintagegoods #facebookmarketplacefinds #herbalointment #antiquehome #fistulawhatnow #planningahead

Summon creatures from the nether darkness and They Will Come. The youngest came home with another creation and it appears she’s moved on to her edible stage. Friends, I give you... Spider Biscuit. #spiderbiscuit #homemadedelights #cheeseandmarshmallows #craftingwithkids #mycrazygirl #independentmind #loverhertobits #disturbingart

I’m afraid, ladies and gentlemen, that my youngest daughter has been at it again. This is the third in her series of saltdough skewered (disturbingly) by various objects. Anyone intrigued by her artwork, and in a position to purchase, should apply to her manager (me) so that we can clear it out of the gallery (mantelpiece) ASAP... #craftingfun #craftingtime #youaintseennothingyet #kidscrafts #disturbingthingsmykidhasmade #mycrazygirl #independentmind #youngartist #creativemind

When you’re such a skinny hound that the right camera angle makes you disappear altogether... #dietinggoals #dietgoals #lurcher #lurcherlove #lurcherlife #lurcherlifeuk #lurchersofinstagram #lovemydog #secretslimpod

The thing that chuffs me so much about this photo is that I found this vase in amongst a box of things that had been stored away in an attic by the lady who previously lived here, Betty. And now it’s stuffed full of a random collection of flowers that we’ve both planted in this wonderful garden! Feels kind of perfect. #lovemygarden #lovemyhouse #juneroses #cosmosflower #viola #anenomes #daisy #mygardenthismonth #mygardenthisweek #bouquetofflowers #oldvase #cutglass #stourbridgecrystal #crystalvase #sunshinethroughmywindow #summerishere #throwback #myhomevibe #myperiodhome #ruralliving #englishcountrygarden

Throw back time! About a million years ago when I was expecting my second little girl and laid out her new sleep suits next to her sister’s 😍😍😍 I was so excited to meet her. But I was already suffering from severe sleep deprivation and had packed the pounds on - there were more to go on too in the sleepless blur after she was born. I was a broken woman. And it’s only just started getting better. For those of you out there still suffering, please read my latest blog over on my website: www.theplummybrummy.com (still not worked out how to link it!). I won’t pretend to offer you the miracle cure but I might be able to point you in the direction of someone who could help. In the meantime, lots and lots of love to those parents and carers suffering from hideous lack of sleep. You need it.
