Why I Took A Year Off Writing My Blog

Welcome to 2018 Mummy To The Max Blog...
Did you wonder where I had been? 
Did you feel unloved? 
Did you wonder if I was ever returning?

I Made Friends At The School Gates....


At the start of last year, I accompanied Maxwell to the school gates feeling nervous, scared and worried. Not only was I scared about my son starting school but I also felt awkward towards all the other parents there. I hated meeting anyone different and I always felt people were judging me.

Personal Bucket List 2017

Personal Bucket List 2017

2017 is going to be a year where I try and take a little more time for myself. For the past 6 years I have felt like I have put my family in front of me and I have not achieved anything which I have wanted to complete. This year is a year where I have plenty of hopes however I am a little scared of failing.

Mothers Day Gift Idea - Truprint

On Sunday the 15th of March it is Mothers Day. It is a day that I love to celebrate not only with Maxwell but also with my mum. Over the years I have gifted my mum some presents that she has really enjoyed however this year I was looking for something which I could gift her that was unique, thoughtful and something which she would love.




This year I wanted to gift my Mum something personal and I could not think of anything better than gifting her items from Truprint. Truprint is a online shop which lets you create unique gifts to others by using personal photos. Truprint has many gift ideas to offer and I believe there is something for everyone to enjoy on their website.

First of all I decided to pick a canvas to gift my mum. I came up with the idea of choosing several photos of Maxwell and creating a large display of them. I decided to make the photo's black and white and added a black boarding to the canvas to ensure they stood out. When the canvas came I found the canvas to be of great quality. The canvas had a sturdy frame and the pictures on the canvas looked crisp and sharp. The canvas came with hooks. I thought this was a great touch as it would enable my mum to hang the canvas on her wall straight away.


Next I created my mum a key ring. I know my mum has several sets of keys which she carries around so I thought it would be nice to create her a new key ring which would take over one of her outdated ones. I loved the key ring when it came and I shall be purchasing one for myself in the next few weeks.

Finally I decided to create her a notebook which featured a photo of Maxwell on. My mum often carries a notebook around with her to jot bits and pieces down as well as using a notebook to create a shopping list so I thought this was perfect for her. The notebook has a thick front cover and inside the notebook has lined paper.
