Play On The Edge
love this xx
I never thought of being a goalkeeper, it just soo happened to be that I became one . i was a winger when i started playing football. Occasionally at the end of the training sessions, when we had a free game with no ‘keeper, where the deepest player acted as a goalkeeper, sometimes i went into goal because i wanted to see the difference between a player that was on the pitch & a player that was a goal keeper.
It all started when one day our goalkeeper wasn’t present in school and we had a football match. We had no ‘keeper and somebody had to take up that position , but nobody really wanted to. So i volunteered to take the place . I said i would do it for only one match and we ended up having a good game, making some cool saves. And that is how…

Easter fun !!!
Well it’s the Easter holidays and so far they’ve seen two baby lambs be born at the same time , collect 57 small chocolate eggs in an Easter egg hunt and witness the post storm Kate aftermath ….
When i say they , i’m referring to my 2 , 5 & 6 year old sons ( my 14 year old assured me that teenagers DO NOT spend time with their Mothers unless they are going clothes shopping – designer of course !! )
In the exciting process i have continued to snap away with my passion for photography particularly in black and white and capturing memorable moments that will be so special to look back on when my son’s are older.
I’ve captured the laughter , the tears , the muddy puddles , the ice cream and chocolate sticky faces but most of all my beautiful sons in action , having fun and being totally frivalous !!
About
I am Sophia , A mother of 5 boys ….yes 5 boys hence the name to my blog !!!
My son’s are Rex 2 1/2 , Kit 5 , Beau 7 , Brent 14 & Michael 18 they are my life and i’m completely proud of who they are as each one brings their own individuality and specialness as you will duly find out in time !!
I am a single ( and currently unemployed ) parent to these boys , so as you can imagine life can be pretty hectic and there are usually some fun things happening in between all this craziness of which i hope to capture and share with you all.
This is something i have wanted to do for a long time as a lot of people comment on my life and the phrase i hear a lot is “i don’t know how you do it” so i suppose by setting up my own blog page will undoubtedly answer those many people.
Please bear with me as this is all new to me and sit down comfortably with a nice cuppa and enjoy ,

Mother oh Mother !!
So today I was given a cup of tea in bed by my 14 year old ( Mothers Day Treat don’t you know !! )
Some anaemic toast cooked by my 7 year old.
A snotty kiss from my five-year-old and 2 year old .
A couple of bunches of flowers , some Bath Bombs and a Polaroid camera.
Spent the morning watching football (as the dedicated Mother I am !! ) watched the other siblings get caked in mud and my son’s team won 3~1.
Watched a couple of easy watching films ; the diary of a wimpy kid & Home alone 2 whilst I , my ex and my 7 year old took a dose and the youngest ones trashed the living room as they do !!
The plan was to go for some nice restaurant food let’s hope the plan happens and the large glass of wine finally clears this blooming Mother of 5’s headache !!!
It’s official i have a headache !!
So it’s Saturday and i absolutely love weekends as i don’t have the boring school runs to contend with and can be slightly more relaxed about life …..however ,
living in a household full of boys they constantly want to play with a football banging it around so my fuzzy head get’s an even worse headache !!
Kit my 5 year old has been out for yes you’ve guessed it football training this morning but yet he still has the desire to kick a sphere around the living room , why oh why does football give so much joy ??
After 18 years of being a mother to my first son Michael you think by now i would know the answer and definitely after fully embracing everything football related ( bedrooms , kits, training sessions , haircuts , pierced ears – thanks Beckham !! )
well off for a hot shower to get rid of this pounding headache before the second half and extra time starts ……
PENALTY !!!

#100happydays
I decided on Monday 29th February to do the #100happydays challenge so far so good ( well it is only day 5 !!! ) It is a challenge on instragram where you post a photo a day for 100 days and learn to be thankful and thus HAPPY !!
The reason behind this was to ultimately change my frame set and learn to be happy with the life i have , having been through some tough times since December 2013 and through the whole of my life i have finally realised because i’m getting on a bit 41 years ssssh !!! how important life is.
I’m learning to change some old habits and want to blog all my changes along the way ….. i believe i really have set myself up here as i certainly have a few !! ….
Here is Day 5 My 7 year old son Beau as Willy Wonka and my 5 year olds on Kit as Charlie Bucket a great photo captured for their world book day !!
