Sticky Mud & Belly Laughs
A Family Lifestyle Blog

Welcome!


Hi, I’m Jayne and I’m a freelance copywriter and blogger. I live in Staffordshire with my husband Craig, our boys Jayden 12 and Joben 8 who is autistic, and our adopted staffy cross bulldog Brucey Babes!
This blog covers an array of topics but predominantly family lifestyle. I like to keep it real, no BS, just living life with my family, trying to do our little bit for the planet, making memories and having plenty of laughs along the way.

We still have regular meltdowns and the wonderful high pitched screaming when he doesn’t get his way, but he puts in 💯 % when it comes to enjoying life and getting stuck in. ⁣ xxxxx⁣

It’s been a lovely but very hot week! We’ve been enjoying lots of evening walks with it feeling much cooler at that time.

It got me thinking when we were on our stroll. We never pick faults with a sunset do we?⁣
⁣
Like, oh that sky looks a bit rubbish it needs a little more red on the right hand side or it needs more clouds.
⁣
I just stand back and see the beauty and the uniqueness of it all. ⁣

Just like autistic individuals and my gorgeous little boy.⁣
 Instead of judging or picking faults, please look for the beauty within, see the beautiful people that they are. We are all different but every soul is beautiful if it’s allowed to shine. ⁣
