Louie's Football Journey Starts Here
The countdown is now on until Louie kicks off his football journey and our little whirlwind of energy is so ready to hit the pitch.
Welcome to the Cooke household, where the only thing more frequent than laundry loads are the celebratory shouts of "And Cooke wins again!" (even if it's just a game of tag). We're a family obsessed with sports, and our lives are a constant, exhilarating (and often slightly chaotic) relay race.
Our house is a training ground, you won't find a living room filled with pristine furniture – it's more like an obstacle course for pre-game stretches and rugby tackles that leave a permanent dent in the throw pillows. Whistles blow more often than the kettle, water bottles outnumber teacups, and the loudest cheers erupt not just for professional athletes, but for the epic backyard battles our little (and sometimes not-so-little) athletes wage.
If you're looking for a blog that celebrates the messy, sweaty, and utterly heartwarming world of sports, then grab your water bottle and join the Cooke Clan! We'll share our adventures, tips, and triumphs (and maybe a few meltdowns) as we navigate this hilarious, heart-warming journey of raising a family fueled by pure sporting passion.

Just wanted to give you a quick update on my fitness journey. For the past two weeks, I've been on a bit of a gym hiatus. We took a little mini break to London to watch our rugby team, Warrington Wolves. in the Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, and with all the fun activities and exploring, there wasn't much time for my usual gym routine, although there was a lot of walking involved, which of course i tracked in the MyWellness app.

Hey, it's me again, back for week 3 of my gym chronicles. Three whole weeks! Can you believe it? As a busy mum, carving out "me-time" can feel like finding a unicorn. But we seem to have a rhythm going here and sticking to this gym routine is going well at the moment.

Hey it's me again, back for week two of my gym chronicles. Remember the wide-eyed newbie I was last week? Well, this week, I'm a slightly-less-wide-eyed newbie, but definitely still learning the ropes.

As a busy mum, life is a juggling act of managing schedules, attending to the kids, and trying to keep the household running smoothly. With a never-ending to-do list, it often means putting everyone else’s needs before my own, and it's easy to let personal health and fitness take a back seat.
