Hello there!


Welcome to the blog!
Written by Emma Shilton, Hello MrsShilts is an established UK family lifestyle blog.

Take a look around and read our latest blog posts all about our busy family life here under the beautiful Staffordshire skies!


My toxic trait is believing I look like this in ev My toxic trait is believing I look like this in everyone else’s photos! 😂🙈🤭

For the record, I know I don’t (I’ve got the evidence!) but a good selfie can make the world of difference for your mood and daily mindset! No filters here (although I do love a filter on my stories!) just a bit of daily make up, a new @scampanddude jacket, glorious sunshine and a positive attitude ✨ 

It feels good to be getting some stability back, I’ve missed it!

Team Plato 🏁💜🔥 What a fantastic launch Team Plato 🏁💜🔥 

What a fantastic launch for @plato.racing this afternoon with the stunning test livery on display 🤩🩷💛

Absolutely stunning car and the inside is pretty special too 👌🏻 the team are proper grafters getting this beauty ready, their hard work is off the charts! Well done lads 👏🏻 it’s nearly time to go racing… so excited! 

Bring on the 2026 season 🔥 🏁

Take a look inside our boys den (aka the darts roo Take a look inside our boys den (aka the darts room / home office) 👀🎯

We converted our garage in 2024 and turned it into a boys den and walk in pantry (see earlier reel) and it’s been a fantastic use of space for us as a family! 

During the week, Greg can work from home when he’s not needed on campus, the boys can play on their games consoles after school and weekends. Greg can get his regular practice in and switch off from work throwing a few arrows at the dartboard and it’s been a really good use of what was just a cold storage dumping ground! 

What do you think? What would you have used the room for?

Reflecting on the week of new beginnings ✨ 1) Reflecting on the week of new beginnings ✨ 

1) a handmade card and daffodils for Mothers Day from Freddie 
2) a ‘welcome to the team’ card and more daffodils on my desk from my new team at my new workplace 
3) a smug happy dance face as I ordered a new jacket from @scampanddude in a smaller size and it fits 🙌🏻 
4) celebrating #IWD at work with inspiring stories and obvs cake 🧁 
5) new routines meaning I’m seeing more of the sunrise but when it looks this pretty, it’s a great way to start the day 

It’s been a week of new beginnings with new routines and I’m pleased with how it’s gone! It’s always nerve wracking starting something new where you don’t know anyone or any of the systems, but it had to be done and I’m just looking forward to settling in properly and getting stuck into some exciting projects this year.

Got my hair did 💇🏼‍♀️ Finally got cha Got my hair did 💇🏼‍♀️

Finally got chance for a couple of hours off mum duty to get my hair cut and have a bit of a pamper. I’m LOVING how much it’s grown over the last couple of years, I’m loving the length and now I’ve had a toner on it, I’m loving the colour too! 

Chances are if you need a reset, head to the hair salon and you’ll feel brand new a few hours later✨Definitely need to make time for myself more this year..

Today was my final day at work 😭 Without quest Today was my final day at work 😭

Without question, it’s the people who have made this chapter so special. The connections, conversations, teamwork and friendships I’ve forged are honestly immeasurable. You know who you are 🫶🏻

While this isn’t quite how I imagined my time here would end, I firmly believe that change, even when it feels uncertain, creates space for new opportunities. I’m leaving proud of the work I’ve done, thankful for everything I’ve learned and confident that I made a positive impact along the way.

I’m feeling optimistic and excited about the possibilities ahead…. and quite looking forward to a good nights sleep! 💤
