To my Little Cherry, I can’t believe I am writing this to you on your 2nd birthday. The last two years have gone so quickly and yet I can’t remember my life without you in it. From the moment you were placed in my arms, you changed my life for the better. I always knew [...]

What a night for Halloween (or Hello-ween as Little Miss Sunshine says!) It is wild and windy out there and apparently there’s a full moon – you can’t tell ’cause of the rain. We don’t actually go a bundle on Halloween in our house as although I’m happy to have the trick or treaters knock [...]

Last week was the geekdaughter’s first half term. A whole week off school after her first seven weeks of attendance. She’s been getting on really well at school, and I am really proud of her. Like this?Read more… Recommended by geekmummy

I kept hearing that it would be much easier for us to cope if our children got chicken pox whilst they were young. Apparently the younger they get it, the better it is for them. But what about for us? So Wee Z, aged 5, got chicken pox 2 weeks ago now. I was actually [...]

What has made me happy – week nineteen. Well what a week it has been! I finally feel like I am getting in to the swing of things with university. Spending last Wednesday reading at home made me feel more optimistic about this term and managing to fit everything in! I am also learning to [...]

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a Halloween party ready without including any scary things? Kinda defeats the object. Missy G and I both hate scary things. Scary movies irritate me, rides that leave you wanting to throw up baffle me, and I just about manage to not go into [...]

It seems we have quite a few of these in our house. They’re the kind that take up loads of space, but no-one dare talk about. Dave-the-therapist thinks it’s about time we talked about some of these elephants. He also thinks that until we do, Mini won’t be able to move forward. Truth be told, [...]

Well. It wasn’t supposed to happen just yet. I’ve made my final school run. No longer shall I routinely tread those well-worn steps towards ‘the gates’ of a morning, and back again, come the afternoon. It’s crept up on me suddenly, this game changer, and earlier than I thought. Like this?Read more… Recommended by I’m [...]

I wrote my birth story up for Maternity Matters last week, and when I posted a link to it on Facebook, it prompted a very interesting discussion in the comments. It seems I’m not the only person who has been told not to ‘complain’ about a difficult birth experience, because I ‘ended up with a [...]

Four whole months. That is how long Big Bro spent the first precious months of his life, in hospital. Looking back now it hardly registers just how long those four months felt – something more akin to four years and that’s no exaggeration  Those long hours of waiting by the side of his cot, talking to [...]

For the last couple of weeks my little girl has been shouting out in her sleep several times a night, but after a few seconds has settled herself back down each time. However the other night we had a major episode and I have to say it did upset and shock me a little bit. [...]

Boo is not sleeping. This is serious, I mean how the heck am I supposed to look even the slightest bit human never mind function like the rest of mankind if I’m to expect nine hours sleep in five days. Yes you read that right; forget match sticks I’ve got one hundred year old majestic [...]

When I was little I hated sausages! You remember the kind? Back in the day when they were full of gristle and floor scraps unless you bought them from the butchers. No matter how much I told my mum I didn’t like them, she still forced me to eat the wretched things. But back then [...]
