We’ve been mostly hanging out together in the living room this week, either with Lego or crafty stuff once all the music and ordinary work is done. One thing we’ve been really proud of and which was a proper group effort, was this rainbow pom pom banner, made partly in celebration of St Patrick’s Day, […]

6 weeks old
So I should be back to normal by now 😉 However, it would be fair to say that while I am indeed a very contented mother, I’m not following, or indeed indulging in, any methods expounded by certain parenting ‘gurus’. Hmmmm. Ben has eyelashes, real proper ones with darkness to them that you can see. […]
Clic Sargent and Scarlett Jewellery
The time we spent hanging over the cot of a desperately sick child was, in some respects, mercifully short. While I would have wished for longer with him, the job of a parent is to try to do what is right for a child and in Freddie’s case, making him stay alive to endure endless […]
Precious.
There is no doubt that we six are on the mend. There is no doubt that Ben is healing our hearts at a speed and pace that nothing else could have other than a time machine and a better outcome for Freddie. Looking at them all baby worshiping yesterday, I said that I felt like […]
Hama Bead OCD moment
I’ve been selling Hama Beads for a very long time now; when I started there was only one other place online to buy them and you had to print off an order form and send it to them. We’d been thoroughly enjoying playing with them for a lot longer than that; the reason I started […]
Lego challenges and face drawings
Max and I went to register Ben today, something that, for simplicity, has to be done in the next town. I wanted to do it here, in the one that the girls were registered at, as only Freddie was registered at the other one and i thought it would be very triggery but in the […]
Foggy headed mumma
Goodness this is hard work. I really wonder how on earth I managed when I had a newborn and 3 under 6 years old and. Business to run. I must have had a damn site more energy than I do now, anyway. Thankfully, with Max at home doing everything else, I can at least just […]
Ning Nang Nonsense Poetry
I’ve got a huge stack of proper educational posts from about last September that I really want to write. They all seem to be stuck permanently in draft waiting for me to take photos or upload videos or goodness knows what. It’s annoying that the most educational things we’ve done over the last 4 months […]
Mothers Day Card Crafts
This year I thought it would be good to reclaim Mother’s Day, given that last year it was right up there with one of the saddest ‘ignore it’ days of the year. I know the girls and Max found it hard to know how to deal with it. Given I’m also trying to get back […]
This new life.
Ben is one month old now and the enormous stress of the early days is lifting. The relief of the changes in him after he reached term was enormous. He’s still a very snoozy, and occasionally twitchy, baby but he’s awake gradually more and more and when he is, he’s alert and lovely. In the […]
