There are photos of a hot sunny day in 2000/2001 in our photo albums (yes, that’s right, back in the days when photos were PAPER) of our eldest 2 and my brother on a day at Twycross. Back then it needed 3 adults to manage 2 children and Rich counted close enough 😉 I remember […]

Happy birthday baby boy.
There are more thoughtful words I’d like to write but best not done tonight. Happy birthday Benedict. Thank you for the happiest 3 years of my life x
16 years of baby bathtime #voiceofmums
Like many parenting moments, you never realise that ‘this’ is the last time you’ll bath one of them. One minute they are shrieking for you to save them from the evils of ‘shampoo eye’ while you moan at them for still not being able to run (or partake of) a bath without major parental involvement […]
Treat Yourself (25% off Mother's Day Flowers)
Mother’s Day is always a funny thing. For one it comes so close after Xmas and my birthday that there is never anything I want as a gift (well, smelly bath stuff is always welcome) and for a second, getting gifts because I got lucky and got to be a mummy, seems a bit of […]
Soothing Stitches: WIP Update.
Being determined to start the year by getting on top of some of my works in progress has been good for me. I do get irritated by having half finished projects under the bed but I get distracted so quickly. It’s terrible. First to find itself no longer half done is the Dartmoor pillow, which […]
Educating Josie.
“How many people are there in the world?” It’s a pretty typical question for the 10 year old, an age where scale and numbers are beginning to make sense and an understanding of the wider world is something that can be grasped and considered. We talked about there being 7 billion people and about how […]
Nearly 3.
The boy will be 3 next week. Hard to believe that the bump that felt like it would never be born, who became Marmite and who was that terrifying, ever sleeping, jaundiced scrap of a baby for so long, is now a wild, walking, talking, dustbin lorry loving little boy. My Timehop from a year […]
She's that certain age.
I turned 41 this week. That’s well into the ‘I can remember my mum and dad being 41’ realms of “oh my dragons, I’m old” band, right along side, “this means I am 7 years younger than my mum was when I made her a granny” (SHRIEK). 41 is okay. It’s better than dead, anyway, […]
Soothing Stitches: A Year of Yarning Frugally. #UseUpYarnYear
Like most avid knitters and crocheters, I have a yarn stash that would see us through WW3… if only it were edible. My King Sized bed is mainly propped up by boxes of yarn bought for projects that overran or overspilled or never got started or became a work in progress. There is a sizeable […]
Family Time.
We are all counting down to the return to school with dread; it has been such a joyful 2 weeks of family time and we don’t want it to end. At least 3/4 of the girls would happily not go back to school and I’m fighting the urge to agree to it. It used to […]
