This has to be the most minimalist hospital bag I have ever packed. Enough stuff to throw in a cupboard without looking if Marmite doesn’t come home, enough stuff to last until someone goes home to get more if he breathes. If he goes to scbu then he won’t need clothes or nappies from home […]
Soldering on.
Thank heavens for daddies that can come home from work when very pregnant home educating mummy can’t take it any more 😉 Today I was all done in by lunch time, to the extent that I couldn’t quite imagine lasting awake long enough to see the broth safely on the table, so Max came home […]
Soothing Stitches: Crocheted Felted Baskets
My overwhelming urges to do creative new things have been somewhat stumped by the huge nesting/decluttering urges and the amount of knitting I’ve been doing for Marmite’s arrival. Having made the squared blanket, I decided the back wasn’t soft enough to be a first wrapping blanket, so I’m making it into a lined blanket (tried […]
The Puddlechicks and allergies.
When people list protection from allergies as one of the many benefits of breast feeding, you should not mistake my derisive snort as being one which dismisses breast feeding in general. I am a passionate breastfeeding supporter, though I have done so with mixed success. It is just that, in this particular house, my children […]
35 Weeks Pregnant.
According to the widget on my phone, I have 35 days to go; I don’t because I know this baby will be arriving before its due date but even so I can’t help feeling that 35 days sounds simultaneously an eternity and an instant. In fact I have roughly the time between now and Xmas […]
Fit for a Princess
We were very lucky to be offered a free sample of a gorgeous Princess Tent to review recently. It’s true our princess days are probably close to over here, Josie at 7 is not especially pink in nature, but I just knew a couple of little nieces who would love it – and I’m always […]
Birthday Girl
Today was my birthday and as usual, I was very spoiled. I got my iPad thoroughly pimped, thanks to a sensible protective Apple and a cute etsy cover, bags of Lush to bathe in, a new phone cover, a handmade pad by Josie and handmade cards from them all and some knitting and crochet books […]
Out with the old.
Blogging has been on the quiet side recently because I’ve been keeping very busy. A year of trying to keep busy, the endless run of taxi driving and then the worry and weariness of pregnancy has taken its toll on the house. Somehow the last couple of months of the year felt even busier than […]
Christmas to now.
I seem to have bloggers block, that and a frantic nesting and knitting and ipad-ing habit 🙂 We’ve been busy though, and mostly happy, though I am finding it harder and harder to maintain any sort of sanity in the face of impending birth of baby. Still, with a maximum of 5 weeks to go […]
A New Year.
The last two years I did a New Years Eve post, one full of hope and joy, one full of anger and despair. This year I didn’t think I would take the risk. In fact, looking back at the festive period this year, I think I got through it all by just deciding not to […]
