Patch Of Puddles

This week we learned….

by

That Maddy is a stop motion animation genius. There are 700 photos in that clip, all taken on my iPhone with no help (and only a Lego built stand for it) and all the timing comes from her singing the song in her head as she did it. I put it into Windows Movie Maker […]

MADs and Maternity Wear

by

In 4 days time I’m off to London for the MADs Awards ceremony. For me, getting into the last 5 or 6 in two categories was winning really; I’ve not got anything like the following of lots of my fellow finalists and I’m not very prize motivated either really. Getting those votes and getting to […]

Thoughts on school.

by

Fran made it through her first week at school with her soul intact and a smile on her face 🙂 The pace of 3 lessons a day seems to suit her well enough, although in fact she had several free afternoons this week. As we are not yet in a routine and had some commitments, […]

19 Weeks Pregnant

by

Marmite has made it to 19 weeks and is still going strong 🙂 Yesterday my consultant and I agreed I am now half way. We have a date that should be Marmite’s birthday and a plan of sorts. The plan falls somewhere between mental health padded cell accommodation for me and the best and most […]

Tommy's 5 Point Pregnancy Plan – Make a difference.

by

I have walked out of a maternity unit leaving my dead newborn son behind me. I have driven home, unaware that I left the building in my pyjamas and walked across the car park in socks and stared blankly at the car in front for a 20 minute journey home; that car had a ‘baby […]

I'd have got away with it too…

Now we are back in the swing of daily ‘normals’ work, which always leads for a happier household, we’re getting much more done in general. I like it when we swing back into these productive periods of time; even doing sensible if slightly boring stuff first thing in the morning tends to make the day […]

Excellent with Irritations.

by

We are having a pretty good week, for a last week when all four children are home educated. As of Monday, Fran is a has been 😉 She’s been working quite hard this last few days, finishing off some of the formal work she’s done over the last little while, doing a bit more cello […]

Kidding Myself

by

Having let myself think it would get easier when I started to feel movement, I’m now finding it isn’t easier at all. This baby goes through phases of movement, which my head knows is normal, but my heart isn’t dealing with that at all. Yesterday, for the first time, I found myself thinking “we aren’t […]

School's a-coming

by

Fran starts school next week. Although the reality of how much I will miss her is sinking firmly in, I’m still feeling very positive about it. It seems she is too, though she isn’t saying much. If asked, she says she is looking forward to stretching herself to a new challenge, which I like and […]
