We were recently gifted a gorgeous top from Frugi by the lovely Jennie Edspire recently. Jennie and I have a good reason for being in each others thoughts at this time of year, with both of us bringing up our rainbow babies (and older children) while missing the baby we will never hold. Being nominated […]
Hey Mickey. #review
I don’t tend to buy clothes with characters or branding on them. For one I have no knowledge or patience for ‘labels’ and for two, I really object to paying hiked prices for pjs that have a Disney princess on them. My favourite thing recently has been one of the brands that we sell ourselves […]
Flitting like a butterfly.
One of the problems with being a bit of a ‘plant’ (opposite of completer finisher as opposed to ‘a bit of a vegetable’) is that the internet ends up littered with bright ideas you didn’t finish but that you really should have. One of these is MuddlePuddle which was my first ever site and was […]
I recognise this.
I have a younger brother and sister. We are more spaced out in years than my eldest children are so I was fairly aware of my brother, at least, as he grew up through the stages of little boy hood. There used to be traffic jams by every skirting board snaking their way round our […]
Reasons for having a toddler #487.
I love him, I really do. I love that he is no longer a baby and I love that he’s beginning to grow into someone who talks and has opinions and can comment on life. I love that he has favourite programmes and can express his requirements at different times about what he wants to […]
Peppa Pig's Golden Boots.
Last week Bene, Josie and I had a bit of a half term treat thanks to the Peppa Pig team who invited us to go and watch the new Peppa Pig 10 year anniversary episode at our local Showcase Cinema. Obviously Josie accompanied us only to be part of his first ever cinema trip and […]
I was only just watching him….
I was right there, sat in the room with him, keeping an eye. I only got up for a minute, just to pop some books back on the shelf. Okay, he was a bit precariously balanced but he was quiet, behaving well, busy playing on the dresser edge with something or other. So I just […]
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 […]
A trip to Narnia.
We’ve not had snow here in our town. The line of settling snow stopped 10 miles above us and we only got the tease of flakes that didn’t stay. It isn’t quite winter without snow; last year never felt right because it never even seemed to get cold. Today I cashed one of my family […]
Clever Gifting for 3 Year olds with Older Siblings.
As another Christmas threatens to roll down on the family with the weight of a dumper truck, I do my normal helpless gaze around of the beleaguered mother; first I have to think of new and original gifts for 5 children and then I have to find somewhere to put them. When a little boy […]
