Light and fluffy. Light and fluffy. Must try harder. If this 8 seconds of video doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will 🙂 This is Bene in his new Stokke Sleepi. There is no way we could have afforded this – he would have had a travel cot – but we were gifted […]
Finished it Friday: Ben's Cardigan
I fear I left it too long with this one. I started it when he was a few weeks old and got distracted, thought it wouldn’t matter because he was so small and then he got huge through doing all the feeding that stopped me knitting and now this is clearly only going to fit […]
Review: Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Video Sensor Monitor
You might remember that I posted a while ago about needing to move Ben into his own bed, for the sake of my sanity as much as anything. He slept in my bed on one side of a king sized mattress for the first 12 weeks or so. He’s been a really good sleeper from […]
Night out. All of us. Nearly.
We went to a wedding tonight, the first time we’ve all been at a social event in longer than I can remember. It was nice. I like weddings and this was a lovely one. I’m hopeless at small talk and I hate dressing up but a baby solves both those problems and at least now […]
Wibble wobble, all fall down.
Sometimes being a home educator is completely brilliant. Sometimes is just one extra thing to beat myself with. Right now baby Ben is asleep in bed, which is a good thing as last night I somehow put my back out and, despite costly trip to the osteopath this morning, I can barely move at all. […]
It just ain't penguin, son.
This is our first ‘proper’ holiday with a child in school, if by holiday you mean ‘getting your child back to actually spend time with rather than sending out all day, chivvying her through homework and evening activities and trying to make sure she washes her shirts’. I’ve loved having her about. In fact, so […]
Daffodils at WedEd
Wednesday this week marked a a big improvement in things generally. Not only was I able to drive myself to WedEd or the first time since having Ben but he was also manageable enough for me to be able to get on with being part of the educational offerings again.So this week I brought “Daffodils” […]
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 […]
Mythical Manga Madness!
The girls got a variety of art books for Christmas to join our collection. We have quite a lot of these, which are variously successful, depending on their approach. Maddy has always been out most artistic but really struggles with accepting ‘teaching’ in any form. She feels she should be able to do things rather […]
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 […]
