I’ve been to Stonebridge City Farm today! I love going to see all the animals there. It’s really near our house, so I’m not in the car seat too long, I don’t like the car seat much. There are lot’s of houses near the farm. Mummy say’s it’s because it’s in the city. My Mummy…
Thanks to The Ana Mum Diary I was lucky enough to win a pair of tickets to the ‘Discover a World of Beauty’ event at John Lewis here in Nottingham. I was definitely in need of a treat as I’ve been suffering this week with the aches and pains of pregnancy so I must give…
I did feel ever so sorry for Prince William and Kate this this week as they attended their first Royal Engagement of the year. They joined the Irish Guards St Patrick’s Day Parade at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, and what is it that makes the headlines? Not their on-going commitment to the Armed Forces,…
I was so excited about the weekend as I’d heard I was going to Princess’s house. It was her birthday, and she was going to be 2. I love birthdays. I’m so lucky because I get to go to everybody’s birthday at The Wishing Well. That’s where I live when I’m not visiting the children…
Being in the same room with Princess I get a sense she’s thinking about something else. Her eyes are wondering until they fix on the next thing or thought that might hold her attention. I definitely get a sense she’s to busy to talk to me, but we shall see how it goes. Despite…
In about 10 weeks I’m going to get another one of these! I’m so excited, despite being very uncomfortable at the same time. It’s probably time to start thinking about my birth plan. You can never start too early when it comes to thinking about how you want your labour to look. Some ideas have…
This is a post I’ve been thinking about for a while, now that I’m in the ‘no-fly’ trimester of pregnancy. I’ve been reminiscing over our last major holiday a lot, so when the chance came along to join up with Brit Mums and Visit Wales for the #Wales4Kids Family Holiday Challenge I simply couldn’t resist!…
I had a really difficult time finding a sport that my son liked. I was really keen for him to be fit and active, unlike his less than healthy mother. I also wanted him to be exposed to as many positive male role models as possible, due to the issues he faced with his Father….
This is week 29 of a difficult pregnancy. This week has been very a difficult week! I’m sure I’ve had more pins in me than a pin cushion! My resilience is pretty low any way, so going through the mill lends itself for an unsettled time all round. First it was the midwife, with…
We ended up at the Doctors on Friday. Princess was definitely a little under the weather. A bit of a temperature, lethargic without the aid of legal highs (i.e.Calpol), you know the signs. We ended up in the Doctors last thing on Friday, waiting for an emergency appointment. The visit alone was more eventful than…
Once upon a time there was a little Princess who loved to read. She dreamed of starring in her very own book, with her favourite characters. Her Mummy really wanted to make this happen for her, so she went to speak to the Penwizard because he knew all about these kind of things. He told her…
Mummy says it’s a special day on Sunday 30th March. It’s called Mother’s Day, and it’s when all the children and their families celebrate their very special Mummy’s and Granny’s. Mummy says when I’m older I can make her breakfast in bed and bring her flowers and chocolates. As I’m only 2, I can’t…
I have two very different experiences of weaning my children. When my Teen was weaning 16 years ago, the advice was so different as I’m sure you can imagine. The advice can change from one baby to the next, but in 16 years you might as well be speaking a different language! My Teen…
Having to deal with a teenager has definitely been the most challenging part of my parenting journey. My teen is 16 now, a young adult by all accounts but the last few years have been a challenge. Teen behaviour is a whole different ball game compared to looking after younger kids. I find looking…
This pregnancy has been pretty rubbish really. Since 14 weeks I’ve suffered with pelvic girdle pain. It’s been pretty uncomfortable, and even more immobilising. I’ve also suffered from a significant amount of stress during this pregnancy. With all this combined with the pitfalls of having my 3rd child at 38 I just do not feel…
You may know already that Princess and I have very much enjoyed our Baby Signing journey. After my first post, Baby Signing, it’s a must!, I thought perhaps some Mummy tips might be helpful for anyone who’s thinking of getting started. 1. No Experience Required! You do not need any experience in Makaton, British Sign…
