I haven’t written about the Breastfeeding pain I’ve been experiencing on my blog, and I thought it was important to update you about the fact that breastfeeding isn’t going so well for Brook and I right now. It’s partly because I’ve found myself falling out of love with breastfeeding, and I haven’t wanted to dwell…
I’m not going to try and convince any of you that I’m some kind of green-fingered goddess, I have far to much respect for you all! I do however like my garden to look nice and tidy, I enjoy spending time in it, especially when it’s looking presentable. With a young family, we get a…
Princess turned 3 last week, and she had been waiting for this day for about 6 month’s. It wasn’t the birthday, per se, but the idea of a party that had captured her imagination. She’d been to a few now, and was looking forward to one of her very own. We haven’t had a…
Mum and Dad have had this awesome idea. They want to take us all to a festival thingy where we hang out in a field and I get to wear my wellies all day! I love my wellies, so it sounds pretty cool to me. I think they called it Wychwood, but no witches live…
It’s been all over the headlines this week that recent research has suggested that one of the benefits of breastfeeding is increased IQ later in life. The study also suggests that the breastfeeding advantages may include having a higher earning potential and study for longer when the baby grows older. These are interesting facts, that…
With Mother’s Day and Princess’s birthday being so close together I was keen for us to have a day out the whole family would enjoy. You might already have picked up from my blog my daughter loves trains, but she’s the grand old age of 3 now and never actually been on one. I think…
Recently the lovely folk down at Scoff Club got in touch and asked me if I wanted to try their new subscription service. When they said it was to have a box of tasty retro sweets sent to my door every month, I got myself signed up straight away. From that moment on I was…
We have been buying tickets to go to the Children’s and Families events at the Djanogly Theatre since September last year, and everytime we go we have been buying the tickets for the next production. Last time I was feeling a little rushed, and made a snap decision to by the family tickets to the dance…
Being active on Twitter is essential if you want to make it in the world of social influence. It is open to practically everyone and if you are on there due to your business, you are going to want to make a good impression on your customers/followers, meaning that you may want to look into…
As a busy Mum, I really look forward to Mother’s Day arriving. It’s a chance to spend some quality family time together enjoying each other’s company, as well as having a well deserved rest away from the day to day chores.
This week has been a bit of a rubbish week. My head had been well and truly buried in the sand when the letter arrived. There had also been an email. With head well and truly ripped out of its hole of denial, it seems that it is decision time. Life is about to change…
Spring is finally here. The sun is shining and the days are slowly getting warmer and longer. We can all finally start to emerge from our winter hibernation and start making the most of the great outdoors and open spaces.
OK, so there has been lots of talk recently of giving something up for Lent. If you have, what did you give up? Was it chocolate, maybe bread or was it your favourite tipple? How are you fairing with your 40 day challenge? I hope it’s going well and you’ve stayed on that wagon.
Mum’s have such a hard time. Their little bundle of joy arrives, with quite a bang, and then goes and forgets the instruction manual. Oh dear, what can possibly go wrong. Everyday is a minefield trying to decipher whether they need a nappy change or they are hungry, or in desperate need of a nap….
Simple macaroni cheese that even a teenager could make
I haven’t met a Mum yet who isn’t a little bit nervous about flying with a baby for the first time. It’s completely understandable when you think about it. There’s negotiating check-in, the airport lounge, take off and all whilst hoping your baby doesn’t become upset and you can tend to all their needs during…
