I’ve been following Polly’s Gratitude lists over at The Enchanted Pixie for a while now, and I love they way she takes a moment each week to reflect on her blog for what makes her life happy and complete. I love the process she is going through appreciating all the things, no matter how big or…
So little Pudding is now 3 months old! I can hardly believe it, time is going so fast. We’ve had a name change this month from Tinkerbell to Pudding. Her big sister is called Princess, which completely suits her as she is a little Diva. I chose Tinkerbell to fit with Princess, but it’s becoming…
If you’ve passed by my blog before, you’ll already know there is a big age gap between Teen and the girls, 14 AND 16 years now we have Tinkerbell. Clearly they don’t have an awful lot in common or enjoy the same toys but it’s still really important for us to enjoy family time together. Sometimes this…
After feeling like things were going a little awry with the teenager and the husband last week I decided a family day out was called for, the whole family. We do a lot with the girls and leave the teenager at home quite often. It often suits him that way but from time to time it’s…
Little Tinkerbell is two month’s old today. Where on earth did that go. It doesn’t seem like 5 minutes ago I was posting where we were at on her one month birthday, but strangely enough pregnancy seems light years away. Things are definitely changing, stuff’s getting easier and we are full on in the swing…
We took another trip to our favourite park this weekend with the Grandparents for Princess to enjoy yet more rides on the miniature railway. We took a slightly different path this visit and discovered a sensory garden we didn’t know existed. After reading Kate Fever’s guest post on tips for taking photographs this seemed like the perfect…
Mummy and Daddy kept saying there was a baby coming soon. They said it was in Mummy’s tummy. Now do I look like I was born 2 years ago, really! I played along, to keep them both happy. Sometimes you have to do that with the grown ups, just for an easy life. Mummy’s tummy…
So today Tinkerbell is one whole month old and hasn’t it flown by! I find time really speeds up with children around, I’m so in the moment enjoying them growing up changing nappies, feeding them etc that time just races by. It’s so easy to forget their little milestones so I’m going to do a…
As a parent the thing I want most for all of my children is to be happy. I don’t mind how they get there and I’ll support whatever path they wish to take, but understanding what makes us happy along the way will help them I’m sure. A lot of parents say the same thing,…
When you’re born, I will hold you When you cry, I will comfort you When you’re hungry, I will nurse you When you’re tired, I will lay with you If you stumble, I will steady you If you fall, I will catch you If you’re happy, I will play with you If you’re…
If you’ve read How I Prepared For Labour & Having My First Baby, you’ll probably already know I left a bit of a gap between my first and second child. I would definitely call myself an older Mum this time round at the age of 37. My son is now 16 years old, 6’2”, size…
