So, I have succumbed! Little Dimples was ill a couple of weekends ago, and while she needed to be held and rocked I gave in to the phenomenon that is Glee, and watched half of season 1 pretty much back to back! At one point when she was better she opened her eyes, danced a […]
I’ve been meaning to write about competition for ages as it is a really touchy subject. Should there be competition at schools? Why do some mums compete with each other about their children? But I’m particularly writing today because I was talking to a lovely Mum the other day who was feeling bad about suddenly […]
Curly Headed Boy’s holiday started on wednesday and he is off for 1 month, back for a couple of days and off again! I really look forward to the holidays, but it can be a really difficult time. I’ve got work to juggle, a 13 month old baby who hasn’t understood the concept of waiting […]
I like a bath every now and again on my own (once a month is enough for a chill), but I often bath with the kids. When I was pregnant with Little Dimples baths were my refuge and way of keeping Curly Headed Boy occupied for hours without making the SPD hurt more or get […]
So Curly Headed Boy started in reception last September. I expected it to be a bit tricky, but by the end of the first term he was no happier and it was really affecting him at home. So I’ve been posting about the 7 steps (See the category ‘starting reception‘) that I took to try […]
Do you know what, I’m a big fan of things being a fair deal, giving and receiving, and not being just about a Mum who forgets herself.

Why do people have to disagree with us or have a go at us? Do you ever wonder? Wouldn’t it be easier or nicer if it was different? Or if everybody was nice all the time would it actually not work for us? I know that in this world there will always be as many […]
So it’s a new day, I feel lots better for my rant yesterday, and it’s all sorted out, and rather nicely it’s all made up with the Mummy blogger who started my rant off ((it wasn’t all about her after all, it was just started off there), so I’m very chuffed as I really respect […]
I’m going to rant. If you saw my blog on monday you’ll know that there are a few things that make me want to rant, and this is one of them. Jumping to conclusions and not giving people the benefit of the doubt. I know we all do it. But the mummy world is particularly […]
Music is one of the biggest helpers in my life, especially when I’m knackered, and come down to a kitchen floor needing scrubbing as well as the normal feed 2 kids, get the packed lunch done, and get on the school run in time to not get stuck in traffic. So to all those Mums […]
