parenting tips or stories about dealing with children and helping them be stronger and more contented.
This is as much a reminder to me as to you! I find that we often don’t think we are successful or clever at something because the stuff we have done well at often comes easily to us. I remember being guilty about revising English, because Maths and Physics was harder. One of my resolutions […]
I have a mental block with posting things. I know I have. I know where it came from too! I can see my Dad on the other side of the dining room table nagging me AGAIN about whether I have sent the Thank you letters for my presents. I have a touch (ok, maybe a […]
I’m not here! I’m very excited to say I’ve done my first ever guest post over at Aly’s ‘Plus 2.4’ blog for her ‘Breast Mates’ posts. The reason why I like her posts is because they show how amazingly different the experience is for everyone, and don’t push the ‘everything else is wrong’ attitude which […]
I normally write a letter about my year and send it out with Christmas cards, but this year I’m too late, so instead I thought I’d write a blog post. Hopefully some of my friends will get to see it. I like writing this sort of thing, its probably very selfish, but it gives me […]
I know that we all have busy lives and so logically we will often not bother to chat to or make friends with people in a situation that doesn’t obviously make sense. But if you are open to it, there are sometimes magical things that will come out of it. For example, you might really […]
When Little Dimples was born I had a theory, that having had a rubbish sleeper who hated cars, I would most probably get a fabulous sleeper, who loved cars, but to balance it out was trickier during the day (curly headed boy was pretty easy, despite a wish to be held a lot). But it […]
I’ve met my fair share of coach/therapist/healer types who were extremely deluded about either their grandiose plans, their skills or their market actually wanting them. There have also been a fair amount if people with a great deal less training and experience than me, who were a load better at marketing and therefore a hell […]
It’s been a weird 6 months, I appear to have been in mega ‘declutter your life’ mode. You would have thought that giving birth to little dimples, and curly headed boy going to primary school would have been enough really, plus getting really sick. But I appear to have been on a mission. Maybe it’s because now I have […]
I’ve unravelled some of my discomfort last week with curly headed boy starting school, so I feel much clearer this morning. Apart from the obvious Rite of Passage, it’s because there has to be a compromise and there is no such thing as a perfect school. Please Note, I’m a very fond mummy, but I’m […]
It’s against everything we’ve ever been told not to do, and everything that a Mother feels is right. But there we all are, handing our children over to someone we’ve hardly met. The only reason I have met Curly Headed Boy’s new primary school teacher is because her son was at his nursery in a […]
