About the mummy whisperer
There’s tonnes of reasons why I think Mummy Blogs are fab. I think of a ‘mummy blog’ as one written by a Mum, rather than any other type of person. They may not even be about mummy stuff, but they will still have a particular slant, which other blogs won’t have. You can get blogs […]
So ‘Little Dimples’ (I’m trying out new nicknames for my kids, as I’m getting a little superstitious about using their real names), turned 6 months last week and is now onto FOOD, yay! The question is of course, ‘To Puree or not To Puree’. My decision is to go the rather laxidazical route of the […]
I’ve been a little quiet, a bit preoccupied and not as involved as before. Partially because I’m just plain exhausted. But mainly because I was at times bricking it and couldn’t bring myself to discuss what’s been going on. One day I suddenly got a mega temp, to the extent that my hands were shaking, […]
I’m writing this for three reasons. (Well, I actually started writing it 14 days ago, but have been that exhausted that it has taken this long to finish!). Firstly to share with non mums what it feels like. I’m sorry to do the whole ‘you can’t understand what its like’ card, but seriously, I reckon […]
This week is a perfect example of the dichotomy of a Mum’s life, the confusion between pleasure and pain, all at the same time (you know, like the ‘muller yogurt’ adverts, where there is no pleasure without pain). So my ‘little boy’ spent his last day at nursery. I sobbed as I arrived to drop […]
Have you ever wondered what happened to the girl you used to be, or who you will become, or who on earth you have ended up becoming? I suddenly started wondering about this at the weekend as I watched one of my favourite films ‘Practical Magic’ with Sandra Bullock. I felt a tinge of sadness, […]
Wow, Wibee (little pink/Willow Phoebe) is now 3 months old. I can now pop her in a bumbo and eat at least half my meal without her needing a cuddle. We have reached that magical second milestone, where she’s transitioned through the squeaky, alien phase, into the gradually becoming more aware phase, and is now […]
I’ve just spent two weeks sick, oh my god, since I’ve been a ‘grown up’, I can hardly think of any times that I’ve had to rest and recuperate for so long. Now once I got my head around it, I’ve really appreciated the experience, but initially it was blinking hard, because I had to […]
We often feel guilty, but don’t look hard enough at why, which means it keeps bothering us.
I realised the other day that I could have become a Mum at either 16, 26 or 36, and ironically the extremes of very young or very old suited me best.
