Video Wed: A New Way To Look At Creativity

Video Wed: A New Way To Look At Creativity

So did I mention that I’m on our first ever family summer holiday?  Yep, a couple of times maybe?  I’m hoping that at some point during this holiday I will have been able to watch the film or read the book ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ by Elizabeth Gilbert.  I know that some people love it and […]

Problem Corner: Tips for dealing with being intimidated by other mums at toddler group or school gate

Agony Aunt for Mums

A lovely Mum I know posted the following tweet oneday ‘Hate that I’m intimidated by toddler group. Need to grow some balls. Figuratively speaking.’ so I offered to do a question corner post for her, because what she doesn’t know is that we are all scared shitless of walking into those places (well 99% of […]

What makes a Man sexy?

I’m sure that if there was a 100% answer to this it would be worth millions, especially if it was just from a touch of the button, or from buying a gadget! I’ve been reading up a lot recently about sex, it must be my mid-life crisis, just about to turn 42 thing!  It started […]

Video Wed: Cup Half Full, Half Empty or Filled Half Way?

Video Wed: Cup Half Full, Half Empty or Filled Half Way?

So I was chatting with Curly Headed Boy in the car the other morning about how to look at life.  I got him to imagine a glass of water that had been filled half way.  Then I said ‘Is it Half Full or Half Empty?’.  Because both are true.  But it is also true that […]

Men, did you miss an opportunity for sex with your wife?

Arguing Couples

At the weekend I was pointed to a blog by a guy called ‘Athol Kay’ about making sure you still get sex as a married man by the Daily Mail; yes I admit it, sometimes I skim the front page of the mail’s website for fun or annoyance.  I’m so going to have to blog […]

Selfish Benefits To Extended BreastFeeding

Selfish Benefits To Extended BreastFeeding

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.  Ironically, that’s one of the reasons why I’m a fan of extended breastfeeding (that is after 6 weeks or 6 months, which is often considered more ‘normal’).  (Please […]

Turning my noisy head off

Fibro fog

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 […]

New Day, New Outlook

New Day, New Outlook

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 […]

A Dash Of Benefit Of The Doubt and a Mirror

A Dash Of Benefit Of The Doubt and a Mirror

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 […]
