The other day I was on BBC3 Counties Radio chatting to Iain Lee about wether you are ever to old to be a Mum. Check us out here: I’m and ‘older mum’ Living in Hertfordshire means that there are lots of ‘older mums’. Whereas when I fell miraculously pregnant with Curly Headed Boy at […]
This post is being written as part of the blog prompt for #DoSomethingYummy from Typecast which is the campaign for CLIC Sargent Charity for children with cancer. It hit a note with me because just after Little Dimples was born I had a cancer scare for about 6 months. The terror that hit me was immense, but there is one thing […]
It’s amazing what you can find in Tesco’s; I found a 73 year old, Irish grandmother with a huge heart. She cares for Little Dimples while I work, gives Curly Headed Boy the security of a nearby grandma, and supports me in the way that my Mother would have wanted to if she had been […]
I reckon I know ‘How to be a good mother’. Mind you I don’t reckon I get it right all the time. But I do think I know what I did when I don’t get it right. Ironically, I was approached for that Channel 4 program with Sharon Horgan on ‘How to be a good […]
Two weeks ago I went to the doctor, it had taken me months to get sorted and I had a couple of quite important things to talk about. The first was some pain in the back of my head, and the doctor was insistent that it was nothing to do with an infection I had […]

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 […]
It has been officially announced this week that I am a Yummy Mummy! And the source and reason means that you are too ;o) I’ve never had a problem with the title ‘Yummy Mummy’, it’s just that looking around me in St Albans, I never classed myself as such, because there’s a hell of a […]
I’ve been meaning to post for ages about how the whole baby led weaning went on, having asked people their opinion on whether to be a purist or mix it up a bit. In the end I’m rubbish at following any kind of technique, so I just did what Little Dimples wanted, which was no […]
I watched an amazing TV program a couple of weeks ago, and have been meaning to post about it for ages. It was all about black bears in America, so it had big time cute factor. But then it had the most incredible story about a Mummy bear. I’m particularly fond of black bears having […]
