So I have mentioned in a post a few weeks back that Curly Headed Boy wasn’t very happy in reception (first year of school). Last week I explained how I had tackled one of the problems, which is that he often feels overly criticised by the children in his class. So, I thought I would […]
Curly headed boy was making funny faces, and I couldn’t resist the urge to tell him that if the wind blows, his face will stay like that. He looked incredulously at me, until I pointed out that people who smile a lot, tend to have smiley faces, and people who are grumpy a lot, tend […]
Are you a Mummy Blogger, Coach, or have an email list that is likely to have Mums on it? Do you like the message that the Mummy Whisperer stands for (see below for a quick reminder!)? Do you fancy helping to let other Mum’s know about me? Would you like to be fairly recompensed for […]
Oooooh, I’m a ‘proper’ writer, I’m a ‘proper’ writer!!! Can you tell I’m a little excited? Many years ago I did Maths, Physics and English ‘A’ levels, because as a girl if they saw any sign you could possibly do science, they heavily ‘encouraged’ you to do it in my school (there were still only […]
I’ve mentioned in a previous post that Curly Headed Boy is struggling with his first year at school a little, but we have a plan in place to work on it, and I promised to mention the different things I try, so here is one of them: He happens to be on a table with […]
I mentioned the other day that I’m a fan of decluttering. I also have a serious guilty pleasure; boxes (I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE boxes!), but also includes to shelves to put them in/on! So Ikea is my heaven on earth. I can spend a whole day in there, especially as I love the meatballs, yum. […]
We are a bit like plants, and our children are too. Some environments help us to blossom, and some are more of a struggle. Put us in the right soil, with exactly the right amount of cold, heat, and water, and we’ll take off like a tree and blossom amazingly. Put us in a place […]
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 […]
