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 […]
Hows your underwear doing? Or is that too personal a question? Does it fit? Or do you have a case of the baggy pants or too tight VPL and an extra pair of boobies hanging out of the bra? Would you be happy to be caught unawares by an unplanned hospital visit? Or is it […]
Just incase you didn’t guess this is a sponsored post ;o) The guys at Andrex contacted me to ask if I would let you know about a competition running at the moment, and you know what that means – PRIZES! Before I let you know more about it, I thought I’d chat a bit about […]
Recently I’ve been blogging about the importance of asking for help, having been forced to get over myself and find loads of different ways of asking myself! Here are a couple of my blogs: pictures to inspire you, feeling guilty and why is it so difficult? I realised that it is often actually much more pleasant […]
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 […]
These hints and tips are just things that worked for me, so I thought I would share them just incase they work for someone else, please share them with anyone you know who is pregnant. Now obviously it is always wise to check with your health professional about any of the supplements and vitamins that […]
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 […]
