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 […]
In ‘ye olden days’, i.e. 2 months ago before the arrival of ‘little dimples’, my second child, I used to ask myself what might seem a slightly dark question when sorting out my plan for work/life balance. I would think about being elderly and sitting on my death bed, looking back over my life. ‘What […]
It was with great surprise that I realised that deep, deep, deep inside my inner recesses, I had assumed that a world where everyone was beautiful would be great (especially me!), and there was a touch of judgement on people who didn’t ‘make an effort’. I didn’t know that I thought this until I watched […]
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.
Willow Phoebe Rose Pearson arrived on Saturday 13th February at 13.25, at a chubby 9lbs 3oz, at home in our lounge after a very relaxed 7hr labour, lots of chatting and a short dip in the birthing pool. Hubby and 4yr old son were downstairs during the process, watching films or playing computer games, and […]
Blimey, what’s going on with the celebrities this month, we have Tiger Woods and his addictions, John Terry and the girls desperate to become WAGs, and now Vernon Kay with his daft texts. I feel for anyone who discovers that their partner has been unfaithful in any manner, but I particularly feel for these women, […]
So the media will be keeping a beady eye on Tiger Woods and John Terry from now on, but if you don’t have that option, then what guarantees do you have that your partner will not be unfaithful again? Sorry – How Much Does That Mean? There is no doubt that the ‘injured’ party will […]
We all assume that affairs hurt everyone, in exactly the same way, but in fact they don’t and it is NOT because one person loved their partner more than the other person did. I remember when I lived in Lincolnshire there was a sudden flurry of partner’s being discovered to be unfaithful, followed by divorces. […]
I was infuriated this morning by listening to some chappie on the TV saying, ‘well you never know what was going on at home, maybe it was a sexless marriage!’; PLLLLEASE! That is such an urban myth, that affairs happen because the partner did something ‘wrong’. I’m not saying that something was not going on […]
Many Mums stop their children from watching any TV, and feel very good about themselves for it. Is that the ‘right’ choice – NOPE. Others have the TV on all the time – is that the right choice – NOPE. Actually, I’m just being controversial, because I don’t believe in ‘mistakes’, so I don’t think […]
