What a year it’s been at the farm. Boo turned three in January and then started nursery in April. It was a big step for me letting go of my baby but she absolutely loves it. So much so that she now stays for her lunch every day during term time. Lambing was lovely as … [Read more…]
Christmas 2014 is over. We have had a lovely time. Eaten too much which, for me was hard because of a certain baby taking over valuable stomach room. Boo has received lots of lovely presents which she has really enjoyed playing with. I’ve not managed to tidy up the toys away totally yet. For one … [Read more…]
It’s going to be a busy few days for everyone and I am keen to spend some time with my family. Thank you you so much for all of your support this year. I will be taking a blogging break now for a few days. Hope you all have a fabulous time.
I started December with high hopes and enthusiasm. I bought two, yes two Elf on the Shelf and had visions of them getting up to mischief every day for Boo to marvel at. It started well. December 1st saw Elfy bungee in and spend the day hanging above the stairs from the living room to … [Read more…]

Maternity clothes. You either love them or you hate them. Most of mine are from my pregnancy with Boo and are mostly made of black jersey. I was pregnant at more or less exactly the same season with Boo as with this baby so that has come in handy. This is my comfy outfit. Leggings … [Read more…]
Last year I was in awe at the effort that went into many people’s Elf on the Shelf. So this year, I got us one. Well actually, in true Emma style, I got two a ‘real’ elf off eBay and another one from Sainsburys. For the last month I have been trying to come up … [Read more…]
I recently saw a delicious looking soup in a sandwich shop. Christmas soup. I was really excited about it but imagined it would have turkey in it. It didn’t, it had ham so I still couldn’t have it (remember the vegetarian farmer’s wife). So I decided I wasn’t about to miss out and made it … [Read more…]
I am very excited today to be hosting the Britmums Blog Carnival. It is really a virtual party to celebrate the wonderful world of blogging in general and parent bloggers in particular. We’ve all got something in common in this (sometimes) rough road of parenting and so I feel a great affinity to some of the … [Read more…]
