Our life with our toddler
There are certain words that you should NEVER say to a toddler and the only way around communicating them to others is by spelling them out. You must have heard other parents doing it. Every child is different so will bring with them their own list. You will probably be able to add to the … [Read more…]
I’ve seen a few bloggers having a go at this so I thought I would have a go. This is the A-Z of me. It’s not a comprehensive list but a little snapshot. A is for animals. I have always loved them. We have LOADS. Cows, sheep, dogs, chickens, cats, rabbits and a fish. B … [Read more…]
So last night, a new programme was aired on BBC One called Nigel and Adam’s Farm Kitchen. I am married to a farmer and we live on a farm so I watched it with interest. At one point in the first episode, there was a statistic that many people don’t bother cooking a Sunday dinner. … [Read more…]
Historically, I have always got dates and times wrong. I could blame it on being a busy mum but I’m afraid it started long before having Boo. The worst event happened when I bought my husband and I tickets to see Take That. We weren’t married then and long before Boo. It was just before … [Read more…]

I am uneasy with Halloween. I don’t mind the dressing up per-say but it’s the trick or treating which I am the most uneasy with. You see, when I was growing up, my parents would never let me go trick or treating and, at the time, I was gutted. Why couldn’t I go and get … [Read more…]
. Children at church. It is a hot topic at the moment. On one hand you have people quoting Jesus’ “Let the children come to me.” For many parents, you have the reality of toddlers having a meltdown in Mass – and always in the quietest part of the Mass with what feels like … [Read more…]
Before I had children I usually did washing when I was running out of clothes for work. Now however the washing machine is on most days at least once. How does one small person generate so much washing? How people go on with more than one child, I don’t know. What must twins be … [Read more…]
