Our life with our toddler
Have you ever got anything which you know could change your life? I don’t mean a ground breaking change but, you know, something which will make your life so much easier? Well recently I was sent a Gro Light from the Gro Company. I have been waiting for the nursery to be done before I…
If another pregnant woman told me what I did myself recently, I would tell them off. That’s right, just after Christmas and over 34 weeks pregnant, I weighed myself. I ate for six when I was pregnant with Boo, foolishly thinking those excess calories would come out beautifully wrapped with the baby and I would…
Happy New Year to all my lovely readers. This is a selection of what you’ve read about in 2014. I hope you all have a wonderful 2015 and continue following our farm family journey. Many best wishes
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…
In what can only be described as Sod’s law, my weekly trip to the antenatal day unit on Christmas Eve was eventful. The consultant said my top was the best she had seen all week so I was quite pleased about that. My blood pressure was the best it’s been all pregnancy and my blood…
So here we are. The next four-weekly update in the saga pregnancy. After my 28 week scan four weeks ago, I stupidly uttered these famous last words to Hubster: “I’m sure they saw me more often at this point when I was pregnant with Boo”. BIG mistake. The very next day, a midwife rang…
Before you get married, I think it’s really important to discuss whether you want children with your future spouse. For the simple reason that it must be awful if one partner wants kids but the other doesn’t. To be honest, I can’t ever remember ‘the chat’ and, as it was, we had our chief bridesmaid…
You’d think having a child myself would make it easier to choose presents for other people’s children but I am afraid it doesn’t. I feel as if I never get it right. Is it the right thing age-wise, will they play with it, will their parents hate me (think musical instruments, that kind of thing)….
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…
I thought it might be a nice idea to get Boo her own little Christmas tree for her bedroom. Another mum at ballet said she had got her daughter one from Asda for £5 including lights so I ordered one. I made a big thing of the tree surprise one afternoon when Boo came home…
