Poor Boo doesn’t have many things that her two little brothers don’t try to steal so when Interplay got in touch to tell us about their Mermaid Charm Shells, I thought it was the perfect opportunity for my eldest child to have something of her own. Mermaid Charm Shells are the home of a lovely … [Read more…]
Family life can be a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, many parents find it difficult to discover new ways of keeping the kids entertained while sticking to their budget every weekend. After all, when you factor in all the expenses of eating out, paying for tickets into amusement parks, and traveling to distant destinations, the cost … [Read more…]
I’m currently on my third lot of night feeds and it really does blow my mind thinking about how many I must have done over the last seven years. In fact it’s probably not a healthy thing to do, working out how much sleep I haven’t had. You wouldn’t think maths has anything to do … [Read more…]

I hear lots of parents say they won’t get a pet for their child until they understand the work and commitment that goes into becoming a pet owner. I understand. The parents are probably trying to teach their children something and don’t want to be lumbered caring for said pet themselves. It is different here. … [Read more…]
Ahhhh the farming family. Kids running around, the mother baking. The father farming. Everyone helping. Idyllic isn’t it? It really is. However it is also hard. I try not to go to much into this side of it but for the sake of any other farmer’s wives who read my blog, I think it is … [Read more…]
Oh toddlers. A breed to themselves. Funny little creatures who have themselves at the centre of the universe. At two, G was a placid little thing and, when I had baby number 3, I did think to myself that maybe we had bypassed the terrible twos completely. Top marks for my own hopefulness. As the … [Read more…]
