Six months. Six whole months. It’s similar to when you tell people you are pregnant after the 12 week scan. You then have six months to wait until your baby arrives. Aren’t those six months just the longest? The last six months of pregnancy can feel like six years but I kid you not, the…
If you follow me on social media, I am sorry. This past week has been largely dominated by poultry. I am a farmer’s wife so I am sure you expect some sort of farming blogging but, I admit it. This week has been extreme. Total poultry-porn has been occurring. I bought two hens a couple…
We love a good book here so when we were offered the chance to review Lorraine Catterall’s The Mouse and the Crocodile, we said, erm yes please. It is an unlikely tale. A little mouse and a big crocodile become friends in a bid to find home. They meet other creatures along the way who…
The schools may have only just broken up for the holidays and you may still be thinking about where to go on your summer break but some people are starting their preparations for Christmas. This week, Baby G and I went to meet Paul McAvoy, a small holder and turkey farmer from Crouchley Hall Farm…
This week, I really fancied stuffing with my Sunday dinner but we had none of the packet variety in so I decided to try and make my own. I recently visited the Mornflake factory in Crew. You can read about it here and we had some Oatbran in the cupboard. Being full of a cold and…

With Boo starting primary school in September, I feel like I am becoming obsessed with phonics, While I learnt the alphabet phonetically all those years ago, it is different now and I have been worrying about confusing her yet still really wanting to help. She has come a long way at nursery and I am…
Fancy earning some extra cash? Selling my body is not an option as, after my two beauties, it’s not worth much, Likewise, I have too honest a face for crime and drug dealing scares me so, what’s left? The trading of Tsum Tsums. That’s right. Those super cute stacking softies from the Disney a Store…
If you followed my blog during my last pregnancy, you will know of the worry I experienced on a daily basis about that little baby growing inside. Anxiety in pregnancy can be because of a number of things. Maybe you’ve had a long journey to get pregnant. Maybe, like us, you have suffered miscarriages. Maybe…
I recently bought a clutch bag. I know. Not ground-breaking in any way. However, this small, orange bag has saved me a lot of time and headaches on the last week or so and I thought I would explain how and maybe help some of you. When I leave the house, my baby changing bag…
