My word of the week is: SLEEP. My obsession with it or lack of it. Up to being two, Boo was a brilliant sleeper. Some days I’d have all my house work done by the time shee got up. Many times it was after 8am and, if I was really lucky 9am. Oh those days. So Boo…
There’s nothing I love more than mummy-porn. Don’t avert your eyes, it’s ok. I’m, talking about prams, nursery furniture and the like. I can’t get enough. The next Baby and Toddler show is happening in Bluewater, Kent, 25th to 27th of April. I have been a constant visitor to their show in Manchester, torturing myself…
Recently, I took part in a twitter discussion on parenting stigmas. My, do we live in a judgemental world. It seems mothers can’t win no matter what they do and guess who our biggest critics are? Other mothers. To be honest, you’ve barely come down from the euphoria of giving birth before it starts. Mums…
So Rosie the dog has been under the weather since Sunday. She was still down this morning-not eating and lethargic but I thought she would last until tomorrow when I am off work. Hubster rang me at 8.15am and said she yelped when he picked her up. I panicked. We had to put Poppy, one…

I love taking photos. I must take 100 a week, easy. Before Boo it was Rosie the dog who was my favourite subject. Boo has taken over Rosie I’m afraid. When she was first born, Hubster warned me that our daughter was going to think her mummy’s face had a camera or a phone attached…
There’s one thing all mums are guilty of. Maybe dads too, and that is, not really listening to advice. We’re parents for goodness sake. So you gave your baby brandy to sooth teething 60 years ago? Things have changed. The other mothers who weaned their babies on rusks before six months despite the gluten allergy…
Known as the “silent killer”, high blood pressure rarely has obvious symptoms. According to the NHS, around 30 per cent of people in England have high blood pressure but many don’t know it. If left untreated, high blood pressure increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke. The only way of knowing there is a…
Before I was married or had children, I used to snigger at people who had large photos of themselves adorning the walls of their house. I suppose not so much their kids, but the cheesey wedding pics that took up a whole wall of their living room. Roll on a few years and, with a…
So we’re coming to the end of Fairtrade Fortnight. I celebrated the start of the two weeks with Fairtrade wine and I am seeing it out with cake-it’s a hard life. I am still on my diet so I will be just looking at said cake and enjoying watching other people eat it having a…
