Planning A Baby On A Budget

September 11, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Babies can be so expensive. I know, having had three. According to the Cost of a Child report, created by the Child Poverty Action Group, the basic cost of raising a child over 18 years is around £75,147 for a couple and £101,883 for a single parent. Thankfully, I saved most of the expensive items … [Read more…]

What To Expect When Your Child Starts School

August 22, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I find my first child has been my trial run for everything. We gave her a dummy. Her younger brothers did not have a dummy-that kind of thing. Nothing can prepare you for the mine field that is the school gates though so, I like to think I have learnt something from her and will … [Read more…]

School Shoes with Style and Stamina from Start-Rite #ad

August 19, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

So unless you have been living under a stone, back to school season is well and truly upon us. My eldest boy (middle child) is starting primary school in September and I think one of the biggest landmarks in a child’s life is getting those first school shoes. With three children, I must have spent … [Read more…]

Siblings, August 2019

August 15, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

  Since the last siblings post, my eldest has finished year three and the middle one had his last day at nursery. We have had action packed days interspersed with fun days at home, picnicking, running around the farm and playing with annoying the animals. The first Saturday of the school holidays we headed off … [Read more…]

Alternative sports for kids

July 30, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

If you have little ones, you know that keeping them active can be difficult at times. This was shown recently when the number of overweight children had risen by a fifth. However, on the flip side to this, you may have a child with too much energy that needs to be focused somewhere. The obvious … [Read more…]

Dinosaur Soup Recipe

July 23, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

  I have weaned all of my children the same. They have eaten the same meals as we have and all enjoyed different things from every food group. Why then is it only two of them that are adventurous with food and one refuses things without even trying them? Since turning two, one of my … [Read more…]

Siblings, July 2019

July 15, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

We are in the last days of term at the farm and I think we are all looking forward to a slower pace of life with no school buses or nursery runs. The siblings have got along famously this month. Both boys enjoy greeting their sister off the school bus but the baby usually sleeps … [Read more…]

Siblings, June 2019

June 14, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I always spend a little time before writing my sibling posts to look through my photos and I am actually shocked the month at how much we have packed in. The week before the children finished for half term, I kept the middle child off nursery and took him and his little brother to the … [Read more…]

Free Nature Toys To Keep Kids Amused For Hours

June 11, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

My children have a lot of toys. I have a bit of a problem saying no to them which I know is probably not a good thing but I figure there are worse qualities to have as a parent. Having said that though, they tend to play the most with non-toy items which always makes … [Read more…]

What Life is Really Like, Living With Farm Children

June 4, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

There is a four year gap between my daughter and my first son then two years between the boys. Over the last four years, I have been propelled into the once unknown world of boys’ bits, ninjas and their favourite- “bad guys”. My daughter was always a quiet, happy little thing who loved nothing better … [Read more…]
