Our life with our toddler
Two years ago, when we were thinking of moving to the farm, I started looking for classes to do with Boo in Culcheth. I saw a sign for JoJo’s Music and emailed to find out more. Boo was just one. Roll on two years and today was our last class because Boo starts pre-school after…
Today we have a guest blogger at Farmer’s Wife and Mummy. We are entering a competition with La Redoute to capture the secrets of French style. Given the fact that Boo, even at three, is much more stylish than me, I will hand over to her. I may only be three but, even in…
What do you think of when you think of a mother? Nurturing? Selfless? Fun? Loving? Caring? Your best friend? The person who gave birth to you? Well I agree with all of the above apart from the last one. While giving birth made me a mum, it didn’t make my mum one. You see I…
My word of the week is Oh my diary is like my life. I know a lot of people put reminders in their phones now-a-days but I still love a good old diary. I bought a lovely red diary in January from Moleskine. Oh it was a beauty. This photo is of what it did…
Does your husband or partner always forget occasions like Mother’s Day and birthdays? Mine does. As Mumsnet release the results of their latest survey which says nearly a third of mothers say they probably wouldn’t get a Mother’s Day celebration without reminding their partners in advance, I have decided to share what happens in our…
We all eat to much salt and sugar. It is in the headlines every day. As a mum, it worries me on a daily basis. I watch the amount of sugar and salt Boo eats regularly and try and stick to fruit as the most sugar she eats. However she is three so ‘choc’ does…
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…
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…
