Our life with our toddler

Dummies- the heroin of the nursery

February 8, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

Ok, ok, I’m being dramatic but at this moment in time, the dummy is beginning to grate. I was determined before Boo was born that she wouldn’t have a dummy. Sleepless nights ensued and I found the hubster sat holding one of the little blighters in Boo’s mouth one day and that, my friends, is … [Read more…]

#100HappyDays a blessing or a curse?

January 30, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 9 Comments

Is it just me or is anyone else struggling with #100HappyDays? If you’ve not heard of it, you have to post a photo of something that makes you happy every day for 100 days to a social media outlet like Twitter, Pinterest or Facebook. I thought it was a lovely idea and it is, however … [Read more…]

Our wild birthday adventure to Knowsley Safari Experience

January 23, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

So you’d think the fact that we live on a farm would mean we have enough animals to keep us amused, wouldn’t you? Well that is true but when it comes to the more exotic kind of beast, I’m pretty sure the Department for Environment and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) don’t allow even the likes of … [Read more…]

Save Mothercare!!

January 21, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 12 Comments

  I think we’ve all become numb to the news of various high street retailers going bust. I suppose Woolworths was one of the first big names in the British retail industry to go and a large number of others have followed. These big high street names just can’t compete with online shopping and, the ever-encroaching … [Read more…]

Mummy love-when nothing else really matters

January 13, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 8 Comments

All children develop at different times. I remember stressing over my daughter crawling and walking. As a shoe-fanatic myself, I was simply dying to get Boo her first pair of shoes. Fast forward over a year and boy am I regretting being so eager. As she was a late walker however, I have faired better … [Read more…]

Celebrity Big Brother-how I fear for my daughter

January 7, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

I am ashamed to say that I watched Celebrity Big Brother last night. It was on Channel 5 at 9pm-prime time viewing for older children and all I can say is, I am glad that my child is too young to watch it. Three of the contestants-one man and two women were cavorting in a … [Read more…]

Kid’s birthday parties….a parents nightmare

January 5, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

We went to a kids party yesterday. As Boo is nearly three, we are still at the stage of me going with her. We have been to countless parties since she has been born and it is just a minefield of party etiquette which no-one ever tells you about. As party goers, it’s the mothers … [Read more…]

The Kids TV phenomenon amongst parents

December 29, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

Being a parent can sometimes feel isolating. You can loose touch with what is going on in your friend’s worlds let alone the world at large. When they are very young especially, your life revolves around feeds and changing and you get obsessed with sleep, toilet habits and whether they’re warm/cool enough. Now my Boo … [Read more…]

ELC kitchen erection nightmare or breeze?

December 21, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

So last night the elves (my husband and I) did the thing I had been dreading. We put my daughter’s ELC cottage kitchen together (http://www.elc.co.uk/Wooden-Cottage-Kitchen—Red/136819,default,pd.html#q=cottage%20kitchen). I had been worrying about it for a while. I could see us up until 4am Christmas Day morning doing it and, with a day of play and cooking to … [Read more…]

The double-edged sword of batteries on Christmas Day

December 17, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Tonight I wrapped my daughter’s presents and as I hid them behind the chair in the living room, I heard Peppa Pig’s voice booming from within the wrapping. Batteries in kids toys are a double edged sword at Christmas time. On one hand you want them to enjoy the toys you have bought them. On … [Read more…]
