Our life with our toddler

7 reasons you know you’re a mother

December 7, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

Before my best friend had her baby, she once came down and offered to have Boo so I could have a nap or something. I asked her if I could shave my legs. When she had her own child, she told me she understood. So I have decided to make this list of things which … [Read more…]

Tryin not to peak too soon

November 29, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

So it’s December 1st on Sunday and I have dusted off Boo’s Advent calendar. I bought her one of those reusable wooden Advent calendars last year. It is cute but on reflection, I still buy a chocolate one to put into the reusable one. So as of Sunday there are 24 sleeps until the big man arrives. I … [Read more…]

A-Z of Me

November 24, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I’ve seen a few bloggers having a go at this so I thought I would have a go. This is the A-Z of me. It’s not a comprehensive list but a little snapshot. A is for animals. I have always loved them. We have LOADS. Cows, sheep, dogs, chickens, cats, rabbits and a fish. B … [Read more…]

The essential family meal time

November 21, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

So last night, a new programme was aired on BBC One called Nigel and Adam’s Farm Kitchen. I am married to a farmer and we live on a farm so I watched it with interest. At one point in the first episode, there was a statistic that many people don’t bother cooking a Sunday dinner. … [Read more…]

Getting things spectaculary wrong

November 21, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 4 Comments

Historically, I have always got dates and times wrong. I could blame it on being a busy mum but I’m afraid it started long before having Boo. The worst event happened when I bought my husband and I tickets to see Take That. We weren’t married then and long before Boo. It was just before … [Read more…]

November 20, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

    After my last pet buying post, I thought writing it down on my blog (http://farmerswifeandmummy.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/impulsive-pet-buying-again/) may have cured me. Wrong. It didn’t. I decided Clover the rabbit (named after the rabbit in Sophia the First) needed a friend. After days of researching on local pet shops and sites, I plumped for a two-year-old lop … [Read more…]

Identity crisis-who are any of us?

November 6, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Who am I? Who are any of us? Have you ever sat down and thought about identity? How you identify yourself or how others identify you. Identity is more than a name and just think, to many people you have an identity without even having a name. From the people you see every day on … [Read more…]

Trick or Treat: Why I’m Uneasy with Halloween

October 29, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

I am uneasy with Halloween. I don’t mind the dressing up per-say but it’s the trick or treating which I am the most uneasy with. You see, when I was growing up, my parents would never let me go trick or treating and, at the time, I was gutted. Why couldn’t I go and get … [Read more…]

Half term, half the fun for preschoolers?

October 19, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 4 Comments

It’s half term where I live and while teachers may be breathing a sigh of relief, parents everywhere are on the verge of tearing their hair out. Childcare, activities, money for activites; are all on the agenda of parents with children at school.   But what about parents of preschool children? Every week is half … [Read more…]
