I am still uneasy with Halloween. My post last year about not being comfortable about the begging aspect of trick or treat explains why but there are activities out there that don’t involve any trick or treating and we took part in one this weekend. I wrote in the summer about or local pick-your-own farm, Kenyon…
Something happened in bed last night-my first leg cramps of this pregnancy. Thanks goodness I knew what it was this time. It is the most painful thing ever, especially when you’re asleep and it wakes you up. It is always in my calf and always in pregnancy. Indeed, when I was pregnant with Boo, I…
I don’t hide the fact that I’ve got a bit of a thing about prams. On more than one occasion I have remarked on the prams of passers-by and forgot to coo over the baby-oops. I just love them. I didn’t really research much about prams when I was pregnant with Boo as really, I…
This tub is the bane of my life. It’s just a pink, plastic box. Quite innocuous, or so you think. It’s when it is opened that the horror literally spills out before your very eyes. (Have some horror film music in your head now please). You see this tub holds Boo’s collection of Happyland figures….
Christmas. The season on good will to all men and deception of your husband. Oh yes. I am already trying to get away with buying (more) Christmas tat. Without wanting to bore you to tears, I to a discount warehouse near where we live for things like toilet roll and kitchen roll. It is really…
I was recently sent an Ozeri Green Earth frying pan to review. It promises to be non stick, naturally. Suitable for all types of stoves-including induction and has a natural ceramic coating which is achieved by using no PTFE, PFOA or other harmful chemicals. I had no idea what PTFEs or PFOAs were but Mr…
I am sure you have no doubt that I actually am a farmer’s wife and mummy but, just in case you didn’t believe me, I have 7 photos to show you which will definitely prove it. My car is not pretty. It’s not nice to look at but, when I had Boo, I had a Ford KA…
I wrote recently about Rosie the dog being a bit obsessive with me since I got pregnant. She follows me round just a bit more than usual but it seems her obsession has taken a step further. The poor thing is having a phantom pregnancy. Rosie became a teenage parent six years ago and, since…
Not having a drink when I was pregnant with Boo just wasn’t a problem. This time though, there has been more than one occasion when I could have really done with a glass of wine or a vodka. Maybe it is something to do with looking after a small child, who knows? I obviously haven’t…
Aren’t hormones weird? You think you’ve been hormonal but nothing compares to the little blighters that flow through your being during pregnancy. In the first few months, you are basically a nightmare to live with. I’d be laughing one minute and crying the next. You can even be aggressive. When I was pregnant with Boo,…
