Impatient to Grow My Own

February 18, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 8 Comments

It’s official. I am done with winter. Is it me or do our summers get shorter and shorter? You see, this year I have plans. We might live on a farm but no crops are grown here. It is all livestock so this year I am going to try to grow my own. I have … [Read more…]

My plea to children’s shoe manufacturers

February 17, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 16 Comments

Kids’ shoes. They’re an expensive business aren’t they? I am big on making sure Boo’s shoes are the right size. I had a Saturday job at Clarks and Russell and Bromley when I was at college and university and I went on the shoe fitting courses so I know the deal. The bones in children’s … [Read more…]

Would allowing your son to wear a tutu make him less aggressive?

February 15, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

  I just read an article in the Daily Mail and I felt compelled to write. It was about a couple who are bringing their little boy up to be gender neutral. Apparently, this couple are allowing their son to wear both ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ clothing as they think gender stereotyping can be damaging to … [Read more…]

Giving ex-commercial hens a fresh start

February 15, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 4 Comments

How do you like your eggs in the morning? According to Egg Info (http://www.egginfo.co.uk/) who are behind the British Lion Mark, in Britain, we consumed 11.5 million eggs in 2013. I would say this was a conservative estimate as it doesn’t include the ones laid by garden hens. I think it does show that we … [Read more…]

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

It’s Valentine’s Day. Did you wake up to breakfast in bed? A dozen red roses? Or maybe a diamond…. I woke up to the usual routine I’m afraid. I told hubster that it was Valentine’s day earlier in the week. There would be no point being upset today if he had forgotten. I am afraid … [Read more…]

10 things you said you wouldn’t do with your children-but do

February 13, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 49 Comments

When you’re pregnant with your first child and just after you’ve had it, you enter a period of utopia where you imagine everything to be perfect. Clean, fluffy blankets. Everything is new. You imagine a set of ideals in your head, a goalpost of sorts which you measure everything against. Some time later, these goal … [Read more…]

February 12, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

So today we decided to bake. I cheated as you can see above. I thought with Boo, it would be all about the decorating so I bypassed the baking somewhat. She had a great time putting the cases in the tray Stirring the mixture (after I had a little go myself with the electric mixer)… … [Read more…]

Mad Blog Awards 2014

February 12, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

I don’t know if it’s a British thing, but I for one do not like to blow my own trumpet. I don’t even like telling people if I’m happy with something. I can just about talk about my daughter’s achievements but even this doesn’t sit comfortably with me. So when I found out about the … [Read more…]

Living the outdoor life

February 11, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 7 Comments

Since Boo was a tiny baby, I quickly understood the importance of fresh air. The days I took her out in her pram, she slept better at night. Fast forward to the toddler years and it still stands. Thankfully we live on a farm now (we didn’t when she was born) so there is fresh … [Read more…]
