Wellie confessions

November 14, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

I have had to admit something to myself this week and it hurt. Fashion wellies do not mix with farms. We have lived at the farm for just over a year now and in that time I have been through four pairs of the fashionable type. Oh they were lovely. Pink glitter, polka dot, even … [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…]

Minty, my most un-farmer’s wife admission-don’t ring the RSPCA

November 2, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I don’t know if it is a gift. I am sure my husband would say it is a weakness. I can’t help falling for animals. Yes we live on a farm and despite once being vegetarian, I do accept that the business we are in is killing for food and I accept that. It puts … [Read more…]

The Tomy Digital TF500 Monitor

November 2, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

We lived in a terraced house when my daughter was born. We did buy a baby monitor but to be honest, we didn’t really need one. When she was really young, she was with us anyway and when she was older, our dog would run up and down stairs when she awoke. We moved to … [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…]

What Would Katie Do?

October 12, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

(The amazing Katie)   Today I have come up with a new manta.   You know how some Christians ask What Would Jesus Do?   Well I’m trying What Would Katie Do?   You see my cousin in America is also a farmer’s wife. She has two children and a much larger farm yet has … [Read more…]

Strange things lurking under couch

October 12, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

So today I had my weekly under the couch purge. It is always an eye opener. In the old house we had laminate floor and I naively thought carpet at the farm would solve the under-the-couch magnetism. I was wrong. I have no idea how things get there. I never see them going under but … [Read more…]

Kleptamaniac daughter ‘hides’ car keys

October 8, 2013 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

So we went away at the weekend (I will try and blog about it later) and my 2-and-a-half year old decided to try on my engagement and wedding ring on with my Thomas Sabo bracelet. I managed to prize the rings back but decided to avoid a full on tantrum and let her play with … [Read more…]
