Since having children, it seems I had some kind of radar for farm toys. If I see a little tractor, I usually have to get it. This is for both children-not just Baby G after all, girls drive tractors too. Have you ever been into a shop and looked for a tractor? I did not…
Another month had flown and my boy is now 7 months old. He is such a happy baby and smiles from the minute he wakes up until he goes to sleep. On his last weigh-in the little chunk was a few ounces under 20lb so I am convinced he is 20lb now. Despite weaning…
Ive always wanted to try decoupage but I just hadn’t been inspired about what to do it on and what to do it with. Until now. As with many second children, Baby G’s bedroom is smaller than his big sister’s but I still wanted him to have a book case. So I found this one,…
Six months. Six whole months. It’s similar to when you tell people you are pregnant after the 12 week scan. You then have six months to wait until your baby arrives. Aren’t those six months just the longest? The last six months of pregnancy can feel like six years but I kid you not, the…
This time last year we were sheep shearing. We have decided to do it a little later this year but that day, while I was running around feeding the helpers and annoying Hubster by taking three million photos, I had a funny taste in my mouth. When it was all over, I made some excuse…

I can’t think of many people who enjoy weighing themselves after they have had a baby. After my smug post about loosing weight in pregnancy, the night feeds got to me and I have put a stone of what I lost back on. Oops. I am back on it though and will be trying…
April is Caesarean awareness month and it has really helped me talking to other women who have gone through what I have, to know that I am not alone and that most of my feelings are normal. I wrote Beb’s birth story back in February (you can read it here) and I promised part two but I…
Choosing a name for your baby can be serious business. Not only do both you and your partner need to agree on it but there is the added weight that your child’s first name will be with them for the rest of their lives. In terms of security, my kids are known as Boo and…
Take a break. Tiredness Kills. We’ve all read the signs on the motorway. If this is true though, how on earth are new parents supposed to take care of a baby, any other children and themselves when you’ve had less sleep than you had when you pulled all nighters in your teens? This my friends…
