I am a firm believer in the fact that the more babies you have, the more laid back you become. When I had Boo, I knew nothing. I think you definitely wing it with your first. They are the trial run if you like. I weaned Boo at 17 weeks. I know. It seems so…
If you compare the blog posts I write between now and two years ago, there is a bit of a difference. Two years ago, I had just had our second baby and I wrote loads about babies, having a newborn and all the things that come with that. Fast forward two years and our third…
They say time flies when you’re having fun. It is certainly the case when you have goats. I cannot believe we have had them a year. If you remember, it took a long time to persuade Hubster to let me get them but he did, eventually give in. I was so excited the day we…
Now this is not a usual post for me. I used to write poetry many years ago. I don’t know whether it is night feeds or being a stay at home mum that has tipped me over the edge but I have been thinking about this for a couple of weeks and I just had…
The siblings are three months into being three and despite having their moments, they really do love each other. Boo has surprised me so much recently with the love she has for her brothers. She never really cuddles G but this month, I asked her to look after him while we crossed the farm yard…
Have you ever smelt a sheep? I suppose unless you keep them, going round sniffing sheep probably isn’t at the top of your to-do list. Their breath smells grassy-obviously I suppose, it’s what they eat. As a whole, I think they have a distinctive smell. Yes, a bit mucky but with a sweet smell about…
Being a mum automatically makes you thirsty because you never have time to drink. Night feeds however make you even more thirsty than usual and it can become some kind of vicious circle. You drink, you need the loo. You get the raging thirst, you drink, you need the loo. If you’ve never experienced night…
Love them or loathe them, if you’ve got kids, the chances are, you have experienced a playdate. They really are a mine field of etiquette. Rules aside however, when you couple excited children and loads of sugar, emotions can run high-yours and theirs. Thankfully, the lovely people at Organix have come up with a few…
I am currently seven weeks in to parenting three. I forgot so much about babies in the two year gap between G and Baby J. It could have been self preservation-no wants to remember the deliciousness of functioning on 40 minutes sleep a night. There have been moments though where I have laughed to myself…
Month two of three siblings has flown by and, while it may be early days, their relationships are blossoming every day. Even Boo who was a bit slow in welcoming the new addition has warmed to him but it is little G who adores the baby, or ‘beebee’ as he calls him. G is a…
