Siblings, January 2021

January 15, 2021 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

The first Siblings post of 2021 seems a bit like deja vu. We finished the last one of 2020 looking forward to Christmas and, while there were a lot less people around our table, the children still enjoyed themselves. Christmas seemed to be a lot less stressful last year. I was relatively organised wrapping presents … [Read more…]

Siblings, October 2020

October 17, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I am a little later than usual with this month’s siblings roundup. The reason being that now they are pulled in different directions of the two schools and nursery, it makes it harder to get a photo of the three of them. Two I seem to manage and I did wonder whether this was the … [Read more…]

What To Expect When Your Child Starts School

August 22, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I find my first child has been my trial run for everything. We gave her a dummy. Her younger brothers did not have a dummy-that kind of thing. Nothing can prepare you for the mine field that is the school gates though so, I like to think I have learnt something from her and will … [Read more…]

Everything You Need to Know About Prep School

September 27, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Private schools are becoming an increasingly popular option for parents looking to secure the best possible education for their child. Over the last several years, many private schools have taken steps to open their admissions policies up to attract a wider demographic. In the past, private schools have been seen as signs of elitism and … [Read more…]

Siblings, September 2017

September 15, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

The new uniform was bought and the shiny shoes slipped on for the new term. This Siblings post sees our summer holidays over and a new term at school. There are two siblings still at home but they have both missed the boss this last week. You wouldn’t think just one child missing would cause … [Read more…]

5 Things You Need for Back To School

August 23, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

1. Fabric stain remover. Living on the farm, we avoid white clothing like the plague. School shirts tend to be white though so stain remover is your friend. If I know we are having anything tomato sauce based for dinner, I make Boo eat her tea in her vest to ensure no stains are too … [Read more…]

5 Things I’ve learnt in my Daughter’s first year at School

July 12, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

So the end of term is nigh for many children and, as we near the end of our Reception year, I thought I would let you know what I have learnt. 1.White socks are a nightmare. I bough loads before she started but I wish I hadn’t bothered. We have since moved on to grey. … [Read more…]

Tears for Mummy in Boo’s last week in Reception

July 11, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

There seems to be a rather uncomfortable pattern emerging. When Boo started school last year, I cried for the first two weeks of dropping her off. I have cried at parents evenings, sports day, her first school trip (and her second). I admit I am a crier. In January, a worried mum came up to … [Read more…]

Boo turns 5

January 19, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I feel like I’ve neglected Boo on the blog in the last year. I obviously haven’t in real life but her brother has taken over in terms of what I have written about. Boo has had a big year herself though. Not least with the arrival of Baby G which, apart from a bit of … [Read more…]

October 2, 2015 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

I’ve stopped crying on my way home from dropping Boo off at school now. It did go on for a good week and a half but I’ve pulled myself together. So we’ve got through the first month and this is what I’ve deduced from school. 1 They return home with a funny smell about them. … [Read more…]
