This may sound strange but today I felt like mummy. Not the mummy who works full time. Not the mummy that he only really gets to see properly at the weekend. Not the mummy that is dropping him here, there and everywhere throughout the week. Nope, not any of them. Today I felt like the […]
Mummy, go away, were the first three words that came out of my toddlers’ mouth this morning. Trying to get him to wake up in the morning is like trying to wake a teenager for school. It doesn’t help that he fights sleep at night and so rather than fall asleep before 8pm, he scratches, talks, […]

We’ve had a poorly little toddler on our hands today Last night upon leaving my mum’s, we got a quarter of the way home when he started making choking noises in the back. There is nothing more scary and thankfully I was down a road where I could do an emergency pull over. Upon stopping […]
Once again, the cost of childcare in the UK has been all over the news today following the report that it has increased a third over the last five years. This post is a look at our situation as full time working parents. I’d like to say I’m lucky – I am really – my […]

There are lots of parent bloggers right now writing about all their half term plans and tweeting lots of photos of their adventures so far. This morning when I got in the car to drive Zach to my mum’s and remembered it was half term, I did a little fist pump because I realised that […]
Today we went to Diggerland! I saw a promotion of theirs a couple of weeks ago & snapped up some very cheap tickets. Upon driving into the entrance and Zach seeing the first enormous digger, he was so excited; wriggling in the back of the car, itching to get out! Once we walked through the […]

I just wanted to share with you, a post that I wrote for the Mums Lounge Australia website. I am so excited that they liked what I wrote and featured it on their site. It’s also majorly exciting that a link to my piece is currently on the main front page. http://www.mumslounge.com.au/lifestyle/family/5-emotions-you-will-experience-being-a-parent-of-a-toddler/ I have always […]
Today is World Book Day. Many of you parents have spent the last week cutting, pinning and sewing; creating wonderful costumes for your little ones to dress up in. Some of you will have spent some money on shop bought costumes and have a little guilt that you just don’t have time to sit, cut, […]
