My name is Lisa and I am a pram-oholic. There, I’ve said it. You will no doubt have seen the story of the dad who wrote the most fantastic description of his Phil and Ted’s Explorer Double. It’s less about the buggy itself and more about the life that came with having children and therefore […]
There is nothing worse than having a cold at the weekend when I want to spend my time having fun with Zach. We should have been out in the cold sunshine and playing manically at home and instead I have been snappy, tired and feeling pooped! There was a point today where Zach hadn’t napped, […]
As some of you know, on Saturday we changed Zach’s cot into a bed, gave him his big boy duvet and his big boy pillow and hoped for the best. You can see the previous post here but I thought I’d give a little update as a couple of people mentioned they’d be keeping an […]
Hopefully you all enjoy reading my blog but there are lots of amazing bloggers out there and I thought I’d take this opportunity to give you a list of some of my favourite bloggers. As Dermot O’Leary would say, in no particular order… Jennie over at Edspire Jennie’s blog is one of the most emotional […]
Getting Zach back into the routine of nursery is always tough when we’ve had any extended time together and after our break over Christmas, we are struggling again. He doesn’t seem to have a problem with going to my mum’s the three days a week she has him; it’s instant happiness of seeing nannie and […]
Zach spends three days a week with my mum and for those three days a week, I have to give her food to give him for dinner and tea. It has gotten incredibly hard because he has started getting fussy and where I used to give them pies and quiches from the deli counter, he […]
I like to think that having been a parent for two years now that I have some idea of what is thrown at us parents between birth and toddlerhood. There are lots of books out there that focus on the developmental stages, when they should be walking, talking, their weight, height etc., but I thought […]
For me, it’s cakes and biscuits. Image courtesy of Mister GC at FreeDigitalPhotos.net I love them. Simply love them. I don’t think there’s one biccie that I don’t like. I definitely have favourites but I would eat anything! When I still lived at home, my dad would bring me a cup of tea every morning […]
Laying on the floor of Zach’s bedroom while I make sure he is finally asleep, I’m just here thinking about what a wonderful little boy he is. Yes he has his moments and there have been some incredibly cheeky ones this weekend but overall he is just the sweetest boy ever and he makes me […]
My name is Lisa and I have been blogging here at Mummascribbles since June 2014. I am a full time working mummy to one devilishly handsome two year old boy and on my blog you will find me talking about a multitude of subjects surrounding parenting, toddlers, tantrums, working and lots, lots more. I currently […]
Friday nights used to be exciting for lots of cocktails, some dancing and some late night food. This Friday finds me excited for a very different reason. Tonight, we are expecting delivery of our first ever internet food shop! Why, you may ask, is she so excited? I shall explain! I am not a fan […]
As an office worker, blogger and social media lover, I rely on the internet in my day to day living. My other half often comments on how much I use social media, especially now that I blog. In work I rely on the internet to look at venues, get designs done and get information over […]
Zach’s speech came out of nowhere. He was a boy that focussed on learning to run around creating havoc and wasn’t too bothered about talking. His vocabulary started coming on slowly but his first words weren’t your usual first words like dog or teddy, they were water and highchair! All of the books, emails and […]
Well today has been another big day in our house…today we changed Zach’s cot into a bed!! I don’t know if it’s the right thing to have done but he was really starting to dislike being trapped behind the bars of the cot and bedtime has been a nightmare for a few weeks now so […]
