Holidaysssss!
My kids are awesome. I mean, they are also bloody hard work and sometimes fucking ridiculous , but most the time, they are great little characters who warm the cockles of me ‘eart. We’ve just been on a long weekend away in Speyside, Scotland, and I cannot tell you how needed it was. June was…
Experiencing ‘The Juggle’
I’ve always been a fan of Grazia magazine and their endless campaigns for women’s rights and their community – ‘The Juggle UK’ -was always on my radar and I understood it and I thought I experienced it during maternity leave. I can expressly say, now that I’m back working full time, both because I have…
RAGE!!!
The writing of this post has been postponed by sick lads and an even sicker husband. Yep, the household got the dreaded Covid. 2 years into it and literally 2 weeks from some relaxed guidance, we finally succumbed. I say WE, but in fact for some insane unknown reason I have remained negative. I am…
Missing writing…
Going back to a 5 day week has taken away my obvious blog writing time and at the end of a day where I’m up at 6.30, feeding lads, dressing lads, taking lads to nursery, coming back to go straight into work which is CRAZY busy, working all day (including a lunchtime walk I cannot…
End of an Era….
Today was my last Gymboree class, and in fact, likely the last ever baby class I will take one of my own to. I’ve run out of holidays at work which I’ve been using to work a 4 day week, and, my workload is insane just now and I can’t keep trying to cram 5…
Ho Ho OH please leave me alone for one minute….
I don’t think I need to say this, but just in case it’s not clear. I love my children, I am devoted to the lads, they bring me joy and make me laugh…. Nobody needs to doubt that. But… We’ve just had two weeks of rather full on childcare. We took them out of nursery…
Comparing Parenting
Now that we are well past the massive development periods that are the first year of a baby’s life, I’ve been reflecting on what those leaps and jumps meant to me and to others. I have tried very hard to avoid being a competitive parent but I think it’s human nature to COMPARE your kids…
Santa visiting lads…
This year we did a Santa visit for the first time. It’s really the first year that Benji has been aware of the whole Santa and stocking thing and as he’s obsessed with being a ‘good guy’ at the moment – they’ve been covering Police Officers at nursery – this has wrapped up (pun not…
Swearing Lad
Sooooooooo Benji has starting singing a silly song, which broadly goes along the lines of ‘F*cks Sake, F*cking Sakes, F*cking f*cking f*ck’ etc. We ignore it, taking the advice of every parent ever in existence that if we make a thing of it, we are dooooomed. Thing is… this one is almost definitely mummy’s fault.…
Not quite the black death…
I didn’t write a blog last week. Why? We have had a brutal time. BRUTAL. This virus-ridden (not THAT virus) household has been plagued (word intended) with…. Hand Foot and Mouth – Jake and Me Impetigo – Jake Conjunctivitis – Lad Dad, Benji but Jake by far the worst (see pic) Vomiting and Diarrohea… Diarohea……
