On balancing out

Really liked this post from Existere today in which she talks about her feelings about being a stay at home mum to toddler twins. I’m not a SAHM but work full time. However much of what she said struck a chord with me. “The battle for me is: how do I give my children the [...]

It was love at first sight

Bub is not big on cuddles and hugs. Particularly for toys. His poor baby doll never gets any attention whatsoever.

Football dreams

Cute little story from Bub’s dad a few nights ago as he was trying to get him to sleep. Normally we don’t stay in with Bub as he goes to sleep but sometimes he is insistent we do and after our recent holiday getting him to sleep has been problematic. So Bub’s dad was in [...]

Sugar plum fairy – a guest post

One of the tiny perks of blogging is that I occasionally get to offered free stuff to review. I’m normally too lazy to be bothered (and to be honest it’s never been particularly exciting stuff.) But luckily my sister is always happy to go to great lengths in return for free food. So when I [...]
