I saw a post on Facebook from Susanna Scott of A Modern Mother and Britmums fame recently. She had posted a link to the first British Mummy Bloggers carnival in 2010. One of my posts was in it, 20:20 Hindsight which was nice. So I read it of course, a bit of memory laning for [...]
I woke up this morning feeling less than wonderful. Sore throat, headache, felt like cement had been poured into my ear overnight. Not hungover I might add, just bone-achingly tired for a variety of reasons. So it was with delight that on entering the kitchen I saw the dishwasher open but not unloaded, washing up [...]
First off I’m delighted that I managed to figure out how to access this blog again. I thought it was lost and gone forever and that the world would be left without any more of my hugely talented writing. But NO the universe was looking on at me and indeed you with love. And this [...]
Tilly was recently 6, this is a big milestone since now she has declared that I cannot decide her ‘way of life’ any longer. I found this out thus: “Tilly time to get in the bath please.” “Mummy you can’t tell me what to do, you can’t decide my way of life.” Right. Here we [...]
I regularly scold myself for failing to write down the things my girls say. I started this blog in order to do that very thing, to record the moments that are so easily forgotten. But a blog, like many other things, seems to have a lifecycle. You start super keen. You write your heart out, [...]

And so I find myself in 2015 sitting at a new (old) kitchen table, in a new (to me) kitchen in a new (to me) house. I have a view of my lovely garden and I’m working for my new company that I set up with my business partner. Goodness how things change. This time [...]
Wow hello blog! It’s been a while hasn’t it? I think I’m suffering from bloggers block, or blogathy (blog apathy see what I did there?) or possibly just the same old ‘there aren’t enough hours in the day’ problem. But that problem’s not really a valid excuse since I don’t think in the four and [...]
There’s something in the air today besides the sun. It’s something that causes little girls to have trouble getting to sleep. It’s something that causes me to get a great glute workout running up and down the stairs. Eliza has a new thing at bedtime. We have 2 chapters of whichever book we’re reading (James [...]
