She’s Home

Sun-kissed and now very much mum-kissed, Miss E is currently snoozing on the settee having stuffed her sweet little face with croissants and nutella (she didn’t fancy anything else). We’ve had an abbreviated account of her weekend which included a 25ft climb – pretty high when you’re only 4 foot 6 – a cave maze, [...]

E and M perform Cinderella for your delight and entertainment

Miss E and M do a little panto for Barnardo’s. Apologies for the scary make-up; we’ve been doing a Toys R Us review and it included face paints. Here they are displayed at the slightly crusty stage. Enjoy. Hope you’re not too traumatised.  If you enjoyed that then please donate if you can, and if [...]

My kids are officially crafty

Just over a week ago, we were snowed in.  It was snowy.  There was snow. For a week we went no further than our local shop where we procured important supplies such as milk, bread, spaghetti-hoops and chocolate.  School was closed, our car was buried and it was so cold we had to bubble-wrap our kitchen [...]

Can buy me love

When my Miss E went to the fabulous Forbidden Corner for a friend’s birthday she brought me back a gift. I never expected one and I’m sure she didn’t go with the intention of spending some of her savings on me, but she did. When she arrived home, tired, happy, grubby and slightly  soggy, she placed [...]

The Big Stuff

Last week was fairly traumatic for me. Not because my two little girls were away with their Daddy.  That’s fine; good even, because it makes me realise how much he must miss them a lot of the time – and I don’t often think about that.  It’s a year and a half since Mr B and [...]

Mum to a ten year old now

Today I am Mum to a 10 year old. My little blonde girl has been here a whole decade. The thing is, I can’t remember, or even imagine a time when she wasn’t here.  My heart won’t let me do it.  Maybe that’s just because I’m in a soppy mood today, but whatever it is, it’s fine [...]

Bring on the silly – Motherhood

My lovely Tara’s Motherhood gallery closes today so I might be a little too late for her competition, but having been away from my little girls for almost a week I couldn’t help hunting through a few photos while I was laying on my humungous bed in the SeaWorld Renaissance hotel. There were so many that [...]

Sometimes You Just Know…

It’s weird the stuff kids remember isn’t it?  Sometimes they truly surprise you.  They see stuff you somehow miss, and remember things that enter your brain but are swiftly extinguished replaced by bigger, ‘better,’ more grown up concerns.  And I wonder to myself, ‘What made that stand out for them?  What was it that meant [...]

Disney Blu Ray brings you Last Minute Prezzies and I bring you Exploding Cow Farts

Having been stuck in the house with no car and rather a lot of snow over the last couple of days, Misses E, M, and I have been partaking of some movie goodness. All you need is a sofa, a TV, a DVD/Blu-Ray player, at least one small and one large bottom, (I have one large [...]
