It’s easy to slip out of routines in the summer holidays because it’s likely you don’t have to get the children up really early like you do with school. Now that the new school term is approaching, it’s time to start thinking about getting the kids back to their school routine. Bedtime That’s the first routine that comes to mind. […]
A question that’s as old as the tale of time, when should children be allowed to wear make up? I’ve got to be honest, I originally wrote “when should girls be allowed to wear make up” and then changed my mind because I didn’t want anyone being offended that only girls should wear it. Anyway, back to my point. What […]
Not long until the kids are back to school! I can literally hear the sigh of relief from a lot of you! I’ve got to admit, I have loved every second of the summer holidays with Dinky, he’s really come into himself as a character and his behavior has improved massively. Before the summer holidays, I was struggling with his […]
Being a busy mum is a 24/7 job, and once you’ve signed up; there’s always going to be plenty to keep you active. Therefore, it can be difficult to find the time to get to the gym for a workout and get home again; not to mention the added stress of finding childcare and ensuring that everything around the house […]
We all hate mornings, especially Monday mornings. It’s the first day after that very much needed two-day rest and many of us don’t just have ourselves to get ready, we have our little ones too. I have never been very good at getting out of bed in the morning, even since I’ve had Dinky, I have to have about 50 […]
It’s no secret that Dinky is currently going through a diagnosis for autism. I’ve known from a very early age that he would be. All of these are phrases I loathe. He doesn’t look like he has autism.. No it’s not a physical deformity, it’s a mental condition. So no, he doesn’t look any different to what you consider “normal”. In […]
Dear Dinky, I doubt you will ever read this, but I love you. I love the way you kiss my cheek when you’ve been naughty. I love the way you can never be still, even though I know it’s more frustrating for you than it is for anyone else. I love how every morning regardless of how you feel, you […]
Last year at parents evening, Dinky’s teacher recommended that we take him to get his eyes tested as she had noticed his depth perception was off. She also pointed out that he has got a bit of a squint in his left eye. Suddenly all of Dinky’s falls, bumps and spillage made more sense. I thought he may have just […]
I was sat in a dress shop watching my beautiful cousin try on her wedding dress when it first happened. That magical moment when you first feel your baby kick, not just a flutter but a full on boot you in the side. Everyone rushes around to feel your stomach, but the baby doesn’t kick again, that first big one […]
Everyone has their own little ways of soothing, disciplining and in general just dealing with their child, and normally I say each to their own, but here are some of the most ridiculous things I’ve been told to do as a parent! If your baby bites you, bite them back I’m sorry but fuck off, if your baby is biting […]
