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 […]
So as you may have seen on my social media accounts, I have given myself a whole new look by dying my hair purple from a mousey blonde! I am still getting used to it myself but I am absolutely in love with it! My hair feels so soft, it’s really shiny, and the purple is so deep and where […]
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 […]
A few things have been swirling around my head recently about children, especially toddlers. Some of the things they do, and some of the things they say leave us all gob-smacked, laughing, the things you experience amidst all of the madness and sometimes most of the time, leaves you crying. The inability to listen the first, second and third time you […]
I haven’t posted much recently, apart from my weight loss posts my blog has been pretty much dead. I guess I’ve been feeling a little lost. I have so desperately been trying to work on myself, not just losing weight, but my general happiness. If I’m honest, it’s rare at the moment if I think to myself “it’s been a […]
I’ve been a very proud Mum for over three years now, and of course, I have been aware of it, but this morning, it finally hit me. Us Mummies and Daddies do everything we should, we keep them clean (as much as humanly possible), we feed them, teach them, kiss baddies, praise good behaviour, have amazing days with our children […]
Before I had Zak I didn’t take into account a lot of the little things that happen almost daily and how I was meant to deal with them. I knew the obvious ones like “you’ll miss out on so much sleep, be changing endless nappies, wiping tears, kissing baddies” etc. I loved all of that and I still do, but […]
As a child, I never suffered with bad skin, apart from the usual small outbreaks of teenage acne, I had really lovely skin. My Dad and Brother have both suffered with eczema all of their lives, and I’d always hated seeing them so uncomfortable and in pain from accidentally scratching. Then, when I turned 16 I moved out of my […]
