Just like fairies dying when a person sneezes, every time someone comments on my blog I ignore another household chore (please leave a message there’s ironing to do).* Readers comments are one of the best things about writing a blog (sorry but I cannot bring myself to use blog as a verb). But even more wonderful […]
Don’t worry. I’m not about to moan about being at stay at home mum, we all know the pay is crap, the hours are long and you have to hide in the toilet when you want to eat biscuits or chocolate (they don’t tell you that in the baby books). But I’m happy with my […]
The spirit of Margaret Thatcher is alive and well in Eeh Bah Daughter. She is currently stomping round my kitchen waving her handbag, snatching her brother’s milk and refusing to back down until her wildly unpopular demands are met. I fully expect her to have deregulated snack time and closed down the naughty step by […]
Before I start I should make it clear I like CBeebies. It is the closest thing to live in childcare I have. However there is an inherent problem with children’s television, even Game Of Thrones would lose its shine for me if had to watch the same episode again and again and again. Actually […]
Let me get straight to the point I’m lazy, I breastfed because it was easier than faffing about with bottles, sterilizing and timing feeds. When I heard about a weaning process which involved throwing sticks of food at a baby I knew immediately this was the one for me. Surely though there must be more […]
Easter holidays mean no playgroups so I have been busy trying to entertain my children at home. To date we have made (and eaten) Easter baskets, Easter paper chains and chocolate crispy cake nesty buns. The baskets and paper chains weren’t really meant for human consumption but try telling that to Eeh Bah Son. To […]
I don’t know if you’ve ever fled a natural disaster with two young children in tow?
It’s not something I’d recommend. We drove for 4 hours – no toilet breaks, no snack stops, no let’s all have a break from the screaming baby stops – 4 hours on empty roads listening to the emergency services radio telling us to stay indoors.
It was terrifying.
The only positive note was that my bum was clenched so tight for the whole 4 hours my pelvic floor almost returned to its pre-pregnancy state.
As a parent you quickly learn to interpret different screams – there’s the tired scream, the I would like some attention scream and then there’s the scream of your child in genuine pain. The one that turns your stomach. Thank God I have not had to hear that one very often from my daughter. But […]
Before I had my daughter I remember being quite worried about what was going to happen to my tits. For the benefit of any mums-to- be this is what I have learned from breastfeeding my two children. Let’s start with the good stuff –the really good news is that post baby boobs look awesome. Enjoy […]
One of the good things about the first few Mothering Sundays is that it’s basically your partner doing all the work. In later years the kids start having their own input that’s when the flowers and chocolates come in. As a basic rule any mother of very young children will be dealing with a lot […]
