Toilet training tantrums

Each day with my son is a learning curve. He is like chalk to his sister’s cheese. We have never encountered a child like him before, and neither has my mum. We are often left scratching our heads, looking for answers to his behaviour, his health issues and his tantrums. I’ve mentioned...

Could Name it Labels be the answer?

Those who know me really well know that I am not exactly the world’s most organised person. I’m a lot better than I used to be but now I have three children, sometimes I feel as though my brain might explode with all their different appointments and so on. Our calendar is the most...

Does anyone want to be me for the night?

The title of this post is only half serious. Honest. It’s just that I’ve reached that point where five months of intense breastfeeding has started to become a little arduous, if I can be so blunt, and I’d quite like a night off now please. I’m no fool. I know that...

Nurturing creativity

We’re trying something new at the moment. It’s called no-nap time. It was all the toddler’s idea and I have to say that I am not completely sold on it yet. It goes like this: The toddler doesn’t nap. The toddler gets very tired. Mummy gets to the end of her tether as she...

Cherie Blair: you're wrong on working mums

I’m not sure quite what Cherie Blair was trying to do when she recently ‘launched an attack’ on so-called Yummy Mummies. The ex Prime Minister’s wife apparently called for all stay-at-home mums to get a grip and get back to work, or else been seen as unable to cope...

Breastfeeding - 19 weeks on

I can hardly believe Isobel is 19 weeks old! It only feels like yesterday writing about her impending birth and all the emotions I was feeling whilst heavily pregnant with her. Oh, how our lives have changed! I already knew from experience that having a baby changes your life so much but I still...

No, she isn’t sleeping through yet

My baby isn’t sleeping through the night. There, I said it. Happy now? Well I am. I honestly do noy give it as much thought as random strangers seem to be giving it. I’m just perplexed as to why people feel the need to keep asking me if she is sleeping through the night yet. The answer...

14 weeks old

I don’t know where the time went; the hours just flew away. I looked, and you had grown in so many ways. You smiled. You laughed. You almost rolled over. You out-grew clothes, you held up your head. You clutched my hand and you caught my eye for the longest moment. 14 weeks ago, we hadn...

To work or not to work?

I’ve worked in one way or another since I was about ten years old. I started with babysitting, paper rounds and washing up. I moved on to waitressing, bar work and office work. I studied and I trained and I sacrificed a lot to become a teacher. And then I had children. Lots of parents will...

Where did my waist go?

Okay, own up. Who took my waist? It was here around 12 months ago so I know I had one... On a serious note, though: why did nobody tell me that it is your third child that finally does it? The first two, I managed to fairly quickly spring back into my jeans and even had some room. This time...
