The beautiful, funny & unsightly truths about raising 3 year old twins & an 8 year old singleton… with one on the way!
Yesterday we wished a very happy 1st birthday to my beautiful Baby Bear. I wrote this post for him to look back on when he is all grown up! Dear Baby Bear, I cannot believe you are one year old already! How was it a year ago that Aunty Kerry and I watched you enter […]
When I blogged that we were looking for wedding venues… I may have been fibbing a little bit. We actually planned our wedding just after we got engaged and kept it a secret. Once we had chosen our wedding venue and started planning the details, we asked ourselves… why wait? Why wait months or years […]
If you thought the title of this post was propaganda or clickbait, you were wrong. One marriage proposal, three birthdays and two divorce’s are just some of the things that have happened in the last few months. To be a little more accurate… One marriage proposal, three birthdays, two parties, two divorce’s, two flights, ten train journeys, […]
You don’t get to choose your family, but it’s not always DNA that makes a family. Any man can father a child but it takes someone special to be a Daddy. Baby Bear… I want to tell you about Mike… Actually, you know him as Daddy. In the beginning, we called him “Daddy Mike” but now […]
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I can honestly say mine was the best I’ve had in many years. I don’t usually set new years resolutions, but this year, I do have some. Not so much resolutions, as there (for once) aren’t many things about my life that I […]
I was 42 weeks and 1 day pregnant and despite desperately wanting a spontaneous labour and a natural birth, I had resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to be induced. I woke up with pains, the morning before my induction at 3:50 am. I didn’t get my hopes up, because I’d woken […]
It began with 9 year old Bunny’s questions… “Mummy how did the baby get in your tummy?” “Mummy how does the baby get out of your tummy?” “Mummy how is Josh the baby’s daddy when he’s not your boyfriend?” So I bought a little book called “Mummy laid an egg” by Babette Cole after reading recommendations […]
To my smart, beautiful, funny and feisty little girl. Today is your 9th birthday and I absolutely cannot work out where the years have gone. How can you be that old already? Life seems to go by in a heartbeat and sometimes it saddens me that we can’t slow time down a little. […]
I am a very gushy mum. I tell my children about a hundred times a day, that I love them, and I wonder if that’s often enough?! I tell them that they are perfect, beautiful, funny and clever, because to me, they are and because I want them to grow up confident and believing in […]
At the time of publishing this post, I am 27 weeks pregnant, however this is the post I wrote at 20 weeks pregnant. A lot has happened since then, so be sure to follow along… I thought I’d escaped it, but no. At 20 weeks pregnant, I have norovirus. Or whatever sick bug Bunny has. […]
