The beautiful, funny & unsightly truths about raising 3 year old twins & an 8 year old singleton… with one on the way!
You are only 11 years old. Just a few weeks ago, you thought boys were gross. Now you have a boyfriend. You’ve been together a few weeks (4 or 5) and everyone around you seems to be talking about “young love”. You’re sweet on each other. It’s all so innocent. You don’t even hold hands […]
A few years ago, I left the job I was in because there were some vindictive people working there, who were deliberately trying to make my life difficult for me. They spread lies and nasty rumours about me for months to try and get me into trouble. They failed every time, but it caused me […]
Bunny has just finished her first week of secondary school. I say week, it was only actually three days, but nevertheless. As my oldest child, this is all completely new territory to me and the only comparisons I can make, are with my own secondary school experiences. I went to a very strict public school […]
Baby Bear is now 2 years old (his birthday was a few weeks ago, but we’ve been real busy). TWO! How did that happen? It seems like only yesterday that I was blogging Baby Bear’s birth story and wondering, “Will I be able to love a new baby as much as my existing children?“ I […]

We seem to keep jumping from snow to spring and back to snow again! Not long after my post about playing in the snow during The Beast from the East and Storm Emma, we had the Mini Beast from the East drop another load of snow in Gloucestershire. I’d mentioned on Twitter that I’d never […]
I give you my heart, my beautiful, funny, clever, amazing children. There are many moments in motherhood, that overwhelm me with such an abundance of love for my children, that I just want to be able to express it. I can’t of course. Nobody can write that much love. However, during one of those moments […]
On Monday, I woke up to a text message from my girl’s school. It said, “The school currently has no water” and went on to explain that the school might not be open. We were updated a few minutes later with a text confirming that school was indeed closed for the day. A lay-in for […]
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 […]
