The beautiful, funny & unsightly truths about raising 3 year old twins & an 8 year old singleton… with one on the way!
My nine year old daughter, Bunny, had an eye test 2 years ago. To our surprise, we found out that she needed glasses and very strong ones at that. We also found out, that I needed glasses too! Our journey with glasses, however, was not particularly successful. Bunny was given two pairs of glasses, one pair insured, the […]
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. […]
After a Christmas party yesterday, at the local twins club, where my girls spent most of the time parked up at the buffet table, they came home still loaded with energy. So with the Christmas tree up and Christmas songs on the TV, they did everything from dancing and spinning to roly polys and then […]
I was lucky to never experience the “terrible two’s” with Bunny. She was an angelic two-year-old. I’m paying for that now she’s seven though and seems to think she is seventeen! The twins however, are another story. They are now two years and four months old (almost) and serious troublemakers. “Double the trouble and double […]
I’m hugely lucky that I have never had head lice and neither have any of my children, but it’s extremely unlikely that that trend is going to last them all the way through school. One day, the inevitable will happen. Many many children suffer with head lice and because children of school age are often […]
I’ve been feeling a little jealous over the Easter holidays, of all the fantastic photos I’ve seen on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, of the fun places people have been taking their children for family time. The weather has been beautiful lately, yet due to my slow recovery from surgery, I’ve not been up to doing […]
Last night we received a letter from school. The law has changed. The school are no longer allowed to authorise family holidays in school term time. What do you think about this? Personally… I think it’s ridiculous! I’m someone who missed over a year of school and didn’t take my SAT’s (because I was having […]
At the weekend, I took the girls to one of Bunnys favourite places. It’s called Primrose Vale and it’s a PICK YOUR OWN farm. I first took Bunny when she was about three years old. We went Strawberry picking. Now it’s one if those places we go every summer. It’s lovely on a hot day […]
I’m home! I’ve had the rest of my thyroid removed. My parathyroids and my lymph nodes have been left intact. I came round to the same awful post-morphine side effects as last time… Many hours of vomiting, being kept on a drip for fluids and drifting in and out of wakefulness on a heady concoction […]
Blogging Blues Who’d have thought something so silly could tip me over the edge? With all this MAD blog awards stuff in my head, voting currently going on and the pressure of competing with some fantastic blogs, I thought it would be the perfect time to get my blog the way I want it. All […]
