I’ve had enough. Absolutely, positively enough. It’s only February and already I (OK, my husband) has cleaned dog poo off my shoes three times, Wonderboy’s wellies once and one of our little friends fell in a particularly fragrant sample at the park the other day. Can you imagine what treats are in store for us […]
The weather so far this year has been awful here. And I mean awful. Biblical storms (seriously, one of the preschool mums lost part of her roof!) followed by what can only be described as an arctic blast – it was literally -6 in the sun the other day. While it has thankfully now mellowed a little, we’ve been cooped […]
With only 10 days to go, the promised romance of Valentine’s Day sparkles on the calendar. Let’s be honest, realistically I’m talking a card and nice meal at home which may or may not be interrupted by a tiny voice on the baby monitor looking for just one more story. Such is the glamorous […]
This time last year, Mr J and I were planning our first trip abroad with Wonderboy – wistful sigh! We decided to go the whole nine yards and head to sunnier climes in Florida, or more precisely, Orlando. We were off to chase some Disney magic – eek the excitement! I spent every spare minute […]
We love bathtime! Ever since Wonderboy was a tiny baby it’s been an opportunity for Daddy to spend some quality time with him after work as well as acting as the cue that bedtime is on its way. Wonderboy has always loved (and I mean LOVED) his bath – no tears or tantrums in […]
Brrrr … it’s properly freezing here at the moment. Who doesn’t love a hearty bowl of homemade soup with a hunk of crusty bread now that the cold Winter days are upon us? This is my go to recipe for a healthy but yummy lunch and it’s a fab way to sneak lots of vegetables onto […]
Tomorrow, 18th January, marks author A.A. Milne’s birthday so it’s officially Winnie the Pooh Day! What a fabulous excuse for a teddy bear’s picnic with lashings of honey on toast followed by endless stories about the adventures of Pooh and his pals. Winnie the Pooh is without a doubt one of Wonderboy’s favourite storybook characters and […]
All this wind and snow is making me want to go on holiday! This time last year, Mr J and I were planning our first trip abroad with Wonderboy – cue wistful sigh. We decided to go the whole nine yards and head to sunnier climes in Florida, or more precisely, Orlando. We were […]
The what?! I had no idea what this was but I’m nevertheless delighted that both Rachel at Tiddler Tales and Grainne at Hope From a Butterfly both nominated me. Turns out the Liebster Award is an award for new bloggers and helps people discover some blogs they maybe didn’t know about – who knew? So, here are the rules of […]
After reaching the height of laziness and gluttony over the holidays, I decided to put my best foot forward yesterday and do something productive with the time Wonderboy was in pre school. You know those things on your ‘to do’ list that constantly get put off and never actually get done? Well, I have a million […]
