When pregnant with twin boy and twin girl I had the fashion sense of a gnat, for far too long I tried to squeeze into my own clothes which made everything look like two pigs fighting under a blanket. With BB I managed to have a bit more style, mainly because I dressed my bump by buying some decent vital items that could be wore at different times. It was at this time that I discovered … [Read more...]

Parenting tips: Bleurgh
By · 28 Comments
Things that make me go Bleurgh..... 1. Parking in a family parking bay. Yes you are late and yes its busy but people carriers were met to stick together. Don't force me to park with the cool cars as neither I or the car enjoys the silent ridicule as I try and wrestle a buggy and 3 kids out with two inches of space. However if you decide to park in my spot because secretly you want one of my … [Read more...]

When you see me shouting at my children just because I am having a rubbish day feel free to tell me to calm down. When you see me bribe my children with chocolate feel free to suggest better ways to get them to behave well and play nicely. When you see me "forget" to get the kids to brush their teeth at night-time because I have had enough and the bottle in the fridge is calling … [Read more...]

Dear Gina Ford, I’m sorry….
By · 44 Comments
Dear Gina, I'm sorry; I have been bewitched. I am completely and utterly spellbound by an eight month old baby girl. Twin boy and girl were not different, they captivated my heart from the moment they crept out the sunroof, but as they came as a pair adhering to your routines meant I had a life which involved sleep and lots of it. But with BB she has clearly cast a spell on me as … [Read more...]
