A crap day…. ~ Northernmum

We have all been there. You crack open the door to the toddlers room and the smell hits you in the face. Mouldy cheese and rotting veg springs to mind and you wonder what on earth you fed that child to create such an inhuman smell. Then you remember. You remember with a uncomfortable jolt using the last wipe to whip round the loo seat after your six year old son missed his target again … [Read more...]

Christmas and all that jazz

So the festive season is fully upon us, dangling blinking lights hang from every other house and the vast majority of us have paid an inappropriate amount of money for a large potted plant to sit and slowly die in the corner of our living room. However as it is the time to be merry we at least send the plant out in style by adorning it with sparkles and glitter; and in our case a vast amount of … [Read more...]

Sweet lord, it has been a long time since I have ventured anywhere near a shopping centre with the bambinos in tow.  However today proved unavoidable so beautiful baby was tucked into the buggy and twin one and two were issued with several rules and regulations about behaviour, running off and inappropriate bogey licking and off we went. First issue, lifts.......  sounds innocent doesn’t … [Read more...]
