It does not.3.05am: I head downstairs to her room where she is wide awake, but cranky that she is wide awake. She asks for a drink. I comply. She says she wants to come too. I say no, … [Read more...]

The thing with living in a small(ish) house is trying to make do with the space you have and occasionally mix things up. When we moved Daisy's room around the other week in order to refresh the feng shui (!) and see if her moving things around would make her want to spend more time in there we have … [Read more...]

Just about sums up our parenting style. No freaking idea and trying to work it out each and every day for the past 2 and a bit years. Some of my friends are addicted to reading books on babies, and toddlers and kids - every stage that they go through they read up and are knowledgeable. Rob banned me … [Read more...]

Just realised that it's been almost a week since my last schmaltzy post. It's funny how motherhood makes you all sentimental and in love with it all one minute and then back to reality with a thump. Or vomit in this case.Last night we had the joy of a little someone hopping into OUR bed just in time … [Read more...]

We had a change of plans on the weekend. We were meant to head up to the country to Rob's godfather's property with his Dad and step mum but a series of events (said god father getting sick, Sue's mum having a small stroke and Rob working) meant that we were no longer heading away. I was bummed … [Read more...]

We moved Daisy's room around the other day in order to see if that would make a difference to things and her current sleep dramas.

So, it's been over a week now that we have been having these fun* night terrors. While they have been occurring on and off ever since Daisy was about 1, for some reason they are peaking at the moment and coming on more, and more often.So what the hell am I whinging about? Let me give you a little … [Read more...]

I am NOT going to write a post whining about how crap things have been the last few days.

Heavy and deep title and I don't quite think the content of this will match.I am all kinds of mixed up this afternoon. This morning I went to the funeral of a friend from school's sister, who at just 34 died from a 7 year battle with cancer. It was an amazing send off and celebration of a life that … [Read more...]

This morning it finally felt like it was late April. I have been very keen for autumn to start and for the warm weather to be over. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of summer - love it in fact - it's just that I love summer in summer and not in Autumn. It's the virgo in me that comes out I think - … [Read more...]

Cause it's about all I can handle today. Tired, tired, tired. I might even be so rude as to use bullet points. Yes, yes I will.

So, I am 12 weeks this week. That magical number which *should* mean that I start to feel better soon, that my energy will slowly come back, that I get to see that I actually have a baby inside of me. That it is healthy, and doing all it should be. I should be excited to be so close but I have to … [Read more...]

We had an attempt on Friday to get Daisy's first hair cut. I promised Daisy just a little trim - quick, no fuss and lots of fun and chocolates and prizes involved (great parenting I know). Let's just say that things did NOT go well, and I fear that she will never let me get near her hair again.I … [Read more...]

Or as Daisy would say "Tarmon! Tarmon!". She seems to say c'mon alot these days. "C'mon Dad hurry up! C'mon Mum, come and play with me!" I should probably teach her to say something else...but it's cute. But I digress....I am willing April to hurry up, and while I am not one to wish my life away it … [Read more...]
