How is my child 4 in just a few weeks?

I’m hyperventilating. Or losing my mind. Seriously though, my child turns 4 in 2 weeks and I feel like the last few months, the biggest changes have happened and I don’t know if I’m ready for it yet. It’s been a big year for so many reasons but it’s flown and I don’t know if…

F^ck you teeth! Leave my daughters mouth alone!

Teething is s nightmare and as if night terrors isn’t enough, the teething has rejoined for another visit. Hopefully not to last too long this time. Now that her canines are coming through, Emily is drooling hard. My poor bubba just can’t catch a break at the moment and has pretty much gone off all…

My Daughter Isn’t In Dresses, So What?

Emily looks gorgeous in dresses, but no she doesn’t wear them all the time. This seems to be a problem for some people, not naming names, that I don’t dress her in dresses because I want her to just have fun. So I felt the need to write something, it shouldn’t bother me, but it…

What I’ve learnt in the year since Emily was born

Since Emily was born so many things have happened. Amazing things, wonderful things, crazy things. It’s been a brilliant journey and we’re only 15 months in. The past 15 months has flown by at a ridiculous rate. How did we make it through this time without killing each other? But although there’s been moments, it’s…

Feed your child how you want, boob or bottle, mother knows best.

There’s a lot of talk in the press at the moment that women who breastfeeding are slowly dying out, becoming such a rarity that it could stop all together. I don’t breastfeed Emily, but before you pass the judgement book, I stopped because I developed thrush and fuck me it was painful. Emily wasn’t getting…

This weather is pants and it’s making us all sick

So this week is a pretty big week. This week we wave goodbye to the little digits and say hello to the big almighty 1, because Emily will be going from little baby to what the professionals class as “toddler.” But this week couldn’t just run smoothly without hiccups could it? Of course not. We’ve…

My daughter does “talk” loudly, so what? 

  Emily talks. Ok, it’s not actual words, a lot of goo goo, ga ga, da da da and other random noises but she’s hellbent on letting everyone know that she’s here and you must take notice. I love that she has her own little language and she gets happy at the sound of her…

What’s with the baby talk with everything in my life now?

I love a good swear word. Especially in the heat of the moment, when no other word can deliver that all-important feeling of anger and you just come out with it. A big juicy “fuck off,” and it feels like you’ve won the argument, even if you haven’t, you feel like you’ve earned your part…

We Found Dory and loved it!

Yesterday afternoon I had a lovely afternoon with Sam’s sister-in-law and niece. Not only was the sun out in all its beautiful glory, but it was also the perfect day that Sam, his brother, nephew, best mates and second cousins went to football, that us girls had some peace and quiet and chose to go…
