Clearing and decluttering really does take a long time to do. Even worse is when you need to clear out your own house, but you’re spending your free time clearing out someone else’s. In this case, our mum’s house. We’ve…
So, food packaging. Or just packaging in general, but food packaging is my minor gripe. Usually because there’s a toddler hanging off me or climbing up on chairs to open the fridge and remove something to ease his ‘I’m hungry’…
N’s generally a really friendly child, or he is once he’s got used to people. I think it’s helped that he’s been around lots of people since really young. As a baby we spent a lot of time out and…
While I no longer play sports anymore (aside from doing a bit of swimming), I do love to watch the big sporting events on tv. Even sports I don’t follow or wouldn’t usually be interested in (judo, for example), I…
The summer holidays obviously don’t mean a lot to us yet. They will do next year before N starts school, but until then, we’ll be carrying on pretty much as normal. N’s nursery school has finished for the end of…

Whenever we’re in the car, we always end up talking about something that generally leads into a bizarre conversation. I guess that’s toddler conversations for you. The other day, Black Eyed Peas ‘I Got a Feeling’ came on the radio….
Unsurprisingly, N has already picked up a lot of views which seem to have come from myself. In particular, I like to share my feelings in the car and vocalise my opinions of some of the crass driving you often see around. We…
Children’s accents are funny things. I wouldn’t class myself as having an accent that was recognisable as coming from a specific area. Having my formative years living in Windsor (therefore speaking very well, some would say posh, although it wasn’t received…
I’m always amused by the discussions that N and his dad have. They always seem very different to those I have with him. I dread to think what they might turn out like by the time N’s older and supposedly…
