When your child bites mine
My son is sitting happily in the rocking car thing at the playgroup, smiling and rocking. I'm glad - he's been a bit clingy this morning so it's nice to see him getting into playing. Your son decides he wants the car. He goes over and pushes my son, who ignores him. Your son......Read More

today's word of the day
Slummy mummy strikes again... Have you found www.urbandictionary.com ? I love it, it's words for things that you recognise but didn't have a way of expressing. I've signed up for their daily "word of the day" email. Today's phrase was "laundry limbo",......Read More

Yet another way to damage your children
So there's yet another story in the press about how normal everyday life is damaging children. I'm getting really fed up with it. I'm trying to do everything I can to raise my son to be a happy, healthy, well-rounded human being. But I just can't. We chose our baby buggy......Read More

In for a duck
First words from my 1-year old: to date we have mama, dada, uma (grandma), gaga (grandpa), car, cup, get (for anything that's out of reach), get-get (for something he's just been handed that he'd wanted) and the favourite... duck. Everything that goes in the bath is duck. Every toy......Read More

Christian words, unbelievably crass advertising
I'm not usually easily offended by advertising. For this, I'm making an exception. Head and Shoulders, which I think is the number 1 shampoo brand worldwide, not just in the UK, is running an advertising campaign in the UK the jist of which is that we all commit sins against our hair and......Read More

Having a fun wedding - part 1 dresses
Well, I said in my last post on weddings that I'd write a bit more and see how it goes, so here goes... Dresses. Once I'd got the engagement ring, one of the first things I thought of (other than venues, of which more another time) was the dress. There's a lot of fuss in books and......Read More

Having a fun wedding - intro
You know the film "Four weddings and a funeral"? My husband said that there was point in his early 30s where he felt like he was living it. Nearly 10 years on, I'm that age and I know exactly what he means. In the last year we've been to three weddings and a funeral. In the previous......Read More

Playing hardball with the phone
It's not often I feel you can win against the phone companies. When our mobile phone bills arrived this month, we saw that my husband was now paying substantially less a month in line rental than I was. He'd been rung by our provider and offered a new 18 month package, a new phone and......Read More

Sexy, romantic Valentine's menus : French
Ok, feeling peckish but still dieting, so here's another set of favourite menus perfect for a romantic meal. This time, French themed.
