Growing up is hard to do
I never thought I’d admit I miss my girls as babies. Yes they cried, needed me for everything and quite often I had no idea what they actually wanted (so not much has changed then!) but together we got through it. Don’t get me wrong I love them as the crazy, attitude riddled individuals they […]
The finest moments
I know I’m not the best mother. I’m nowhere near perfect. I don’t ever claim to be. I yell and I scream (who doesn’t?). I probably rant and rave a fair bit too. I sometimes pretend to throw tantrums back at my children too, not necessarily because I think it’s funny or I’m trying to […]
Living the life of Mum
“Mummy you’re a bum bum face.” “Mummy you have a big bum.” “Mummy you’re silly.” “Mummy I don’t like you anymore.” “Mummy Mummy Mummy….” “Mummy I love you.” Out of the lot I definitely prefer the last one. Not sure I hear it as much as I’d like but I’ll take it when I can. […]
Smack, bang, game over
“I’m going to bed early tonight.” Hahahaha! It’s probably the funniest thing I’ve said all day, maybe all year, perhaps in the last decade too. I rarely go to bed early these days. I look at any time after the girls go to bed as “my time”. Yes, it means I get a little less […]
Learning the ropes
“No.” “Not yet.” “I don’t want to.” “Coz Mummy.” “I’m a big girl.” Yep defiance is strong in my baby girl. I wonder where she gets it from?! Haha, who am I kidding?!! Miss Phoebe is one strong willed and very independent young lady and very much like her mummy already. Well, to be fair, […]
Like mother, like daughters
My mini me’s have been at it again. What now? Oh, just the usual for a four-year-old full of attitude and her cheeky two-year-old sister who likes to copy everything she can. I’ve been told “no” and “don’t you dare mummy” more times than I dare to count. I’ve also been huffed and grunted at, […]
Good times and bad
Do you ever just look at your kids and think wow what did I do to be given such angels? Pffffft nope neither do I! If it ever happens it’s usually in the five minutes they sleep peacefully….in their own beds. Ahhhhhh bliss. I’m still waiting for that five minutes. I can dream that one […]
One foot in front of the other
“Mummy. Mummmmmyyyyy. “Mummmmmm. Watch this! “MUMMY! “Why?? Why Mummy? Why????????” Ever feel like the walls are starting to close in on you? My favourite saying when it comes to motherhood is “never a dull moment”. Oh how true it really is! My girls are forever keeping me on my toes. Whether it’s constantly yelling for […]
Looking from the outside in
You never really know what type of mum you are going to be until you’re living the role. And even then, you’ll still find yourself all over the place. Because kids are unpredictable. There’s no manual, no rule book and definitely no remote control! Although that would make some things a lot easier to deal […]
One step at a time
I want to do it. Can I do it? What are you doing? What’s that? Can I help? It’s all about helping mummy these days, which I love. Except when nine times out of ten it would be much quicker to do it myself. But it’s hard to say no to a very determined young […]
