The generational divide

I’m feeling kind of grateful my girls aren’t a little older….just yet. Otherwise they’d realise how “uncool” their mumma is. That’s right, you read that correctly! According to some Gen Z youngsters (yep, may as well throw the digs in where necessary) I’m part of a really old generation (Millennials) because we put a side […]

Tick, tick, tick….cross

I didn’t sign up for any of this. The drama. The tantrums. The sassy attitude. The back chatting. And even the hitting. Not just each, but I’ve been known to cop a toy or even a limb to the face/head. Nope I didn’t sign up for that. None of it. Geez, I wonder where they […]

Crazy Times

You almost feeling like saying WTF world? We are living in a really strange time, something that I have never seen before and many others as well, let alone our kids. I’ve never had the experience of being away from school before the term ended with no way of knowing exactly when we’ll go back. […]

A Sentence of Epic Proportions

“You don’t love me mummy”. And just like a knife to the heart, I had these words thrown at me recently. Well yelled repeatedly. I could have cried. But for once I kept my cool and stayed calm (miracle, I know!). Because as much as it hurt for my beautiful five-year-old to utter those words, […]

From strength to strength

You can do this. Yes, you. I’m talking to the have been doing it for years mum, the new mum, the soon-to-be mum and everyone else out there who fulfils the parenting role.

A little bit of history repeating??

I can do this, I repeat to myself again and again. I count to 10 but it doesn’t work. Why do you both have to be so strong willed like me? Haha! Karma I guess. Yes, my beautiful and cheeky, but oh so attitude filled daughters are at it again, breaking Mummy! It’s not hard […]

Ups and downs

Every day with kids is a roller coaster. One minute you’re up, the next going down and let’s not forget always having to be prepared for the unexpected twists and turns. Like now, I feel like a walking zombie again thanks to the joys of teething and the oh so fun tantrums….from not just one […]

Timing isn’t always everything

Is there ever a good time in life to do anything?? Or do you keep waiting for the “right” time? Life is a roller coaster of highly anticipated events. From the moment you’re born, you go through your multitude of first achievements, head off to school, maybe study further and then launch yourself into a […]

Through their eyes

I was really at a loss as to what I was going to write about next. Yes, dreaded writer’s block had hit me like a tonne of bricks. But a scroll through Facebook proved fruitful, for a change. I came across an interesting post on the Kidspot page. I think what caught my attention was […]
