Comparatively Crazy
It’s hard to believe how fast this year is already going! I’ve been a bit slack with updating my own blog thanks to the craziness of mum life and working life combined. But alas, I am still around and in turn so are my delightful children (for now!) and the many interesting stories that come […]
Always and forever a mum
You were my firstborn. The first time I heard your heartbeat was when I truly realized I was going to be a mum. A role I still struggle to get my head around most days. But you made me a mum and gave me the official title (your little sister certainly cemented it). I gave […]
Two different paths
If anyone ever asks me to describe my two girls, I would have to use the old line of chalk and cheese. While there’s no mistaking they are sisters – blonde hair, blue eyes, dimple in their chin (sorry girls, it’s in the genetic line up), very tall in height and big feet (again sorry […]
Preparing for battle
It’s amazing how quickly kids get bored when they are forced to stay at home. They do have a million toys to play with (especially when we’ve just had Christmas) and books to read, shows to watch and access to a pretty decent yard with swings, a trampoline and a swimming pool. But no, out […]
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 […]
Take a deep breath and…run?!
Is the day over yet? I feel like all I’ve done is yell and get angry. Damn rain ruining all the fun. Why do kids go absolutely bonkers when it rains and find my last nerve with everything they do?! Even if I walk away, they find me and keep on going and going. It’s […]
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, […]
Sass is the new direction
I know my parents often tell me I had extremely cheeky moments as a child and I could be quite the devil at times, but I’m starting to think that karma is screwing me over. Hell hath no fury like a child scorned, well two of them in fact and both girls as well, scored […]
Always there
There’s nothing scarier than being a mum. Okay, maybe being taken by a shark or twisty rollercoasters might be up there, but you get what I mean. It terrifies me to think I’m responsible for two little humans. That it’s up to me to help shape their future, teach them things and help them become […]
Always asking questions
How do you know if you’re doing it right? This whole parenting thing? Even life in general? You don’t! You can only do your best and see what happens after that. It’s pretty much flying blind, winging it, put your beer goggles on and just go with the flow type of stuff. Maybe some structure […]
