I read this article today on ‘sharents’ – parents who over share on social media. I thought it was going to be yet another person bagging out parents sharing things about their children on social media, but I was surprisingly wrong. It was a great article which pretty much summed up how I feel about […]
As I watched Baby Bear falling asleep after his bedtime breastfeed tonight I reflected on how lucky I am to have him in my life. No matter how good or bad the day has been, when I look at him snuggled in my arms asleep at night, I always feel like the luckiest person in […]
Today Baby Bear and I caught up with some of our Mummy and bubby friends. The kiddos got to play free-range style at our friends house, while us Mummies got to talk and relax a bit in each others company. We got talking about different parenting styles as a couple of them had other people […]
The last few days have been particularly hard for me. I love my life as a stay at home mum to Baby Bear, but I have been feeling very left out lately. Most of my friends lives run very differently from mine right now and, while I do try to catch up with them as […]
I was talking to a friend about gratitude today, so I decided that this blog post is going to be about some of the things I’m grateful for in my life right now. I am grateful that my family and I are relatively healthy. I may not be back to my pre-Baby Bear weight, and […]
I had a big surprise today. I discovered that Baby Bear has cut three teeth! they definitely were not there when I brushed his teeth yesterday! My poor boy cut all three without a peep out of him! I cannot believe it, because three at once (two of them were molars), would have been so […]
Having so many pregnant friends has got me thinking about the things I found most useful for me during Baby Bear’s birth, as well as for the first few months of his life. I’d like to share some of these things with you now. What I needed for Baby Bear’s birth I just need to […]
Whoever thought up the saying ‘I slept like a baby’ clearly didn’t have children! ‘Go to sleep already!!!’ Is something that has run through my head a few times since Baby Bear was born – I’m sure every parent has thought the same thing (perhaps in more explicit words) at one time or another. It […]
When I woke up this morning I had the strangest feeling that I wanted to deep clean my house. It doesn’t happen very often (usually it’s just your regular run-of-the-mill clean), so I went with it. Thankfully I had a little helper for the first time today. Baby Bear thought it was very funny watching […]
I decided to put my chef hat on again today and made some vanilla cupcakes with lemon buttercream icing – they were delicious, even if I do say so myself! Here is a picture of some of them all finished: I also made my first ever batch of ice cream! It was much easier than […]
